1. Who do you think will win ?

2. Who do you want to win ?
 
We have weight classes for a reason. It's really difficult to fight up.
 
I actually have

1. Bud

2. Bud

Same.

The move up is tough.

Crawford from weigh ins actually looks natural at the weight, it’s just a matter of knowing how to fight with the extra pounds and if he can keep his speed advantage.

Everything slows down a little with the extra weight.

Also, he’s 167. Tomorrow, I will wager he will still be 167. Canelo will be 175+

It’ll be interesting.
 
If Crawford can protect his body and avoid Canelo's left hook and over top right, kid's got a shot!
 
Bud’s the best winner in boxing right now (game was, IQ, etc) but I think canelo is there best all around boxer in the game, and fights heavier. As @Fishy says, they won’t be the same weight tomorrow.

My heart says Crawford but mind says Canelo is too skilled defensively and powerful offensively to let a lighter Crawford beat him.
 
Crawford is the better boxer but its difficult to come up 21lbs in 2 years and fight a tank like Canelo. Bud has been my guy since 2014 but like several other guys that moved up to fight for the big payday vs Canelo Bud is going to realize size matters. Canelo by KO at some point.
As an aside i remember when Amir KHan moved up to fight Canelo some time after the fight in an interview he said something to the effect of he knew he was in trouble when he caught Canelo with a flush shot full power which he had hurt and even dropped guys with but Canelo walked right through it unfazed. Bud could have a similar experience as he is not elusive enough to avoid Canelos shots all night so he better hit hard enough to make Canelo think twice when he comes in. If he dont its a long night for my guy Bud. I think Bud is winning the fight when he gets stopped.
 
I looked them up. Apparently they are both boxers.

Consider this a Public Service Announcement for those who also had no idea what this post was about.

This is also a Netflix fight. But it will be much better than the previous one with Tyson vs Paul !

I haven’t watched the big time fight in years, but free and starting at nine I might have to check it out.

Actual ring walk is expected to be about 11pm. But this is typical.
 
I want Crawford but think Canelo takes it by decision. Crawford will have success early and I think Canelo just takes over in the middle and late rounds.

I do not like that Crawford came in close to the 168 lb. limit. Makes me think he will want to trade shots with Canelo, who has an iron chin.
 
I'll go with Crawford because that was the name of the old middle school bully I couldn't outrun. He was a very good bully.

#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.
 
That was an insane display of boxing ability. Crawford made Canelo look like he wanted to give up because he was so frustrated that there was nothing he could do. The same Canelo who is not far removed from being p4p king and is normally a skilled defender and counterpuncher.

Would’ve been very interesting to see Bud fight Mayweather in their primes.
