And if I'm not mistaken, he is a underdog in the Spence fight (correct me if I'm wrong), and although he won that fight, this is a very different scenario for him He will be facing one of the best super middleweight champion in Canelo. That is a tall order even for a elite boxer like Crawford.
No, Crawford was actually a slight favorite in the Spence fight.. Spence was at +125. But this time, Crawford is the underdog, with Canelo sitting at around -180.. that shows the level of respect oddsmakers still have for Canelo. even though a lot of people believe Crawford has a real shot, the odds still favor Canelo.
It’s really hard to take down someone like Canelo, but I still remember early in his career when Mayweather made him look like an amateur. If Crawford can somehow pull off that kind of performance then he has a real chance to win.
