I mean it took Crawford almost the full 12 rounds to beat a 1 legged Jose Benavidez Jr. and you guys think he can beat Canelo? I honestly don’t even think he has a shot at beating other 168 contenders like Munguia, Plant or Morell let alone Canelo!
Canelo is a natural 160 pounder. He is small for 168 but his skill, IQ and experience make him beat bigger fighters. So that way he doesn't have to drain himselfs like most boxers do to fight in smaller divisions. Canelo stops crawford if they fight
i agree he does stop crawford, but also, he could make 160 but i think he as of right now in his career is staying at 168 because he feels his best at that weight at his age now, i don't think he's small for 168, he's a good size at 168, fought couple times at 175 and was even considering going up to cruiser at one point to fight makabu, he's not as big as david benavidez or jamie munguia, but he's fairly big at 168 with his natural frame
Arguably, but we could see Crawford demolish Canelo bad. The thing that makes most boxing fans utter clueless casuals when it comes to Canelo is they think he's a great powerful fighter with an amazing chin... He ain't. Canelo is a great defensive fighter who always makes sense to never get hurt, but that's about it. His chin is nothing special (Miguel Cotto's brother can attest to that when he had Canelo out on his feet) and his offense is low level, so low in fact he will actively punch his opponents on their arms and shoulders to weaken them.... You're supposed to use your arms and shoulders for defense to begin with. Basically if you're legit it's a tough ask for Canelo to just "dominate you", as we saw in the Bivol fight as overrated as Bivol is. Crawford for his part is as tall as Canelo but has a nearly 4 inches longer reach. And unlike the other "champions" that Canelo beat, Crawford is as legit as they come. And honestly Canelo never beat anybody at Crawford's level when it comes skill wise, especially considering Crawford is elite both at orthodox and at southpaw.
people aren't talking about how bud will look going into the late rounds, putting all that weight on for a fight will surely effect his stamina, 21 pounds, that's 3 weight classes, he's 35 and fights at 147, and jumping to 168, not even gradually moving up to that weight just jumping all up in that weight just for the canelo fight
@@HawkTalksBoxing He wouldn't actually put on 21 pounds at all. To begin with he cuts to make 147, he would simply have to come in smaller at 168, which is an advantage. If he's going to "box" Canelo's head off, why would he need that extra weight? People today underestimate the advantage of being "smaller" than your opponent. That's the whole reason all them casuals made Fury an actual favorite vs Usyk.
@@MartialArtsNk fury vs usyk fight is a different situation, there's no shot canelo is moving down in weight, he will want to stay at 168, bud will have to put a lot of weight on even if it's a catch weight
@@HawkTalksBoxing Also there is EVERY shot Canelo is going down to 160 to fight Crawford. I don't know why, but Canelo is hell bent on ducking Benavidez. Thus we can't count out him fighting Crawford at 160.
No Canelo Alvarez does not want to face Terence Crawford Canelo Alvarez may as well go on and retire could have been remembered as a great fighter he always run from the tough fights he's spoiling his own legacy
theirs a reason crawford only has 1 elite fighter in his resume and hasnt fought above 147 to 154. if he was so great why hasnt he fought @ 160 168 175 which canelo already did and went undisputed . plus crawford is taller and longer reach than canelo
Absolutely brilliant fight. Styles make fights. Bud will be too cleaver for the hooking champion that is Canello. He won’t get involved in toe to toe action with him.
I think Bud's power will carry to 168, but will it affect Canelo? Bud fanboys might think it will, but remember that not even GGG-- the most devastating puncher could not put a dent on Saul. Bud will not be able to hurt Canelo and Saul will start walking Bud down. I see a KO by Saul, because Bud's pride gets hurt when they hurt him and goes after his opponent to get payback, and that's what will get him KO'ed. If Bud decides to get on his bicycle, he will loose like Jermell-- with his shield broken.
Dominate Crawford? I highly doubt that. If this fight comes to fruition, a tough fight for both fighters. The biggest mistake Alvarez could make is to fight Bud with that mindset. Canelo certainly did not "dominate" Mayweather and has always struggled with slick fighters. One thing to be clear on is Canelo getting "schooled" by May had nothing to do with a catch weight. Timing, distance, and neutralizing Canelo's power shots was key. Crawford, right now, is acclimating to the higher weight classes with his debut at 154lbs in August. If Bud effectively dominates that division, then he is one step closer to Canelo. Bud is a different sort of animal and don't think of "power" as "hitting harder" than your opponent. Think more about timing, controlling distance, and accuracy. Bud is a MASTER at this. On a side note, I do find it interesting that Bud can deadlift over 400lbs. So, maybe some of those strength attributes may come into play against a "heavier" "not Bigger" fighter??? IDK. We'll see what happens.
