Who do you have? Crawford v Alvarez?

[ykdadamaja]

I didn't see a poll thread on the fight so I took it upon myself to start one. Who do you have and why?

Terence "Bud" Crawford v Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. I'm hearing some wild shit out there. I saw somewhere that Canelo will win by KO before 3. lol.... I also heard Crawford winning by a wide UD. Both are ridiculous scenarios. No way Canelo ko's Crawford in under 3 rounds... Canelo probably won't start to land punches until the 5th or 6th round when he finds his rhythm and Crawford starts to move closer in the fight.

I also don't see Crawford winning by a wide UD. Anything over 115-111 in any way unless someone got seriously injured in this fight and wasn't throwing any punches at all for several rounds, then the judges are fixed. We all know Crawford is probably not going to get a split decision either...

So, again, what are your takes?

Canelo too big and strong for Crawford. It’s absurd that this match has been made. No one has asked for it. A rich Saudi man has paid to manufacture it.

Saying all that I would love Bud to pull off the upset. He would become a legend.

I’m going out on a limb on this one. I’ve got Crawford . I don’t see him KO’ing Canelo, but I see him winning this .
The only doubt I have is that Crawford has to move up a few weights at his age. But Canelo is on the slide , no doubt about that.
People are making way too much of the Size factor in my book. I don’t even reckon there’s much of a difference in size.
Canelo is a natural MW that is roided up and Bud is a massive WW , more of a LMW. Crawford is taller , longer reach, a better boxer, and freakishly strong for his size.
I’m all in on Crawford.

I want to say Crawford too, but not sure how I believe it is possible for him. I don't see him winning a UD vs Canelo. The judges just won't give him that. And do I see him stopping Canelo? I don't see that either, but that is more possible than a UD. Only chance I see is if Crawford makes Canelo quit, and that is the likely scenario Crawford can win but do you see Canelo quitting?
