Styles make fights. Nobody will beat Bud by jumping on him and trading blows. He’s just better than everyone out there at the game of inches. His reflexes, speed and timing are unparalleled. I knew he would do it. Canelo played right into his hands.

I would find it interesting to see him fight either Mbilli or Martinez if there is anything left after their war.
Both threw way more than twice as much as Canelo. Not saying they would win but they would put more pressure on Bud.

So long ago when I was a young g man, I was the same height as Mike Tyson but I could easily make 135 & even 130 at a push.

My point is that height/weight isn't automatically an advantage unless you make it your advantage. Play to your strengths and accommodate your weaknesses.

Look at Nick Ball, 5'2" and competing at feather. Knows how to use his (lack of) height to his advantage. Forces opponents to adjust to him rather than vica versa.
