Khan showed rhe way to Crawford

[Jacobson]

How? By getting knocked out cold in 6?

Dumbest thread I’ve seen in a while lol.

Crawford's not studying Khan, he's studying the Mayweather match.

The problem here is that Crawford is not a boxer like Mayweather is, he's more of an aggressive counter puncher, their styles are totally different.

Plus, Bud's old and fighting a guy almost 3 weight classes apart.

Exactly.

Why is everybody still pretending Crawfoird will fight Canelo at 154?

Because most boxing fans are gullible, particularly the casual fans.

Khan did really well in that fight and hindsight is 20/20 but the chances of Khan surviving 36 minutes in the ring with Canelo without getting chinned? Respectfully, it's 0. Literally 0%.

Khan's chin was actually holding up pretty well for half the fight until Canelo landed a bazooka with his full body weight behind it. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how Crawford handles Canelo's power because although he has a pretty SOLID chin, we've seen him do the stanky leg against Gamboa and get dropped by Kava before.

Khan was showing Canelo how to fight Crawford. Crawford needed low blows to slow Khan down once he shot his load

The fight you speak of was 11 years ago vs Gamboa and he still took him apart by the 9th round
Kava was 6 years ago
What’s your point ???
Ali got dropped 4 times , care to explain

[MulaKO]

Lmao you people expecting Bud to fight like Floyd did are the most ignorant casual fans in the house
This might be Bud’s last fight BUT now he’s going to try and portray another fighter

Gamboa wobbled him a few times at Lightweight whereas Kava dropped him at Welterweight. Therefore, it remains to be seen how Crawford's chin holds up 2 weight divisions higher than he's currently fighting at against Canelo who can definitely punch. Crawford also seemed a little gun-shy against Madrimov after feeling the full weight of his punches. Also, Ali was a career Heavyweight whereas Crawford will be fighting in his fifth weight class so it's NOT a like-for-like comparison.

I’ll give you that I, I had the same impression of him being gun shy against Madrimov but for me it wasn’t it wasn’t the full weight of the punches but more like Madri’s style
You could tell Bud was bothered by it and his footwork has never been his forte
The styles contrasted and that imo , is what threw him off and worried about gettting countered and dropped
Kava gave Bud all kinds of problems until he figured him out late in the fight
That knockdown was Bud moving right towards it

Tbh I think it was a combination of BOTH...Bud definitely seemed 'uncomfortable' with some of Madrimov's punches but was also confused by his awkward amateur style as you already pointed out. Also, if you look at the CompuBox stats, Crawford only landed 11 punches more overall. Therefore, it remains to be seen how he handles Canelo's power 2 weight divisions HIGHER plus Canelo is also an ELITE fighter unlike Madrimov who has faced every style possible and come out on top for the most part. Still, I expect Crawford to be his toughest test to date since Bivol.
