Many admirers are excited for him to step back into the ring. But there hasn’t been much progress in deciding Terence Crawford’s next opponents as the unified welterweight champion. Thus, the question is still open.
This morning, Boxing Kingdom asked a preposterous question: “Who would you like to see Terence Crawford fight next?” On July 29 of last year, the Nebraskan southpaw emerged victorious over Errol Spence Jr. to become the first undisputed champion in two divisions for men. Since then, a number of names and suggestions have surfaced. The world champion has a good number of options to choose from. What about the fans, though? Which opponent would they rather see take on Terence Crawford?
Shortly after beating Spence Jr., “Bud” declared that Canelo Alvarez and Jermall Charlo were his targets. But the alternatives were further limited once the former lost to the Mexican superstar. Remember that fighting Alvarez requires you to climb three divisions up, which is an enormous amount of work. He cleared up all the doubts regarding the likelihood of a fight between Gervonta Davis and himself. Errol Spence Jr. has activated the rematch clause by September.
The IBF chose to give up Terence Crawford’s title later in November, changing his status from undisputed champion to unified champion. The action came about as a result of “Bud” being unable to face IBF mandatory challenger Jaron Ennis.
As spectators watched, there were notable shifts at the top of the welterweight division. That’s not the case; they produced no conclusive results. Regarding fans, however, they seem confident about a few of prospects being worthwhile.
There were some noticeable changes at the top of the welterweight class while fans watched. That is untrue; they did not yield any definite findings. Fans, on the other hand, appear to be optimistic that certain prospects will be valuable.
Similarly, for this follower as well, once ‘Boots’ has finished a few significant fights, Canelo Alvarez follows the winner of the Thurman-Tszyu bout.
But it needs to be Jaron Ennis for this user. However, they hinted that they were afraid Terence Crawford might not put up much of a fight this year.
Then, Spence Jr.’s rematch was voted highest for this follower. If not, a “Boot’s clash” or a heavier weight battle with Tim Tszyu also proved effective.
To clear the air, Spence should rematch Tim, or he may step up and face him.
However, it appears that some people had a completely different opinion. Similar to this user, who feels that “Bud” ought to give up on fighting and eventually call it quits.
Naturally, a few couldn’t help but poke fun at the champion’s hairstyle after seeing his picture.
Always, fans will demand more from their heroes. But Terence Crawford’s age should also be taken into consideration. This year is the champion’s 37th birthday. Therefore, the possibilities may decrease as one ages. For that reason, he needs to act quickly and decisively, whatever action he takes.
