“2 of the Baddest and Realest”: Fans Join in Harmony as Terence Crawford Pens Special Message While Sharing Picture With Shakur Stevenson

Terence Crawford is one of the greatest modern-day boxers to grace the squared circle. After ‘Bud’ Crawford dismantled his last opponent, Errol Spence Jr., in the ring, he became the first male boxer to hold all major titles in two different weight classes. However, he is not the only boxer rising through the ranks at the speed of light. Recently, ‘Bud’ penned a special message to Shakur Stevenson, another notable name in the boxing scene. 

Shakur ‘Sugar’ Stevenson is set to face Edwin De Los Santos on November 16 in a fight expected to be a total slugfest. However, Shakur had a hard time finding the opponent because it seemed like no one wanted to face this boxer. What’s more, Crawford has faced similar issues because of his dominance in the boxing world. So, when Crawford shared pictures of him and Shakur on Instagram, voices from fans became one to praise the duo. 

Terence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson became the center of attention

Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford wrote, “What’s understood doesn’t need to be explained,” directing the message to Shakur Stevenson alongside a couple of pictures. Since the post went live on Instagram, it has collected over 46K likes and more than 550 comments. If those numbers don’t portray the love and respect fans have for the duo, the comments on the post should. 

One user confidently predicted Crawford would defeat Canelo Alvarez and Shakur would Gervonta Davis if these fighters ever faced each other. “Shakur beats Tank, and Crawford beats Canelo. I said what I said,” wrote the user. It’s worth mentioning that Shakur and Crawford have shown interest in fighting Davis and Canelo, respectively, but nothing has materialized. 

Another user boldly proclaimed that Crawford and Shakur stand out because they are the most authentic and unrelenting boxers. The user commented, “2 of the baddest and realest!” Interestingly, both fighters have achieved unparalleled accolades in their respective weight divisions. 

Someone else confessed his desire to train alongside Terence someday. “I wish I could train with you one day,” commented the user. It’s worth mentioning that Terence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson have sparred each other in the past. Shakur even took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that to his followers.

The next user asserted that most boxers try to avoid fighting Terence and Shakur so as not to suffer a defeat at their hands. “2 Of The Most Ducked Fighters In Boxing History,” one user commented. 

Terence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson are unquestionably among the best in the world right now. Moreover, the responses from the boxing world suggest the dominant impact the boxers have had. But the burning question is – what did you think about Crawford’s message to Shakur?
