Crawford Not Bothered By Excuses for Spence: ‘Every Fight There’s An Excuse’



I said, ‘Man, listen, I don’t ever want to fight Errol coming off the accident of that magnitude,” Crawford said. “I want him to get back right, get back to 100% and then I want to fight him at his best.’ That way nobody can say anything. Errol Spence came back and he fought Danny Garcia (in 2020) and he looked good. He didn’t look 100% but he looked good though. I was there live at that fight and I remember getting into it with a couple of his family members. …He didn’t look 100%. He didn’t look great. And they were like, ‘He’s gonna look great against you.’ Yeah, give him some time. Let him get his feet wet.

“When he fought Ugas he looked spectacular. He looked strong. He did what he had to do. Me and Ugas got a different style. After the Ugas fight I was like, ‘OK, now let’s get this fight underway.’ Not only does it mean more for both of us because we the only two champions and we the top two welterweights in the division and everybody wants to see it but now we can fight for all the marbles and undisputed. Everything played out.

I said, “Can’t nobody say, ‘Oh, the car accident, the eye injury,’” Crawford added. “They can’t use that. I’m pretty sure a lot of people was trying to use that but you got to look at the body of work after the car accident, after the eye injury. There was no excuses.

“The eye injury was when he was training to fight Pacquiao. He fought Ugas afte
r the eye injury and he fought Danny Garcia and Ugas after the car accident. The last little car accident (last December) that he got into … it wasn’t no injuries sustained with that car accident. I don’t see why people will sit there and try to blame the accident for me beating him.”





Bud dropping nothing but FACTS:banderas:

I hate Floyd interviews I don’t even know why he does them. All he talks about is his money he don’t even give insight on boxing or nothing. And he seems like a hater low key he made sense with Spence but won’t go deeper on the topic.
Bern kind of mad or slick at Spence ever since he said he would beat Floyd and said Floyd would never cone out of retirement to fight him. Lol.

:mjlol: comment section got me in stitches. Floyd is the master of dodging questions :dead:

He lowkey said Spence ain't whooping Terence even at 154lbs and so he's better off fighting at 160lbs :mjpls:


Yeah I get Spence staying at 147 too long but he was definitely throwing a shot at Canelo too. He stayed neutral in this interview but he has also said Bud is the P4P before so who knows.

People always talking about Spence's speech being slurred. But he sounded perfectly fine in this interview before the fight. And many others. just think dude be lazy with his southern accent at times. And his new teeth definitely affected his speech as well. But you can tell his enunciation is perfectly fine when he tries.




Spence excuse makers watching this video like

No Floyd was saying for a lack of better words wtf is Spences team doing still having him fight at 147 for a decade.

He was trying to be careful with his words due to his relationship with both.

Him saying Spence is killing himself discredits Buds win, and him picking sides publicly can be a slippery slope being on where he sits on the business side + his relationship with the fights (hence the if you are doing business with PBC you are doing business with Floyd).


Didn't Spence make a Twitter post years back saying "I only fight for Al Haymon and only answer to him" kind of alluding to that he's his own man ?
Not sure how tight his relationship is with Floyd

Then your statement doesn’t make sense or it was rhetorical. You should’ve just said if Mell hurts him he will finish him. Somehow you either think Bud’s chin is weaker at higher weight, or Mell hits harder than anyone Bud has faced. No evidence of either plus Mell isn’t as fast or as good a boxer as Gamboa was at 135.

Exactly. And Crawford already faced another big powerful puncher and neutralized him

If you are talking about what i think, it was when Errol signed a managment deal with some company and pbc haters were implying Spence was not messing with Al
