All due respect to Crawford, it was a great win but this is the first time he has stepped up.....

You are a casual, obviously.

First time he stepped up was against Ricky Burns, who was making his 5th title defense at 135 after winning a title and defending it 3 times at 130. After the Crawford fight he moved up to 140 and won another title, defended it once, then lost it in a unification fight.

Then he fought Yuriorkis Gamboa who was 23-0, a WBA interim lightweight titlist, and a former unified WBA/IBF super featherweight titlist.

Then he fought Raymundo Beltran in a fight for the vacant lineal and Ring world championship. Beltran was literally the consensus best challenger in the weight division at the time. Beltran later won the WBO lightweight title.

His next step up was against Viktor Postol. Postol was undefeated, the reigning WBC super lightweight titlist, coming off a KO win over Lucas Matthysse, and it was a unification for the WBO/WBC/Ring/lineal world super lightweight championship.

Then he blasted through Indongo, Horn, Benavidez, Khan, Kavaliauskas, and Brook before stepping up again against Shawn Porter.

Then he beat Avanesyan and finally stepped up again against Spence.

Crawford is a top fighter but is not liked by many like Pacquiao Leonard etc. because Terence comes off as a mean guy like Tank, Hopkins & others. Street fighters who could have gone the other way in life but took up boxing instead.

He never comes off as mean. Hes just a humble and quiet. Real killers move in silence

It’s true.

People considered Postol a 50-50 fight and he dominated. Only now is it looked back on hindsight as some kind of weak win when really it’s not at all.

He chased Pacquaio for years, and they didn’t want it. No fault of his. That would have been his ticket to super stardom had he won which I think he would have.

I must admit that I was wrong. Bud impressed and surprised the living Hell out of me. I never expected or saw that ass whooping coming. He has definitely made a believer and fan out of me!

If they were the same size; I would pick him over Saul Canelo Alvarez. However, of course we know that Ginger would never take that fight because he only cherrypicks opponents who he feels he can defeat like the Super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo.

I guarantee you that his numbers won't surpass or even be up to par with the Crawford/Spence fight. It's because fans are slowly tuning him out. They are no longer into watching his mismatches anymore.

Another casual fan (and no doubt a spence fan). Did he not step up against Brook, porter, mean machine burns. Considering the rest weren't allowed fight him. He got his big fish and slaughtered him what more do u want
