Comments Thread For: Chavez: Canelo is Pound-For-Pound Best, But Crawford More Complete

[Carpe Diem]

There is no evidence to suggest Crawford is more complete, none whatsoever. Canelo has displayed a wider arsenal in the ring but I wouldn't say Canelo is more complete either, even though there is more evidence to suggest he is, what I'd say is that Crawford has not faced the level of opposition to show us what he has, he has not had to adjust the way Canelo has had to. I've yet to see an inside game from Crawford

^^^ This. Crawford is like a step below from Andre Ward. Ward wasn’t in the same tier with the likes of Mayweather and Jones in terms of looking extraordinary all-around, but he was good enough. Crawford is in the same category, but to a lesser extent. He has a lot of fundamental flaws, but he gets away with them against low caliber opponents.

your arguments for Canelo winning have went from facial bruising, to body language while dismissing actual punches landed. Lol. OK. At 36 yrs old, ggg was the busier, more active fighter who landed more punches while Canelo fought in sports trying to steal rounds. If that works for you, then fine, but for nearly everyone live at the fight, they didn't think it was enough to give the judges favorite son the win, and understandably so.

My argument was never facial bruising. It was a response to your argument. You made it seem that ggg's jabs mattered more than Canelo's Power shots. Landing a clean power shot > landing a clean jab. That is where we disagree and that is where I will agree to disagree. You judge a fight different than I do. I judge based on punch effectiveness where you judge on output. To each their own.
