Poll: Who do you think will win Canelo vs Crawford

[RockyKO]

Pretty close poll. 16-9 in favor of Canelo. I voted for Crawford due to the fact that his movement, speed, and foot work seem superior to Canelo's (albeit slightly). Canelo definitely has the edge in power, durability, stamina, and has a better chin. But like I said in my previous post, its going depend how well Bud adjust to his new weight. Because if it slows him down then Alvarez will land some hard body shots, slowly break him down, and eventually land a KO in the 9th or 10th round.

buds stamina seems very good, people who think bud will win think he will out stamina canelo at the end and put him under pressure as a result

if canelo does somehow lose to bud he will have to have a new raft of excuses handy, after bivol it was no i actually won the fight, when everyone but his moma pointed out he lost he changed tack and blamed his sore handies for his loss

if he loses to bud forget vive mexico it will be more like a grovelling sorry mexico instead

Bud is better pound for pound but weight classes exist for a reason. He’s jumping up to 168 tonight, completely skipping 160. He only fought once at 154 and didn’t look good. All his highlights are from 147 and 140.
Canelo been at this weight for 7 years.

Canelo is clearly past his peak but he’s still signing multi fight deals, so he clearly don’t think he’s ready to hang them up.

I think Bud could win if he made it a stinker and stayed on the bike but he hasn’t fought like that in a long time. Plus he just weighed in at basically the limit, same as Nelo. I think he should have stayed lighter than that personally. Think he will be slower than we are used to seeing him and easier to hit tonight.

I could still see him doing it though. He’s definitely one of the best fighters of the last 20 years and a win tonight would make him probably top 10 ever. I kind of think if he does win it will be a schooling. That would probably mean I’m wrong about him keeping his same speed at this weight or Nelo is wrong and he’s closer to being done than he thought. Can’t see Bud stopping him though so an actual KO out of the question unless Nelo’s corner stops it because there’s a complete speed difference. But I think Nelo can eat his punches without going down.

I don’t think Nelo stops him either though. If he does it will be a straight right which Nelo don’t throw as often as he used to. He seems to like hooking more in recent years.

Nelo by decision. Hope an earned one and not by screwing Crawford.

Crawford will give Canelo a lesson in both boxing and wrestling. Bud by stoppage.
