What happens?

Unfortunately Canelo has robbed us of that.

Crawford is great, Charlo isn't even on a par with Spence.

Charlo said he would come back down after the Canelo fight. Now we know why, he will try and avenge the loss of his stablemate and beat Crawford.

Charlo may be too big for him.

I think Bud is too much for Charlo. He is just too good. Charlo won’t be the same after the Canelo fight- I see that one being a beat down by Canelo.

Easier said than done. How often do guys going up 2 weights, 14lbs , One Stone, come back down and do as well as they were doing? Not often.

Ideally and historically this would be the next step for Bud moving up. Beat the very best, fully unified and then face the same one step up in Charlo. Today however we get a mutated Charlo vs Canelo event leaving 154 in limbo. Personally I don’t see Charlo returning and think the belts will fracture. Charlo can tease it all he wants, but he made a financial decision to avoid a mandatory he already signed with and says all you need to know about his long term intent. I don’t think Crawford is signed long term with pbc but he has a decision to make.

Maybe Crawford will follow the example and say coax Haney to jump up two divisions. They can slap a big blinding banner of “undisputed vs undisputed” for some fans and sell it as Haney being a naturally big lightweight. Same weight jump as Charlo v Canelo, same amount of belts involved and arguably Haney more active and recently in the brighter spotlight than Charlo to accompany new fresh earned stardom of Crawford...and yes it would be equally absurd as Canelo-Charlo . * Tongue planted firmly in cheek

Who knows? It sounds odd. I think Crawford outboxes Charlo... But who knows?
