This fight needs to be at 160 with some kind of rehydration clause for Bud to have a chance. Making this at 168 is just absurd imo. I don't wanna see a legend like Crawford get brain damaged and beat fighting a guy the size he should never be fighting. Reminder that Floyd fought a much smaller and inexperienced Canelo at a catchweight of 152 pounds.
Alvarez weighed 153,5 in the fight before Mayweather. A 1.5 pound difference.
But you want the money fighter in Canelo to drop 8 pounds to face an opponent?
That makes zero sense.
If Crawford wants this fight it needs to be at the full 168. Canelo is the A side in a big way. He is not giving up any advantages and should not
I agree, a full on 100%.
Canelo can't be going on any crazy crash diets, especially at this point in time.
He's no spring chicken anymore either. Not to mention, he's almost at 70 pro bouts. Many a tough bout in recent times as well.
People criticizing him for not fighting Benavidez need to think with proper perspective.
Canelo is 5'8 with a 70" reach. Benevidez is taller than Bivol, and probably stronger and more powerful than Bivol as well.
I'm sure that Canelo has a good knowledge of boxing history.
Enough to know that Bad Style bouts have always taken place, and they very rarely end well for the losing side.
Canelo and Crawford are both proverbial Businessman Boxers, who have both earned they're share of boxing who they choose to box and definitely yes to Canelo having the right to say Gtfoh to anyone who says that he Needs to box Crawford at 160 instead of 168, because, Wahhh, that's unfair to Bud.
Bud is more than Happy to be getting this bout granted onto him. Regardless of what weight class they box at.
He's The new Canelo Lottery Sweepstakes choice..!!
He knows all too Darn Well how big of a Bag he's getting from this bout.
