Canelo TKO.

Love Bud but he couldn’t even knock out Madrimov at 154 and has not been very active since the Spence fight. Adding Muscle doesn’t equal power. If anything, carrying all that weight might slow his hand speed and reflexes. Canelo has been a natural super middle weight for a while now, and wasn’t even knocked down against a light HW in Bivol.

I would be absolutely shocked if he won this fight.Weight classes exist for a reason and jumping up 2 divisions, where he’s had zero experience is asking a bit too much.

But then again, I’ve been wrong before.

Crawford is a true ATG.
He's in that Mayweather/Pacquiao tier imo.

Crawford is the best boxer of the last 10 years. He looked so comfortable at 168.

I am glad I didn’t put money on this fight.

I can’t argue with this.

Crawford is incredible. Total domination. Easily an all-time great.

Crawford, Inoue and Usyk have separated themselves so far away from everyone else in the last 10 years.

I’m giving Crawford a slight edge over Usyk after what he did tonight.

Inoue is a great champ. But lacks the signature wins that Usyk and Crawford have had in recent memory.

Hypothetical matchup:

Crawford vs Andre Ward at 168, who wins?
