“I think it’s a 50-50 shot with Jermell,” said Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford

“Fingers crossed, we can secure a date, and we can get it on. Of course, I feel I can do Errol and Jermell back-to-back. With the proper timeframe, yes, 100%.




Lets see if these PBC fighters will find their pens?!

I would be equally interested in this prospective boxing showdown as well.
I don't Even Equate Crawford-Spence as being on the same level of intrigue as A throwback classic like Leonard-Hearns for example. Crawford-Spence is more styles based than raw intrigue. I think that one will definitively have the other's number.
It'll either be a lame 7th round ref stoppage because Crawford's left or right hook finds the mark on Spence's soft spot(Likely temple area) and Spence gets up before 10, but is too wobbly for the ref's comfort zone, and thus he stops it.....

This, or "Maybe" Spence is able to figure out Crawford, and drags it out to the distance, and wins a disputed split decision.
Or maybe it's ruled a draw, thus mandating a rematch, which may not even generate all that much intrigue at that point.
Meaning basically, maybe they will both figure one another out enough where it just turns into A very non crowd pleasing type of styles matchup.

Call me Crazy all you want, but, I'm actually more and most in favor, in terms of Crawford or Spence, to rather take on either Triple G or Canelo. Or even Andrade.

At this point I wanna see Crawford vs an oncoming train.

F*ck the ducks. The sport don't need 'em.

TC is 35 y/o and Spence is 32 y/o, so I think they would let TC hit 37 y/o. They know that TC is strong, very gritty and very skillful. TC is a risky fighter and the money are not there to worth the risk.

TC should call out/push to get fights with both Charlos @ 154 and 160 lbs. Charlos would look stupid if they would chicken out/decline a fight with a smaller fighter.

Crawford is actually quite a bit smaller than Spence, who is huge for the weight.

Spence often gets the best of Mell when they spar, so don't think Mell would be a tougher fight for Bud. He may have a better chance vs Mell.

If TC can't get Spence, he should try to get Mell. Time is ticking away so fast. In 2023 TC should have a big fight.

Spence is better in every aspect of boxing compared to Jermell Charlo IMO.

Bud had a chance recently to "get" Spence, but walked away. If we're honest with ourselves, it's not hard to figure out.

Probably TC wanted more money to compensate the risk. Spence is a real battle tested dog. But yeah, Spence is the A-side.

Yeah, if there's any fighter you can count on to face a series of major, championship-caliber opponents one right after another, it's definitely Terence Crawford.

indeed TC's resume speaks volumes
