However, the "welterweight" was favourite, all so easy with hindsight, isn't it.

And WBO champions stepping up become mandatory, that's their rules. It would be fascinating to see how the career of multi-division champs like Crawford had played out without benefiting from it.

Even oddsmakers make mistakes, and this one, who had favored Ali before the fight, admitted he had a made a mistake and Ali had no business being in there with the much, much bigger Munguia. A sentiment shared by much of the boxing world.
