    boxing is incredibly forgiving towards losses taken when past prime going onto washed
    Agreed...Crawford made him look OLD in there and his reflexes started to wane as the fight went on. It's a shame because I would've loved to have seen Crawford face PRIME versions of Spence & Canelo but we shouldn't discredit his victory. He deserves to be called p4p #1.

      This thread is a troll

      many had the fight wide decision but Saul was still competitive despite the fact and hurt TBud thrice

      TBud is a great boxer who turned out to be closer in size to Saul than originally thought

      to me embarrassing losses would be

      Buff Guy Joshua Dubois. There was a sense that there was nothing buff could do

      Buff Guy Joshua Ruiz. Was winning then gets knocked out due to dumb decision tactic

      In both instances they were decent contenders who weren’t good

      Haye Wlad was humiliating. Haye made graphics of himself beheading Wlad and couldn’t back any of it up on fight night

      Fighting Scared regularly getting on his knees as if to submit and apologize by blowing the champ

        Hmm pretty much. I normally spend $100 minimum a bet but I was lacking so much faith in Canelo I only wanted to use pocket change.

          Testing positive for PED’s, delaying a rematch after a terrible draw that was a loss is what was embarrassing.
          Losing to someone who fought at 147 2 fights ago and had a meh performance against a 154lber is embarrassing as ****. Floyd and Bivol were not embarrassing imo.

            2 years ago.

            Nelo jumped up to LHW the same year he beat Jacobs at MW

              Nelo has been fighting professionally since 15
              Had a 1000000000% more difficult road to get to where he is now than Bud.
              If Nelo had Bud's list of opps, he'd be looking fresh, too.

                I think 116-12 or 115-113 were the correct scorecards...in other words, all 3 judges got it RIGHT (for once).

                Canelo struggles with fighter's with good movement as Mayweather, Bivol, Crawford & Lara all have EXCELLENT feet. He's also had issues with southpaws in the past (many believe that Lara won their fight) and Bud's decision to fight the entire fight left-handed didn't help matter's either.

                However, it was no one-sided ass whooping or embarrassing defeat as some people are trying to claim. He lost a close fight to the p4p #1 and there's NO shame in that. However, I don't think a rematch would pan out any differently as Crawford was able to handle his power whereas flat-footed Canelo was unable to handle his movement.

                  100%...Canelo's had 26 more pro fights and faced far more ELITE opposition compared to Crawford who'd only fought Spence prior to their fight. In fact, Canelo even called him out on it. In comparison, Canelo has faced Golovkin (thrice), Mayweather, Bivol, Kovalev, Mosley, Cotto, Lara etc.

                  Some people might argue that Mosley, Kovalev etc. were at the end of their career's when he fought them but so was Spence who Crawford effectively retired.

                    Canelo cashed out. At this point, I don't think Canelo cares about winning anymore as long as he's getting paid.

                      It’s never embarrassing losing to someone better than you.
