Errol Spence Has No Doubt Who Wins A Prime Floyd Mayweather vs Terence Crawford Fight

Errol Spence Jr is one of few men to have shared a ring with both Floyd Mayweather Jr and Terence Crawford.

Mayweather and Crawford are both considered the best of their generation and happened to compete at the same weight – welterweight.

Spence, although he never faced Mayweather in a pro fight, sparred with ‘TBE’ during his run at 147 and the catchweight victory over Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, with onlookers describing the gym session as a fight and nothing less.

The former 147lb unified champion’s last fight was over a year ago when he was handed his first career defeat in devastating fashion by Crawford. It was billed as a 50/50 contest before the first bell, but ‘Bud’ dominated from the get go and stopped Spence in the ninth round after three knockdowns.

Despite being outclassed by Crawford that night, when asked by Fight Hype who was the better fighter, Spence said there was a ‘big difference’ with Mayweather potentially being the best of all time.

“It’s a big difference. Floyd is just different. I feel like he’s the best fighter… I don’t know about all time, he might be the best fighter of all time and if not he’s close. Two or three, not by far.

There’s different things that Floyd does. He was a lot older when I sparred him and there are just certain things he does that are real tricky. We’d get in the clinch and he was like squeezing my nose so I couldn’t breathe and stuff like that. Veteran, all-time type stuff. Mentally, by far I feel like he’s the best.”

Spence himself is tipped to make his return at the end of the year against WBC super-welterweight champion Sebastian Fundora.

Go and show your best in the ring” Errol Spence Jr gets told to stop waiting around and step into ring by former world champion rival

While some of the biggest names in boxing bide their time and wait to announce their next moves, many peoples’ pick as the pound-for-pound king is set to fight in a week’s time. Terence Crawford will be debuting at 154 pounds, challenging Israil Madrimov for his WBA super welterweight title.

While Crawford gets ready to fight, the opponent he last faced is struggling to make a decision on his future. Errol Spence Jr. has been eyeing a fight against light middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora, but Fundora is waiting to see if he can get a fight with Crawford first.

Is Errol Spence letting his prime slip away?

While Spence stays patient, Shawn Porter is imploring him to get off the couch and into the ring.

It’s kind of a now-or-never situation to me: Get back in the ring now or you’re flirting with never getting back in the ring… If I was to advise him, I’d say: Take the fight now. Compartmentalize as much as you can, allow your legal people to deal with issues, focus on Fundora and make the best of that experience… He’s got to get back in the ring.

Rematch: Under One Major Condition,Terence Crawford Willing To Rematch Errol Spence Jr

Terence Crawford scored a career-defining victory over Errol Spence Jr last year.

After a frustratingly long wait, fans witnessed the two top dogs at 147 come together in Las Vegas on July 29.

The ninth round stoppage saw ‘Bud’ put an end to a long-running welterweight supremacy debate, secure all four belts in the division and become the first male fighter to be undisputed in two weight classes.

A rematch – which was agreed in the contract at the loser’s discretion – seemed unnecessary to most given the nature of the win, and time ran out for Spence to activate it. That does not mean it won’t happen further down the line.

Speaking to Brian Mazique, Crawford laid out the conditions for the pair to run it back – namely both having a belt at 154.

“The possibility is there. He’s fighting Fundora for his title, I’m fighting for a title. There’s the possibility. He win his fight, God willin’. I win my fight, God willin’. There’s a possibility right there.

Despite his goal of continuing to move up to super-middleweight to challenge Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, he has expressed an interest in becoming undisputed at 154 if he can do it quickly. Spence may just be one of two obstacles to getting there.
