    Is Crawford an ATG if he retires with no Spence win?

    Crawford is getting old. He’ll be 35 this year. If he decides to call it quits is he an ATG with no Spence win on his resume?

    I don’t see the fight happening. If it is going down, won’t be until 2023, maybe 2024. Since Spence is tied up with Ugas and the step aside challenger for the belt. Crawford will be 36, 37 years old if that’s the case.

    A heavily shop worn Porter would be his best win, that’s not a good thing. Maybe a washed up Khan is his 2nd best win?

    He is definitely a HOFer! I’m optimistic that before the WW is undisputed, Spence will move up. I could be wrong but he is just so big and sucking down to 47 is gonna eventually take a toll

      Well Canelo Alvarez did just say that becoming undisputed was the best year of his life. So if that's the best thing this supposed all time great has done then you have to consider Terence Crawford an all time great because he did it already.

        ATG? no and very much doubt he will get to that stage unless he has a good run of taking names out one by one currently he is only a HOFer resume is paper thin. He keeps saying he doesn't need this Spence fight and Spence seems reluctant too so very much doubt that fight ever gets made.

          I think after Spence beats Ugas the fight happens, too much pressure will be put on both guys and their pride will come into play after losing the excuses they used before unification.. .. well my fingers and pinky toes crossed

            I don't follow bud but nel o has a lot of good wins plus undisputed. Nel o did it in a space of short time. I'm assuming bud strung it along over years and he's done hardly anything else. Definitely not over 4 divisions.
            So if people downplay nel o it's a case of just how much do you deny bud in comparison

              Yeah i hope so as well man would love to see that fight, hopefully Spence is still the goods a few question marks around Spences head. If they are both on form that will be an amazing fight heres hoping dude.

                    No but he'll be a Hall of Famer. However, if he becomes a two time multi-divisional undisputed champion after defeating Erroll Spence, Jr then yes he would be considered an all-time great.
