    TBud is a multi-dimensional fighter

    As we saw with Saul fight he knows when to focus on boxing the opponent VS brawling with them

    he would not go brawling with manny from start to finish

    soften him up with jabs, straights, and counters in the first half

    go in for the kill beyond round 6

      Why wasn't TBud confidence in a fight against Pacquiao at 147 then? Why did TBud wanted the fight at 140? But against Canelo, he had no problem going up 3 weight classes. That tells you everything you need to know on how he feels about Pacquiao.

        Canelo was slow as shit!! Low output. Throws one punch at a time, slow on his feet. 147 Pacquiao is a different animal!

          Lot of fans are late to the party on Bud's greatness. I recognized it back when he was at 135. All the skills were there. I shook my head at all the casuals calling him Crawfish and mocking him as overrated when they thought Spence would school him.

          Yes he came up two weight classes but he was draining himself by over 30 pounds to make 147 and 154. He's actually a big WW/JMW. He was the older man in the ring by 2 years but Canelo had 25 more fights of wear and tear on him. He appeared to age almost overnight as he had no answer for Bud's movement and combinations. Bud beat a better version of Canelo than Floyd did. Despite Floyd having a deeper resume Crawford is the better head to head fighter. He ranks considerably higher on an all-time list.

            because manny and his trainer ran around for years advertising that manny is "really" a 135 pounder

            147 manny got CLAPPED by counterpuncher JUAN 4 HIRE.

            TBud is way better than Juan.

            T adjusts FASTER and has one punch ko power in BOTH hands

              You know what really irks me?

              If you try to rewatch the Crawford/Canelo broadcast on Netflix, it’s edited and they took out Bud’s entrance music and slapped GENERIC Mexican music over it.

              I kid you not. I was stoked to sit down after everyone fell asleep so I could rewatch the whole main event (with ringwalks) and they took the music out.

              That pissed me off. I know I can watch it on YouTube, but damn, Netflix…

              Damn copyright issues…

                I think that was intentional?

                TBud came out with a mexican musical instrument to troll Saul

                Same as Floyd wearing the taco hat for the Oscar fight

                  Cap! Pacquiao was a full fledged Welterweight. No way he could have made 135 anymore by the time TBud's name was being thrown around. When the fight was presented to TBud, TBud and his trainer wanted it to be at 140! Why wasn't TBud and his trainer confidence to take the fight at 147 like they did against Canelo? Because 147 Pacquiao was fast, strong, etc. This is not the same as slow as Canelo.

                      To bad TBud wasn't confidence enough.
