Canelo was bigger, active, fighting frequently with some named fighters. Spence was plagued with a car accident, and eye injury, layoff and alcoholism.

I think it was Spence Jr. in terms of making a Pacquiao Mayweather type matchup happen when both guys were still looking great in their fights. I know Spence had his car accident, but I'm not entirely sure they took as much out of him as people want to say. He was still winning impressively. Yeah, he didn't KO Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia or Porter, but who has?
The fans were going nuts for years to see them two go at it and when it finally came together, it had the feeling of an epic matchup going down. Especially with Eminem walking out Bud and him wearing the fishing trunks. Was dope.
Canelo fight kind of came out of nowhere and nobody had asked for it prior to it becoming a reality. It did and then the buzz began if it was too much for Crawford.
In saying that however, as nice of a win it was for Crawford, it wasn't as exciting as the Spence win. It was a match being asked forever and seeing it come together and go down gave it a different vibe on fight night.Comment

Also, if he was such this good and bigger fighter then why did he lose to a good and smaller one? Who was a natural 135 lbs fighter? Here’s the deal. The guy’s a bum.
His career was both overhyped and overrated. He is a shame and disgrace to not only Mexico but to all of the great legendary Mexican fighters who’ve come before him.
In addition, he is a disgrace to all La Razans and Chicanos everywhere. For losing on Mexican Independence Day like that to a much smaller American black fighter whom he cherry-picked.Last edited by champion4ever; 09-25-2025, 04:05 AM.Comment

When you get right down to it. Nelo wasn’t shit to begin with. If he was a such a good and bigger fighter then by all means what made him so; Please explain?

All of you said that Bud was too small, there are weight divisions for a reason, Canelo was going to knock him out and he wouldn’t be able to take punches from a naturally larger and stronger man.
However, he proved all of you doubters and haters wrong. I was the only voice of reason in this joint. I rocked very hard for Crawford that he was going to defeat Canelo because he was simply the better fighter and y’all thought that I was crazy.
Canelo only took the fight because he thought Crawford would be an easy challenger due to his smaller size but at the end of the day. Skills pay the bills.
