Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jnr likes Terence Crawford's chances to beat Canelo Alvarez

[Nightfall]

Alvared has the better chin and is use to the weight. Crawford aint scared of sht, has the skills and is no walk in the park. i'm looking forward to saturday night

Black guys can't deal with the fallout of coming out and saying it might be a bridge too far for Crawford, which I'm sure a lot of them are thinking.

you can't deal with your smaller D syndrome which im sure you can't (racist maggot) weak btch.

what and how will the weight effect Crawdaddy ? That is the question i keep asking, do i want LaCraw to win sure i do i would want a dishwasher to beat Saul if he were to fight him Saturday Night. How will he move......(slower) how can he take the shots that do and will land ? (they will effect a lot) Will the killer instinct in Crawdaddy help or hurt him ? Depends how hurt or how his reflexes handle his new weight class. it is a challenge for both fighters the weight the age the pressure of winning and not losing. People should watch i have been talking it up not just Saul v Craw but the whole card....that is what i want i want a good nasty but clean fight to draw a few fight fans in who are staying away from boxing. The access makes that possible.

That maybe true but it’s also leaning in on your guy because he’s American like you.

Not really. Because Roy has picked Non-Americans to win over American fighters in the past. This was strictly based off skin colour.

This fight will be closer than people think. Canelo's punch isn't the issue at all. It's whether Crawford can implement his game plan and stick to it the whole fight. If Crawford can crack Canelo hard and get his respect then the fight will be different. Same goes for Canelo. If he cracks Crawford hard and gets his respect early then both fighters will have to adjust their game plans. Nobody knows until fight day.

Either you are a genius or I just think you are a genius because we are on the same page..........Agreed 100%

Id favour Nel o as bud liked 5 years acclimatising to division before beating top man. If they were to have rematch then bud might well pull it off in any rematch

roy only picked bud because bread did

Roy, one of my all time favorites, has been reading my posts.

Kidding. But I have been saying it for years, Canelo never knocks any good fighter or prime fighter out. He has some power but not show stopping power.

Crawfors has height and reach and he has been killing himself to make weight for years. He will come in strong and fresh. He will time Canelo and beat him up. Crawford is far more skilled, places his shots far better and he has an incredibly high ring IQ.

If Canelo comes in feinting like Madrimov did for the entire fight he has a shot. Madrimov was ridiculous throughout the Bud fight....it worked in that he didn't get stopped, but he clearly lost. There is chance of Canelo landing a haymaker because Bud will take some risks, but as Canelo hasn't even stopped anyone in years, that is unlikely.

I find it amazing that so many think Canelo will be dominant. Watch Crawford crack him with a hard shot. Canelo will go into retreat mode and flurry a bit here and there as his gas tank runs out. Saul will be fighting with his mouth open by the late rounds as Crawford circles him and picks him apart.

I can hear it now after the fight. "Well, we all knew Canelo was on the decline and now we can see he should have retired." Etc etc.

Have you considered that it could just be about BOXING ?
Normal people don't take a fighters race into account when picking winner in a fight , they analyze the matchup using their knowledge of the game. Most people are not an ignorant racist piece of shlt.
