Eric Raskin ponders which of Terence Crawford's crowning victories takes the cake: his violent evisceration of Errol Spence or masterful outboxing of Saul "Canelo" Alvarez?

I say Canelo. With Errol Spence, Jr it was more down the middle 50/50 but with Canelo; No one excluding myself of course gave Terence Crawford a half a chance of winning.
Both fans and experts alike were saying: He was too small, there are weight divisions for a reason, Canelo was going to knock him out due to his superior size advantage.
He won’t be able to absorb Canelo’s punching power. That’s why this was his career defining win.
This is simple IMO. Canelo was the far more quality win but the way Bud dismantled Errol along with the years and years of **** talking between fans and the story that that fight brought with it made it the more career defining and sweeter victory. This is that whole "marinating" thing we see with fighters these days. They let us imagine and talk **** for years about a potential clash and then give it to us. This does matter unfortunately and Crawford and Canelo simply lacked that variable in the equation. But make no mistake about it Bud's victory over Canelo was the one that permanently placed him in that GOAT conversation.
With Spemce, he beat tf out of Spence and stopped that fraud. There was a reason Al Gayman and PBC blackballed and avoided him. Yall Bud haters can say whatever about the car accident, but yall werent sayin sh.it after Spence beat up Ugas b4 the Bud fight.
With Ginger, Bud moved up and embarrassed that clown.
Id vote the Ginger fight cause not many gave Bud a chance.
