Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford - Netflix

[TheIronMike]

He didn't want to get knocked out.

****** Logic by him and his camp.....Chance of getting TKO'd by a younger bigger man = no way! vs Chance of getting outboxed by an older, smaller fighter = lets do it baby!

After crashing and burning out last night, I just caught the replay.

Crawford looked incredible, but at the same time, Canelo looked awful. Crawford looked like he should have been fighting at SMW from the beginning. Canelo looked like he should have capped himself at Welter. I lost count of how many times Saul was off balance or standing on one leg because of Crawford's surprise power.

Whether it was an ATG performance or the stars were just rightly aligned, two things are at least certain: Canelo is boring, and when Crawford broke down into tears in the ring, I had a knot in my throat.

IronDanHamza Your boy canelo wouldnt beat James Toney.

Canelo’s not “my boy” but are we talking 35 year old Canelo vs Prime James Toney? Because if so I agree with you.

But prime vs prime I’m not so sure.

[IronDanHamza]

Facts. It was IronDanHamza lol.

What was me?

Why do you think just because Crawford beat Canelo that Toney would also?

Toney and Crawford are polar opposites as fighters.

Just watched it, wow pretty onesided win by Crawford only gave Canelo a couple rds, official scores were kind of generous to him.

Canelo hasn't beaten any elite fighter in their prime anywhere near the talent of James Toney or even fat lazy toney lol.

Come on what?

Elaborate.

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)

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.

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?
