    Can this version of 'Canelo' beat Crawford?

    Taking nothing away from Crawford, I thought he won it fair and square. Pre-fight leading up to it, I predicted Crawford would outbox Canelo, even placed a bet on it and won a few hundreds.

    We can agree, Canelo has not looked the same since the Caleb Plant and Dimitry Bivol matches. His last performances have been subpar and he hasn't had a stoppage since then. Age and mileage has been a certain and caught up with him, do you think?

    Would this version of Canelo who fought BJS give Crawford troubles?

    No version of Canelo beats Crawford, he's never been able to deal with slickblack style and he never will, too plodding, too one paced, too stiff, can't hit a moving target.

          TBud 9-3 Past Prime Saul

          a Peak Saul would make it closer I guess

            Crawford is 38 old ex welterweight. The fact Canelo lost to him at 168 is a disgrace.

                Nah, not a chance.

                Way too many miles on the clock at this point, he's been a pro 20 years.

                Add to the fact Crawford is stylistically bad fight for him anyway.

                  I like the version against Jacobs. Canelo was more light on his feet and uses more upper body/head movements. In order to beat Crawford, a fighter must throw more than just one punch at a time, but the version against Jacobs is his best chance.
