“That is a MISTAKE” Stephen A. Smith breaks down Crawford vs Alvarez 

Yeah you are just a hater nobody wants to see him that's why you must be a Errol Spence fan boy

His career way better then yours that's for sure.

@@glenrunner1169 No career is better without having salvation!

@@orochimarupr and your point is ? His career is still better than yours!

@@glenrunner1169 But is not lmao

Bro nobody’s said he’s a natural 168 he is still a bigger man than Crawford,in stature.Crawford started his career at 135 and Canelo started his career at 147.Canelo stated that 168 is his most comfortable weight class he’s been in .He didn’t campaign at 154 & 160 too long,why bc he grew out the weight classes. You say he’s not a natural 168 but he been all the way up to 175 and competed and even won a belt .So what’s really the point of your statement?🤔

@@athleticmind8502 the point is that any man can be beat and if anyone can beat Canelo, it's Bud. No disrespect to Benavidez. Everyone keeps saying size like that's the end all be all but Crawford hits like a heavyweight. And when Canelo got hit by Bivol, it kept him at range. Crawford KO % in his last 5 fights is stellar. Let's be realistic and not get emotional over our fav fighters. We know you love Clenelo.

​@@athleticmind8502and that 175lb title you're referring to, the one he got by beating Kovalev? The Beterbiev duck belt? I mess with Saul but I'm not dumb deaf or blind.

​​@@luminnous9000that's 🧢 benavidez is the one that can beat canelo not Crawford hes to small & don't have the power to hurt canelo at 168 & you saying he hits like a heavyweight is 💯🧢...

@@vavanpina581 Jared Anderson and Shakur both have said Bud hits like a heavyweight. I know you don't follow boxing lol.

crawford is slightly more skilled than canelo. but canelos combined power and skill will be too much. power with the help of skills is devastating combination

@@lofisifu6879 exactly, outside power and size he dont have anything on crawford. Crawford might have some respectable power up there, but tbh i never really seen canelo rattled or hurt , add the mexican chin, power, and slight less skill could be a long night for crawford. Canelo can get outboxed by many fighters and has til he get the ko.

@@brandoc1849 yeah, it´s impossible especially for a smaller guy to hurt canelo. only ones i could see hurt him are bigger dudes like beterbiev or benavidez with his speed and deadly combinations, but even then you probably need to land at least 5 heavy punches consecutively clean on him to have any effect and that´s the hardest part of it he will never go down from 1 or 2 shots he literally took gggs hardest punch and just shakes his head after

​@@lofisifu6879 never comment on boxing ever again😂

YOU DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT BOXING 🤣🤣😩

Floyd didn't have to hurt him just win rnds which bud can do as well

No. Crawford isn't going to let him walk through him

⁠@@tyronnalston1125bruh cmon now tho Floyd is on another level than Crawford when it comes to winning rounds, Crawford is good don’t get me wrong but he should just stick to his weight class and jus dominate there, can’t risk biting more than he can chew

No it’s not

You’re right. Bud won’t survive where Jermell did.

yup. jermall had the size to sustain the beating. crawford got dropped by kavaliauskas (a 147 pounder), he got hurt by gamboa (a 135 pounder). Jermall himself said Canelo was the 1st guy to truly hurt him. So if a big 154 with a solid chin barely survived the massive beating he took, how would a welterweight who gets hurt by smaller men survive the 168 pounder? Crawford is more skilled but I doubt he's more durable.

Thinking Crawford is unbeatable is a casual thing hing

Yes he can't cuz Mell not on steroids and don't tamper with gloves like Crawfraud does PERIOD

Charlo survived. Bud wouldn’t.

@@marcoslopez127 Charlo went in there to survive and didn't throw anything

@@jw3154 Yeah and Bud is going to throw and get put to sleep. lmao

@@marcoslopez127 Even if that does happen, trying to win is better than just trying to survive

I’d pay for it. It would be a classic.

The casual boxing fan doesn’t know who Charlo is. Crawford vs. Alvarez would make a fortune on PPV. If Crawford loses he makes more money than he ever has if he wins then he is in the Goat conversation.

