One week after one of the biggest, and most debated, fights of the year, boxing delivered a flurry of activity on Saturday with three major titles changing hands by the end of the night.

Former three division champion Shane Mosley is slightly leaning in the direction of Terence Crawford in the upcoming undisputed showdown with Errol Spence. On July 29th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the two undefeated welterweights will collide for the WBC, IBF, WBA, WBO world titles in the main event of a Showtime Pay-Per-View card.

For the better part of the past half-decade, both Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford have brazenly claimed that they're the welterweight division's leading man. Those thoughts and opinions, of course, could only be settled in one violent way...squaring off in the ring.

Now that their fascinating fight finally has been made, Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. have tried to put their welterweight showdown in what they believe is its proper historical context.

Canelo Alvarez did his best to stop the runaway notion that he’s a shot fighter. But after being forced to go the full 12 rounds with John Ryder in his most recent showing, Alvarez’s detractors have garnered even more ammunition.

The long-discussed welterweight showdown between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. is seemingly closer than ever to becoming a done deal. Their representatives have been negotiating terms for their 147-pound title unification fight for months. Their much-anticipated clash, which has tentatively been scheduled for July 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, will become a reality if both boxers sign their contracts.

Ryan Garcia stood alone during his post-fight presser following his defeat against Gervonta Davis. Seemingly apoplectic and in stunned disbelief that Davis was the better man, the 24-year-old vowed to not only return a better fighter but to also make sweeping changes.

Errol Spence Jr. is a man of few words but there are certain principles that he lives by. In the world of boxing, protracted stints on the sidelines have prompted even the sport's most elite fighters to take a relatively soft touch before jumping into the thick of things. By and large, those "tune-ups" are then followed by bigger and more fan-pleasing bouts.

Unified welterweight champion Errol Spence has warned undisputed super middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez to stay away from light heavyweight champions Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev.