I think people take titles too seriously, if you look at my other boxing videos I always title videos with this style, you shouldn't take that much from a title but rather what I actually said in the video, crawford is more than qualified to compete with canelo, it wouldn't be like he doesn't belong in the ring with him, I'm just seclusively talking about the weight, I hate it when people cherry pick one tiny thing I said and ignore all my other talking points
First of all.. Bud is NOT a natural 147 anymore. He been fighting too light for years now. I feel his real weight now is 168. He been starving his self to fight all the smoke that was smaller but he's really heavier than that. I feel his power and IQ will carry him to a unanimous decision against a older Canelo
that might be true, at max 154 is a good weight for crawford to fight at rn, but 168 is a bit much, also yeah canelo is an older guy now but crawford is actually older than canelo so they're even as far as youth goes
@@HawkTalksBoxing Naw B, Crawford is NOT 25yrs old no more. He 36 5'8 and his walk around weight is 168 with no training. He can most definitely handle coming in at that weight against Canelo no problem. He just has to maintain his speed. Canelo about to get dealt with.
Age? Think of it this way, Crawford is the Tom Brady of Boxing. He is that good and is NOT going to age overnight like so many of his haters are hoping for. His training regimen, discipline, strong mentality, and belief in himself will keep him sharp and young well into his 40's. Do you remember what happened to a young Felix Trinidad against a 40 year old Bernard Hopkins?
Crawford gone whoop that boy This his 2nd best black fighter he going to fight The first one was Mayweather Bud Crawford will be the 2nd hardest opponent
@@HawkTalksBoxing Just answer the question and stop coping, or were you just talking to hear yourself talk? You are probably just repeating what you heard someone else say!
There's nothing to support Bud's power won't carry over. The evidence shows it likely will. Bud's power was still there moving from 135 to 140 n it seems he got more powerful from 140 to 147. Canelo isn't that much bigger than Bud. He said he's about 180 n Bud walks around at 175-180 himself. Besides that power won't dictate the fight.
I'm not talking about walk around weight I'm talking about fight weight, there's a difference, bud's body is used to 147, now he's having a fight at 154 to test the waters, that's fine, but not gradually and slowly moving up in weight and just fighting at 168 cold turkey just to fight canelo who's been fighting at that weight for year's is the problem
Also the size is OVERRATED, just like Usyk vs Fury was. There isn't some big size advantage for Canelo here. Yes Canelo is bigger than Crawford, more dense for sure. But it isn't that big, Canelo is a middleweight. He fought up at super middleweight vs visibly bigger guys because that's one of the fake bum divisions with wimps as champions (a super or junior division so to say). And in terms of dimensions as mentioned Crawford is bigger than Canelo, has longer arms and knows how to use that reach. I wouldn't put my house on Crawford beating him or anything, and I would prefer Crawford vs Jaron Ennis to see who the real best welterweight is, but I don't have Canelo as some favorite here.
usyk vs fury is 2 different fighter's from different weight classes with different styles, crawford can't box like usyk, if he could maybe I'd change my pick
@@HawkTalksBoxing Crawford can't box like Usyk? I mean... Not sure about that. Crawford can box way better than Usyk. He ain't got the heart and the cardio of Usyk, but in terms of his power punching technique he's quite above Usyk.
@@HawkTalksBoxing Nor does it needs to be. He wasn't so powerful against Spence because he has "power", nor was Usyk so powerful vs Fury cause he has "power". The reason so much damage was done is because clean precise shots were landed. Lets be clear, if Crawford can manage to chin Canelo, he's putting him out. Power at lower weight classes is the most overrated thing in history.
@@HawkTalksBoxing And also Canelo isn't really bigger. Fury was taller and WAY longer than Usyk, which gave Usyk a lot of trouble. Canelo is the same height, but 4 inches less reach than Crawford. Again I ain't picking Crawford to win, but he isn't fighting a real big 168 pounder, he would be fighting a 160 pounder in Canelo instead. Heck Canelo is even smaller than most 160 pounders.
