Terence Crawford is a man confident in his abilities.
Despite his undisputed welterweight bout with Errol Spence Jr being billed a 50/50 by many, ‘Bud’ Crawford was adamant he would show the world a win with relative ease. He did just that.
It was yet another crowning moment in a campaign full of them, and the 36-year-old from Omaha was branded the best on the planet by plenty of fans, fellow fighters and analysts.
Another man hovering around the top of that list, although competing weights below, is Gervonta Davis.
When it was put to by Charlamagne Tha God on The Breakfast Club that ‘Tank’ – currently WBA Champion at 135 – had once said he would knock him out at welterweight, ‘Bud’ Crawford said ‘there are levels.’
However unrealistic the bout is, it’s something Crawford says he would consider because of the money it would generate.
The gap in weight is instead getting bigger, with Crawford making his 154 debut on August 3 against undefeated WBA Champion Israil Madrimov. Should he win, he’s made it clear that he wants to move up even further to super-middleweight and face undisputed champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
Davis has entered talks for a lightweight unification against Ukraine’s Vasiliy Lomachenko.
