I have never heard of him

Did he not reject this guy a few months ago because he was unworthy nobody and then he got stripped by IBF? I guess he is scraping the bottom of the barrel now.

Excellent match up legacy fight for 2x undisputed. Fighting an actual 168lber.

The only bad thing is his next fight in September is going to be a waste of time mismatch vs a welterweight who had one fight at super welterweight and fights once per year. But the "fans" have hyped up that mismatch so it will now happen

Scull won his belt off Shishkin and that should of never happened
Just disappointed as usual with the so-called face of boxing

I'm not going to knock Canelo because at this point of his career his legacy is secure. This is just a money grab plain and simple. Scull and Crawford are easy wins Crawford barely got past Madrimov at 154 and he is gonna go up to 168, two weight classes, and fight a guy way better than Madrimov? I have to then think May 2026 will be Charlo and finish with Surace.

I think you're underestimating how good Madrimov is.
