Any real boxing fan actually think that Crawford has a chance?

    Or blown up lightweights and welterweights.

    If Marvin was around today, he would be called a weight bully for fighting the likes of Duran.

    Actually he'd have been written off as an exposed hype job for his two earlier losses before he was even champ.

      Canelo has declined but even these bums he's been fighting he's dropped most of them, so he hits hard and has been delivering that power, he's not shot.

      Crawford will have to stick and move and control range and that's NOT his style, never had been.

      A ton of casuals have bought into the idea that crawford is so skilled and he's the same size as canelo, they don't get out of camp weight isnt fight night weight. Crawford wasn't cutting 35-40 pounds and coming in the 180s at 147, he 100 percent is smaller than canelo and his power ain't going to bother canelo. Canelo has hurt guys who are like 190 in the ring, when Crawford feels it then I suspect he backs off and fights very cautiously, check is already in the mail he ain't going out on his shield he will phone it in and try to last 12

          I'd say the skill gap isnt as wide as people make it out to be

            If Crawford can’t hurt Canelo early he has no shot.

              It is, Canelo is very basic, he's very, very good at the basics but he is basic.

                And I don`t see Crawford hurting Canelo.

                Am I missing something, does anybody believe Crawford hits harder than Kovalev, GGG, Bivol?

Just like Floyd, people are letting their personal feelings about Canelo overshadow his skillset. People are falling for the hype that this is some kind of 50-50 fight. This is going to turn into a Canelo type of fight after the 4th-5th round and then he is going to proceed to beat the crap out of Crawford.


                  Canelo has not scored a KO in years. Crawford thinks Canelo is past it and wants a chance for a record payday so ....

                  Boxing fans can be suckers. The fight is in Las Vegas, meaning the $$$ fighter will win whether he deserves to or not. Who are the judges? Adalaide Byrd?

                  I would not be the house on Canelo, but maybe the car.

                    - - I'd say Craw hits harder than Joke da Boxer.

                    Really, this fight is a Turki joke financed fight.
