Terence "Bud" Crawford can beat Canelo Álvarez by leveraging his superior speed, footwork, and ring IQ. Despite Canelo’s size and power, Crawford’s adaptability, stance switching, and counterpunching ability present significant challenges. Fighters like Mayweather and Bivol have exposed Canelo’s struggles with elusive, high-IQ boxers—an area where Crawford excels. Key tactics include lateral movement to frustrate Canelo, sharp counterpunching to exploit defensive gaps, and controlling the pace with in-and-out attacks. Bomac’s game plan would likely focus on maintaining distance, exploiting Canelo’s stamina issues, and capitalizing in later rounds. Crawford’s superior conditioning, defensive mastery, and mental toughness could see him outpoint Canelo over 12 rounds by staying disciplined and avoiding unnecessary exchanges.
