It appears like Terence Crawford is having a hard time letting bygones be bygones. Crawford, the undisputed welterweight champion, has sparked yet another debate with his recent comments about his rival, Errol Spence Jr. In a sport where feuds and rivalries often take center stage, Crawford’s words have once again ignited the flames of competition.

After their electrifying Undefeated, Undisputed, Unprecedented match in July, Terence cannot seem to be letting their long-time rivalry go, in spite of delivering a winning 9th-round knockout. Fans have noticed that the win seems to be going straight to Crawford’s head.

Terence Crawford: A Bold Assertion

In a statement put out to Travis Hartman, Crawford divulges the details of why he thinks he is the greatest. This statement, ingeniously bold, shows the confidence he has about himself. He said you cannot compare the two pugilists, as he is a Hall Of Famer, and Spence isn’t. He wants the world to know that, in his eyes, he stands head and shoulders above his rival. This kind of confidence can serve as a driving force, pushing athletes to push their limits and strive for greatness.

According to Crawford’s statement, “Errol Spence is a great fighter, but there’s no comparison, I’m already going to the Hall of Fame.

However Crawford does not stop there, he draws parallels between the achievements he has made during his active career, and if he were to retire, he’d have achieved what every boxer strives for, the entry to the Hall of Fame.