@@dennygamble4520 Facts! Crawford vs Canelo is the only fight that makes sense for Bud

He not beating Charlo. Come on.

He just beat him tf 😂

That's 🧢 Crawford don't have no power at 168 to keep canelo off him...

@@vavanpina581 I disagree canelo moved up why can’t Crawford

@@Keitho219 canelo moved up gradually taking his time not jumping 3 weight classes all of a sudden that would be a huge mistake on crawfords end...imo

@@vavanpina581 I hear you but Crawford skilled enough to make that jump as long as he puts on the weight the right way

@@Keitho219 Crawford at 36 I don't see a right way he can put on that weight & still perform to the best of his abilities..

🥱🥱🥱🥱 everyone always hating on Canelo. Bet you were rooting hard for him at one point then saw Benavidez and jumped ship

DB will get out class by canelo is a better boxer with skill feet work can cut the ring with power has a iron chin

Crawlback got quiet after he saw the cowardly lion run

Canelo beats the shit outta Crawford, that welter should stay in his weight class unless he wants to get hirt

Does your views change if you realize Crawford walks around at 190? Does it mean anything that Floyd tried to go up to 154 and still barely made 150-152 because he’s in such good shape? Canelo got schooled by Floyd, the difference is that Canelo will have to fight with Crawford. He just got beat up by Floyd.

@@PD-qu8dq floyd beat a 22 year old unexperienced canelo and at a catchweight. This canelo would send floyd into retirmented, there's a reason why floyd picked and choose his oppponents at the right time. Crawford has been outjabbed by a 1legged benavidez jr and he got hurt by a washed up gamboa at the lower weight classes. You crawford fans are delusional, you guys want to see your boy carried out on a stretcher LOL. Crawford is not superman, canelo is not a mediocre fighterr like spence don't get it twisted. 😅

@@AvgJoe-ru8tj canelo would break floyd apart at this weight, he would tear bud into pieces

crawford fought spence at 165 fight night

No he wasn't. When he lost a bit of speed his chin finally got tested. That's all it takes.

but he won’t become champ if he fights canelo stop with the bull

canelo will hurt crawford

I think Crawfords punches 20 in a row can’t hurt Canelo…Canelo needs one good punch and I’m sure Crawford will run in survival mode. Crawford has been dropped before in his weight class..imagine what Canelo can do.

Canelo is the actual counter puncher Crawlback is quiet now He doesnt want to fight Canelo anymore

@@juanocampo2262 You obviously don’t know Bud. He won’t back down from anyone. He wants that fight.

It would be a one sided fight. Crawford can’t hurt Canelo though..Bivol couldn’t do it… what makes you think Crawford can?? Crawford been hurt and dropped and tasted the canvas in his own small division…if those taxi drivers are able to drop Crawford 😂 imagine what would happen when Canelo lands bombs on Crawford…he could end up in the hospital😂😂😂

@@angelarte8103 See this is how I know you did not watch that fight. Bud was never hurt and the man was not credited with a knock down. IMMEDIATELY after Mean Machine landed that punch it pissed Bud off and he proceeded to SAVAGELY beat him down and stopped him. Look any fighter that is a come forward fighter is Taylor made for BUD.

So you're a real one for stating the obvious?

Andrade gonna win.

Bud needs to fight boots and canelo will fight Benavidez, he will make it look easy and Benavidez will realize that having canelo in your face will make you freeze. Canelo will show david that there is levels to this.

Who has Benavides fought worth mentioning?? I’ll wait…that’s what I thought…best one on his resume is Caleb Plant…and I think Canelo beat him in a better fashion…Benavides couldn’t drop Caleb Plant but Canelo did.

Plant was winning the first 6 round before he gas out and still couldent ko him 😂

There are no guarantees in boxing & I'm with you he won't do Crawford the same BUT it would be the same result canelo W...

Thank you. You can’t even compare the two. They are light years apart. I usually watch his takes but this was a joke. He clearly doesn’t understand the nuances of boxing.

