I agree. Could possibly cut him up like a surgeon, by the time it happens if Bud can get used to the drag of the extra muscle. Heights the same and Crawfords got like a 3+ inch reach advantage on Canelo. Canelos legs are already stiff. Charlo's not the same kind of fighter as crawford and he'll get trapped. He can try to use his size and follow the Bivol model but Charlos style is to come to his opponents and pick at them from the outside if they're sluggers and to bully the stylists. I think Charlo might be able to pile up points and walk away with the points victory if he can resist the urge to stay in range too long trying to get his work done. I don't think he can do it and he'll get greedy and then get taken. Charlo could do it with a guy like Castano because Castano wasn't a smart fighter. (quite the overachiever in the first fight, but he doesn't set traps and doesn't have more than one gear) Charlo could see the punches coming -- and even then, he got caught several times and Castano got jobbed on the decision. Canelo is counting on Charlo coming to him, so he can save his legs, trap Charlo and then pin Charlo down when he's hurt.

Crawford's a smart fighter and it would be a chess match, but the way things are going, Bud would be the fresher fighter even if hes older. Bud would probably still have better movement, look to sit on the edge doorstep and see if Canelo takes the bait and over extends himself and gives bud the opportunity to land and step away ...then catch Canelo stepping out like he did Spence. The most beautiful work in the Spence fight was when Spence thought he was going to bulldoze the smaller bud and instead of run like Spence thought he would, Bud stood there unwavering and just aimed... Canelos reflexes would have probably slowed down just a few extra milliseconds, and towards the end of the fight, Canelo would be losing his starch.
