Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Really Don't Think It'll Damage My Legacy If Spence Fight Doesn't Happen

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Terence Crawford wants to fight Errol Spence Jr. in 2023, but the unbeaten WBO welterweight champion still doesn't feel like he needs to fight Spence to solidify his legacy.

This fight not happening will definitely impact their legacy in a negative way. What a disgraceful era of boxing that we are living in.

Duckford, you are kidding yourself, without the Spence fight you haven't got a legacy, this is how you are delusional. Now go and fight boots and Ortiz

[Body the jab]

I think it will harm his legacy, although it would damage Spence's legacy more - but the fact is, they both need each other. But I'm bored of this entire situation and I don't care whose fault it is - and it's not like the fans will ever find out exactly why it's not happening.

The IBF should just mandate Boots, and the WBO should mandate Ortiz.

I like Bud Crawford, but if you fast forward 10, 20, and 30 years from now, Bud is not going to have a "legacy". No one except boxing historians will know who he is. Ali is not remembered because he fought La Mar Clark or Tony Esperti, or even Duke Sabadong. He is remembered because he fought Frazier, Foreman, and a murderer's row of the top heavyweights of his generation. The same can be said for Ray Leonard, Hagler, Ray Robinson, and all the other greats. Bud needs at least one legacy-defining fight to be remembered. Win or lose, with his resume Bud will not be remembered at all in a few years. That will be unfortunate because he is a once-in-a-generation talent who failed to challenge himself.

And there you have it folks, the “great” bud Crawford speaks.

[Bro. Steve]

His legacy will be fighting the best opponents that he knew he could beat. Feh.

[Greenfield02]

What legacy?.....

[STREET CLEANER]

What an example. Leonard and Pryor never happened? Leonard fought Hearns, Hagler, Duran etc and Pryor fought Arguello. Any of those opponents a legions above what Bud has fought.

He is delusional and getting that amount of money to fight a nobody has made him worse.

[Silence]

Duckford you don't have a legacy to worry about.
