Now we all see why Canelo ducked Benavidez

[Haka]

Even fighters in medium level MMA events show more grit and fighting spirit than what Canelo shows when he gets higher double digit millions upfront.

Like we all didn't know. 2nd half of the fight woulda have been UGLY.

While Crawford is much better than David, David's volume would likely overwhelm Canelo.

This is the only guy Canelo has clearly avoided. Hopefully he goes up to challenge for David’s “title”.

crawford is better than david p4p

at 168 crawford is not better than david

davids underrated defense and crazy work rate would really dominate canelo and david doesnt have to be as cautious as crawford with him being a natural 168lber and an assumed better chin at the weight

[elfag]

canelo has been artificially extending his career for years now with hand picked fights. anyone calling him the best, the champ, the king are sorely mistaken. he forfeited that claim when he ducked benavidez.

thats pretty much true. he had a great run in 2021 but he was never the same after that. idk if its just the stress of fighting 4 times in a 12 month period or from moving up for the bivol battering but he wasnt as good when he returned and he openly ducked bena who had high output, reach, defense and fast legs. His team and him KNEW that style was all wrong. He didnt want the loss at 168, with Bivol atleast he had the excuse that it was from moving up

Crawford is better than David at any weight.

That said, I would agree David would be more physical and offensive and put Canelo in more danger of a KO loss.

i feel like there is nothing left for canelo except maybe creating another canelo weight division like 165 or 172? he can dominate that made up division

[shenmue]

Canelo doesn't throw enough punches anymore to beat a guy like big dave. He's declined for sure and after all those fights it shouldn't be a surprise.

[Ry92]

Canelo is only cherry picking he did it vs skull, bivol and bu. As for bud he's obviously dodging boots @ 147 154 said no interest last night styles makes fights boots style req g and size makes a tough night for bud. Every boxer gas that 1 guy they dodge cause the style risk and pay

there's a reason why Terence wants to go down to 160

he knows Saul was a one off

stylistic disadvantage, past prime, and in his 4th weight division so Terence wasn't undersized

still the next best win in boxing history after Roberto-Sugar Leonard

Yeah there are no exciting fights left. Even if he beat Crawford who would he even fight?

I think that's why tueki made this fight in the first place, if he didn't have Crawford yesterday he would be fighting another scull or berlanga like who cares about those fights
