So it looks like there may potentially be a Canelo vs Crawford fight later this year. Thoughts brehs?

Very risky for Bud imo but money talks and the Saudi's got a lot of that.

Crawford pitches Canelo fight: P4P No. 1 versus ‘the No. 1 money man’

A Crawford vs. Canelo superfight is a no-brainer to ‘Bud,’ who shared his thoughts on Alvarez’s decision win over Munguia on Saturday night.

A big fight....an easy win for Canelo.

Give us Canelo vs Benavidez and Ennis vs Bud instead of this shyt.

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Crawford gets koed by 10. Useless fight.

 

[desjardins]

Not a fan of it but both dudes seem like they looking to retire soon so fukk it I guess. If he doesn't care about retiring with his 0 then it's kind of low risk huge reward for Crawfod since everyone will expect him to lose but a win will put him in All Time Great convos. Not sure what Canelo gets out of it except for another "peydey"

The Saudi's gonna make them an offer they can't refuse, so it'll be worth the risk for Bud. But yeah, Cabelo just gonna be too big for him.

Big fight on paper, massive if Bud gets the victory, but very little gain on Canelo's part.

 

[patscorpio]

im not really interested..it would get crazy eyes on the different stanbases and fandoms in boxing and most likely sell but thats a hell of a jump

canelo needs to fight benavidez first

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

I think you guys are underselling Bud.

I could easily see him outboxing Canelo the same way Floyd did.

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

ehhhh....no!

 

[Adonis]

Crawford would be going up two weight classes. I don't see this ending any other way than a stoppage for Canelo.

 

[reservoirdogs]

Can’t blame Bud for it but not feeling it

Assuming he can keep him honest but can we? He’s just moving up to 154. Mell Charlo who’s a big 154er couldn’t make a dent in Canelo.
Grantes, Bud is a better fighter than Mell but still not sure if his power will be enough even if he catches Canelo clean off-guard

Unnecessary fight for Bud. He'd be throwing away what is left of his prime.

How often are non-black fighters expected to take on these challenges by the way? I remember Golovkin was a division below Ward. There was no real pressure to make the fight happen. Black fighters are expected to climb the divisions until they get licked.

 

[GunRanger]

Theres no way Bud has the size. Whats it going to be, a catchweight? Canelo isnt cutting down crazy anymore either

Are you kidding? Crawford wants to do it..nobody is forcing him to go up in weight when most ppl want to fight Boots at 147.

Whereas we have Monster whose greatness is downplayed and told he has to move up to a "big boy" division like 130 or 135 and face Tank