Who’s the best man that Crawford has ever defeated?? Crawford has been dropped on the canvas before by non champions…if these lower level competition can touch and drop Crawford…🤔 imagine what Canelo will do to Crawford once he connects 😂😂😂 it’s logical…doesn’t take a genius to figure it out. Best one on his resume is spence 😂😂😂 that’s it. I’m not putting Crawford down just speaking facts.

@@angelarte8103 Spence. Thats holds a lot of weight and Crawford has stopped everybody since he moved up to 147. Not his fault nobody wanted to fight him because of the promoter he was with before.

Exactly and got the nerve to talk bad about max for not knowin basketball like him 🤦🏽‍♂️

Naw y'all need to chill , it could be way worse. Stephen A has lots of respect for the boxing world and community. Let him give his take , I respect it.

@@jseven5362 I mean we can’t stop him from giving his take but we are more then welcome to criticize it just like he criticizes everyone else!

Except Canelo is 180 lbs in the ring. Crawford will barely be 160. He will get curbstomped.

Ur delusional 😂

@@magacop5180 Terence Crawford natural weight is about 180 lbs

@@BoxingFacts-nl2gl I'm not delusional... I really don't care. You either win or not. That's on the both of them.

Delusional fangirl

That was 10 years ago, Canelo is at 168 now and been there for years. Bud trying to go up is a mistake and there's no update if Canelo wins. So ppl can say Bud was too small?

And Canelo struggled to make that 152 He was weak in that ring.

Specially with that rehydration clause

Real boxing fans know Benavidez vs Canelo is the fight to make. Not 147 Crawford jumping up 21 pounds to fight an all time great. He won't win that. Let David Benavidez have his opportunity

Crawford ain't Duran & canelo ain't Barkley totally different styles...

The boxers back then were something else compare to todays boxers. They don’t make them like they used to

Canelo is going to Hearns Bud/Duran lmao

Bud needs to fight boots and canelo will fight Benavidez, he will make it look easy and Benavidez will realize that having canelo in your face will make you freeze. Canelo will show david that there is levels to this.

Because theres a huge list of other boxers also daring to be great

no way bud will beat canelo ,canelo is a monster

Sas trying to sound like JOE ROGAN, MAX, FREDDIE ROACH ALL rolled up into a joint

PERIOD.... RAN.. TERRIFIED of getting knocked out...

Doesn't make sense for Canelo, if Canelo wins ppl will just say Crawford was to small. And basically it will be a discredit fight for Canelo.

@@IAmProdAG Crawford said he won't get close to 50-0 (Mayweather) and he's already 40 wins in. I think he has 3, maybe 4 fights left tops and he can ride out into the sunset with the biggest payday of his career if he fights Canelo and retires. The fight is probably 2 yrs away and they'd fight other ppl in between to build up the storyline.

@@illestrated4191 yea I get you, I think it's a payday. Hell make a smooth maybe 20-30Ms fighting Canelo probably more then all his fights out together. But I just don't see the upside for Canelo

Have you seen Crawford’s strength? I heard he deadlifts like an Offensive lineman. Canelo isn’t going to push him around nor be able to bully Crawford around. Look at the Floyd Fight, Canelo thought he was stronger than Floyd and could bully Floyd around. Just like Spence thought he would be able to push Crawford around and seen that Crawford was literally too strong to be bullied around. And all that doesn’t even take into account the skill he has

@@PD-qu8dq strength against a 154. His power Canelo won't feel. If GGG couldn't buckle Canelo Bud definitely is not. You really tryna compare Errol to Canelo and that's the downfall to these bud Crawford fans. Y'all really think cause he beat a 154 pounder he can go up two weight classes and beat Canelo. It's honestly dumb and makes 0 sense.

Got to get racist wth the Latino fraud. But if it were the other way around some start wanting to cry like a bitch .

