#1 P4P and a top 10 Boxer of all time.
Also probably a top-5 boxing win of all time. I underestimated the strategical smarts and Canelo’s lack of ability to dominate a ring. TBud is All-Time

Bud is the better boxer and its not all that close the issue was the size. Usually a guy moving up doesnt have the punch to keep the bigger guy from walking them down and they tend to tire out because of the added weight. Those things were not a problem for Bud and he pretty much dominated the fight. I had it 9 rounds to 3 for Crawford. He looked great as usual. There is talk of a rematch. My money this time around is on Bud to win even more convincingly.
Id personally rather see Bud either retire or drop down to 160lbs and try to become undisputed there to solidify his case as the GOAT in the history of the sport not just his era.

I had 8-4 but yeah similar thoughts. Bud is insane and skill wise is quite clear of Canelo. Not sure what his next move would be, might as well clear out 154 because he obviously can. As I said, this is arguably a top-5 boxing win of all time, and being a 3 division undisputed is such a great legacy. He has nothing left to prove really.
