I don’t really remember any confrontation going viral.
I just hope the fight happens this year.
Looking forward to the 2 best ww’s going at it.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 04-20-2022, 01:49 PM.Comment

Really wanting to see this one. Most seem to think Crawford is going to school Spence. I do not agree. Errol is in his 30's and is more accomplished. Better as an amateur and better as a pro welterweight as well. Crawford is elite but so is Spence, this will be a competitive fight. I just happen to think Spence is hungrier.

You haters can hate all you want but Spence has been true to his word. He told Crawford to let me clean up my side of the street first and then we could do this and he is doing just as he promised. The man wants the undisputed crown at welterweight and the only man that is preventing him from doing it is Terence 'Bud' Crawford who currently holds the WBO welterweight title.Comment

Funny how this "let me clean up my side of the street first" talk was only mentioned in the lead up to this fight. Why didn't Spence say this every time he was asked about facing Crawford over the last several years? I'm not saying this wasn't the plan all along. It's a strategy that makes sense. Builds the fight up with Bud to be the biggest event. Gets the fans riled up about why the fight isn't happening (who is ducking who), so maybe that's the reason this "plan" was never vocalized as it should have been.
And isn't building up the fight to it's apex exactly what Keith Thurman wanted to do, which Spence (and his fans) gave Keith grief about? Keith just didn't hold up his end.
Truth be told, Errol and Terence are alpha's. Neither are afraid of each other. And it's going to be one helluva fight where we finally get our answer on who the biggest dog is.
I don't bet, but my figurative $ is on Bud. But, you can't ask for a better 50/50 fight at the highest level than this. We the fans are finally going to win. Should be epic.

This is the biggest fight in boxing right now IMO. I honestly believe it could do MASSIVE numbers and the build up would probably be fun and we may actually see Bud come out of his shell. This one would be personal for both fighters because of how much they have been compared.Comment

As much as I believe they both want it,I'm still unsure whether Crawford is capable of putting his pride to the side and accept hes the"B-side" here. If he isn't offered a substantial gaurantee or something close to 50/50 I can easily see Bud not giving a damn and honestly walking away. Cutting your nose off to spite your face type scenario...Comment
