    He is a good fighter who took risks.

    Now that he lost let’s see if the other top super middleweights take risks.

      I had it 8-4 to Crawford, clear win. I was on the fence with this one but always leaned towards a points win for Crawford. I could see how Crawford would be able to outbox canelo but wasn't sure if Canelo would be able to impose himself on bud at this stage of his career - he's been on the decline for the last few years. Regardless of that, it was a great win for Crawford and I'm happy he has a name like Canelo on his record. He's always had an underrated resume and now, no one can say "he hasn't beat anyone" anymore.

        It was kind of boring and tactical. Crawford basically moved and jabbed with Canelo trying to pin him down.

          Anyone that gave Canelo more than three rounds is making themselves feel better. Crawford outboxed Canelo every round, landed the far cleaner shots, he had Canelo frickin hurt and ready to quit.

          I told people a decade ago that Bud was special and that he was going to go down as an all time great. He could have competed in any era. He has a sky high boxing IQ, always goes in to hurt his opponent and he has sneaky power and incredible feet and punch placement.

          We witnessed one of the all time greats in Crawford and so few appreciated him. Great to see him get his due tonight.

            Stop yo, you crazy! Crawford is not better that the 4Kings.

            Crawford is better than Hagle, yes, but I don't consider Hagler a member of the 4kings since he was mostly a MW.

            Crawford is equal to Mayweather.

              I doubt it because he was slurping on Crawford before and throughout the whole fight. He's become even more hyperbolic in recent years.

                Canelo has really regressed. His signature body movement from Bivol fight is not there anymore. He is a walking punching bag now.

                  Pretty much, he has never really been able to cut off the ring effectively, been on the decline for a while. While he is still a good fighter, he was prime for the plucking which is why he avoided benavidez.

                    I know you want to go somewhere and cry because a black fighter beat your hero.

                    Canelo ducked his mandatory Benavidez for three years and defended his belts twice against fighters moving up two weight classes. That's not "taking risk". Crawford is great and a more skilled fighter than Canelo which is why the cherry pick backfired. But in no way was this a "risk taking" fight for Canelo who had all of the advantages. That why he was the favorite.

                      Canelo actually is healthier now than he has been in years since his surgery.

                      Bud just beat the **** out of him because he is a much better fighter, an all timer.
