Good assessment, it's very hard for a boxer to move up in weight class and beat the champion in that division, maybe except for some legendary boxers like Manny Pacquaio himself. And again, even if we know how good Crawford is, this is a new territory for him.
Just like Pacman, Crawford was doubted too, though in Pacman’s case, it was because of his size. Crawford, on the other hand, has the height and frame, but I’m still not fully confident he can take down someone as strong as Canelo. Of course, I could be wrong and that’s exactly why there’s a betting line for this fight. We place our bets, and we’ll see who's right and who's not when the final bell rings.
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.
This clearly different as its a different weight class..
