3. Good call!

Charlo went the distance but it was clearly Canelo's fight.

Now, Alvarez said he wants Bud next. Crawford already said he's prepared to jump weight classes to face Canelo at super middleweight. If you are Bud's manager, do you advise him to take that BIG money fight, or do you encourage him to stick closer to his own natural weight?

If I recall correctly, Canelo moved up weight classes one at a time over years. He was methodical about it. As talented as he is, if Crawford packs on that much weight immediately, Canelo has to be favored for all of the reasons you listed above versus Charlo, no?

Hope everything is okay with your son.
