    I agree he hasn’t but neither has Toney beaten a fighter anywhere near the talent and ability of Canelo in his prime It goes both ways.

    And even the top guys Toney did beat, he didn’t beat any of them clearly or convincingly to tell me he could do anything like that to a prime Canelo.

    That said, it’s a 50/50 fight IMO (prime vs prime)

      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.
      I know you’re rubbing your little weewee and creaming your pants just because a black fighter won but the question still stands: now that Canelo lost will the other top 168 lbers take more risks and face each other more often?

        It seemed to be a combination of him trying to be too profound rather than ask concise focused questions and perhaps some sort of illness causing him to hesitate. It was very uncomfortable.

          I don't even know if Canelo could beat Eubanks or Nunn in his prime. His best prime win was a robbery over GGG at 160. I think all three beats canelo at 168lbs.

            I can't see him moving back down either. His fight at 154 last year was a means to an end and I believe that happened yesterday. Him fighting at 154 for a belt made it halfway believable that he could move up two more weight classes to pursue a Canelo clash.

            At best I could see him entertaining a Thurman fight at 54 but Keith would have to pull off a miracle against Fundora next month to bring any interest in a Bud fight or give Keith some type of leverage. At best, Keith will probably face Spence sometime next year since that fight was made a couple of years ago then scrapped for a Bud/Spence fight.

                    Not seeing the relevance to the point.
