Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr

[TitoFan]

I agree. Also I don't get what his beef is about Spence and Crawford "holding all the belts."

He seems a bit out of touch there. A cursory look at the belt holders in all other divisions will show that in most divisions the belts are all held by either one or two fighters. So I don't get his complaint.

I sort of doubt he wants to put himself out there against the young, wrecking ball in Boots Ennis. At least not without a title on the line.

But no... he needs to re-earn his shot. He's been the model of inactivity since 2016... and he ain't winning too many fans that way.

Errol Spence Jr will likely go toe-to-toe with Terence Crawford in October for an undisputed bout for the welterweight championship.

Both boxers have a 100% record heading into a potential fight, so something would have to give. Spence has a 28-0-0 record with Crawford boasting a 38-0-0 record.

Spence holds the WBC, IBF, WBA welterweight belts with Crawford offering up the WBO belt if the undisputed clash does go ahead in a few months.

It’s certainly going to be an intriguing fight should it happen, with both fighters away from the ring for a while, it’s been almost a year since Crawford’s last fight and half a year for Spence.

An all American clash would see two southpaws go at it in an intriguing battle, both fighters are regarded as some of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world right now, so the entire boxing community will have their eyes on this one.

Canelo Alvarez, who is in training for a third fight with Gennady Golovkin in September, was asked about the potential undisputed welterweight clash and seemed to be looking forward to it like the rest of us.

He was asked for his thoughts on the fight, going on to claim: “It’s going to be a really good fight, but I think, Spence is a really good fighter, but I think Crawford is.”

After that he was asked for this opinion on Crawford’s style and whether or not he would keep his southpaw stance: “He can switch that, I think he’s better.”

The interviewer finished off with a simple question, ‘Do you still think you favour Spence?’ To which Canelo replied: “No no, Crawford!”

It’s hard to argue with Canelo on the quality of the fight, Crawford has defended his WBO belt five times since winning it back in June 2018, most recently beating Shawn Porter with a KO in round 10 back in November.

On the other hand, Spence defended his WBC and IBF belts when he beat Yordenis Ugas to claim the WBA belt and put him just one fight away from the undisputed tag in the welterweight division.

We don’t know who will win the fight or when it will be, but with two of the best pound-for-pound fighters about, we know it won’t be one you’ll want to miss! Especially when both fighters have good KO percentages.

From his 38 wins, Crawford has 29 knockouts which comes in at 76%, whilst Spence has 22 from his 28 wins which comes in at 78%, could we see a knockout in this eagerly anticipated bout?

Steady as we go hope they stay on course or breakdowns in negotiations, early on I'm pulling for and favoring Spence

It’s done, the PBC just has other fights to announce before Spence v Crawford takes all the air out of the room. Like I said in the beginning, it should be announced in the first few days of July

Starting to sound like Crawford will price himself out. I’ve been a Crawford apologist because he has done a lot more than others who people just let get away with anything. But if Crawford doesn’t make this fight I will turn on him same as I did GGG when he kept making crap fights.

Hoping they are just building drama but time is running out before Spence’s mandatory is ordered

ERROL SPENCE JR and Terence Crawford are closing in on a November undisputed welterweight super-fight in Las Vegas.

The pair of unbeaten champions have shared the top of the division for the past four years.

But differing TV networks and promotional stables stood in the way of one of boxing's most fascinating fights.

That was until Crawford, 34, in November walked out on Bob Arum and the legendary promoter's Top Rank banner.

It allowed the three-division champ to negotiate with Spence's Premier Boxing Champions backers as a free agent.

And according to ESPN, a deal is close to being struck with no obstacles in the way of reaching an agreement.

Crawford, a pound-for-pound star, beat Shawn Porter, 34, in 11 rounds eight months ago, but has not returned since.

Whereas Spence, 32, in April took ten rounds to beat Cuban Yordenis Ugas, 36, into submission.

That night, he also added the WBA belt to the WBC and IBF titles he took into the unification.

It leaves Crawford's WBO strap as the only missing piece in Spence's collection, making the bout a rare undisputed fight.

The Texan was recently probed on how talks are developing for the all-American unification.

And Spence told Fight Hub: “It’s closer now than it’s ever been. If it don’t happen now, it’s never going to happen.

“It’s way closer than it used to be. I think it’s definitely going to happen.”