Why can’t he win? Go look at Bud workout and do deadlifts he is definitely strong enough for canelo

@@PD-qu8dq It's not about doing deadlifts. This is not wrestling. It's about him being 36 and significantly past his physical prime. Nobody outside the Crawford Camp is calling for this fight. He needs to start defending against his mandatories like Ennis and Rocha and stop dreaming.

@@bengolfs1 Canelo is 33 and Crawford is 36, only three years apart. Floyd was 36 when he fought Canelo and utterly schooled that young man, almost pitched a shut out. But now let’s talk Crawford. The deadlift’s is not just for wrestling, the offensive lineman level deadlift means his base is super strong so Canelo wouldn’t be able to push him around and bully him. Also Crawford has a 4 inch reach advantage, better footwork and more versatility. Don’t forget the ≈78% knockout ratio to Canelo’s 60%. Crawford is more of a dog than Floyd because you have to make Floyd mad in order for him to really get in and throw.

@@PD-qu8dq Here's the truth on Bud. He has to be the most mismanaged fighter in the last 30 years--probably since a prime Shane Mosley. Mosley should have been a PPV star after beating Oscar De La Hoya but instead ruined his career by facing high-risk/low reward guys like Winky and Vernon Forrest (RIP) and losing four times. Bud should have been a PPV star after becoming undisputed at 140. Instead he wasted his time fighting for peanuts in Omaha, then beat up a schoolteacher to win his lightly regarded strap at 147. Then he has the nerve to accuse Bob Arum of racism because he can't sell tickets. Beating a drained, damaged Errol Spence doesn't change any of that. He hasn't fought anyone in the last four/five years outside of a shot Shawn Poter and even more shot UK bums like Khan/Brook. Like I said, he's trying to make-up for lost time by begging Canelo for a fight which he has no chance of winning. He would push Bud around like Charlo.

I Guess dident ser canelo last fight charlo said that he dident see canelo punches

@jjohnson4013 I'm a big Canelo fan... Canelo is too slow for Terence Crawford. Terence will counter Canelo 12 rounds and probably stop Canelo.

David 100% deserves his chance to fight Canelo but I don’t think David is nearly as good as people make him out to be.

Bud needs to fight boots and canelo will fight Benavidez, he will make it look easy and Benavidez will realize that having canelo in your face will make you freeze. Canelo will show david that there is levels to this.

Nah he wont .Canelo beat David n Bud

No. Charlo was right to run. It would be a 2 round fight if he fought.

Bud is strong in 147 lbs!! Bud is not strong in 168 lbs!! Canelo is a legend one of the greatest in these area!!

@tobielucky Sorry, but I don't think Canelo is that guy! People still make excuses about Floyd easily whipping his azz!😂😂😂😂 & Bivol played with him, too!!!

@chadrickhill2129 Crawford is no Mayweather!! Mayweather beat Canelo in 147 lbs!! You have answered your own question!! We are talking in 168lbs!!

Easily? Get off the pipe.

@@MarkoTiano relatively speaking of course, no need for disrespect my friend.

@tonylessmore118 No but to say "easily" like come on, Canelo is a generational talent. There is nothing easy fighting him especially for a dude coming up 3 weight classes. Crawford would get absolutely ran through at 168.

@@MarkoTiano I did say he was very skilled generational may be a stretch but if that's how you feel I can respect that.canelo went up to 168 from 154 why didn't he get ran through? Got beat up at 175 by a more skilled fighter. I don't think bivol won simply because he was bigger.

@tonylessmore118 Look its your opinion and it's all good. I just reflected on that "easily" part, which is not a correct statement. If Canelo is not a generational talent I don't know who is. Let me tell you the reason why Alvarez has a draw or loses is because the guy actually took risks in his career. Canelo started at 140 as a 15 year old kid that moved up to 175, eventually the limit well catch up with you. There is absolutely no way Crawford jumping 3 division from scratch and beating a solidified 168 great. And yes Canelo moved up but step by step, he didn't automatically jump 3 divisions. And Canelo ain't no Spence. Charlo went up 2 divisions and as soon as he got hit he canceled. Terrence is one of my favorite fighters but he's not beating Canelo.

You spoke facts
