The hardest part of explaining Crawford to younger people, as we get older, is gonna be how impossibly calm he was in the ring, when considered against how heated the last few years of boxing discourse has been, and his place in that discourse. People are gonna forget how much air Crawford vs Spence took up for half a decade. They're gonna watch the fights, and it'll be obvious he's a killer - especially bc, like, now he's unified two belts, it has changed how normal people discuss him and his legacy. But that pre-fight interview with Jim Gray, with Bud wrapping his own hands, Jim asking him about the scale of the moment, and if he had butterflies, and Bud going 'of course there are.'? To be able to just...casually admit that, on national television, 'yeah, I'm nervous' while sounding anything but? I wont say I knew it was over, but the mastery of emotion he has shown in and around fighting is like no one I have ever seen. And then he walks out being announced as the next undisputed welter by Eminem, over *that* song? I'm not sure any of that is gonna translate when kids are watching this a decade from now, arguing about where Crawford ranks - just like I know I am always missing something looking back at the fighters I didnt get to see live. Glad I caught this one.

Well said Teddy. It feels so good to hear Crawford finally getting the recognition he has deserved for so long. I have watched this man's greatness for many years and thought to myself that nobody is going to beat this man. I'm not sure Floyd could of beaten Crawford in his prime because of the power Crawford has. Floyd was always so much more athletic than his opponents that helped give Floyd the advantage, but with Crawford's athleticism it would take away Floyds advantage and thats why i might have to lean towards Crawford because of his power. I haven't seen that kind of power in the Welterweight division, i think ever!! There's a video out there on youtube somewhere, i wish i would of saved it, but Crawford is having a hit off with another boxer that is tall and thin and when its Buds turn, he hits that heavy bag like i've never seen anybody hit a heavy bag. He just destroys it, i sat there and was almost in disbelief, because i've never seen anybody move a heavy bag the way Crawford was. The look on his face was like he was possessed. It was one of the most impressive displays of power that i've seen in boxing period!! I still think alot of people don't realize that Crawford's power is on another level. His strength also surprises every opponent he fights. Bud was a good wrestler in his younger days which allows him to have body control over his opponents when they clench. Another thing i think is great about Crawford is how humble he is and the amount of respect he shows the other fighter when the fight is over. I swear i seen a couple of times that Bud pulled back on Spence, when he probably could of knocked him out earlier. If Bud trains the way he did for the Spence fight in the future, nobody will be Bud. The only way Crawford gets beat is by himself or his age starts to slow him down. He is definately an all time great.

This is what happens to a boxer that runs into another boxer far more superior in skills

I can live to see one hundred. No one tells the story and teach Boxing like Mr. Teddy Atlas. He is a Jewel and The Best whoever done it.

Spence was completely dominated. Bud jabbed spence every time ES tried to jab him, knew how to position himself and destroyed ES when he tried to shoulder bump him and connect on the reset. Bud is a better fighter in everyway! Now Charlo! Well let's just say Mr. "We Lions" would be a sleeping lion after that fight. Terence Bud Crawford is the Pound for Pound Champion!

Crawford is tacticallly and technicallly at the same level Mayweather was.. i know it doesnt look like he really outclasses his opponents like mayweather did, but somehow, he does it every time.

Crawfords fencepost jab and short hooks to the temples scrambled Spences brain, turned Spence into a zombie by the fourth round. Crawford is so relaxed in the pocket. By the third round, Spence was flinching and throwing off his back foot trying to avoid the counter, which killed his power.

Why Crawford is already one of the greats for me: 1. Teddy said it: cold-stone, fearless. At the same time, he works to avoid getting punched. He sure isn't afraid to get punched. It's a matter of business - boxing business and just being smart. 2. Boxing IQ and the ability to adjust mid-fight. Jeff Horn round 3 for example. 3. Can take a punch - hard to tell for sure on this, but I'm looking at the Kavaliauskas punch and Crawford's recovery. You might say he's missing the X factor somewhat - ticket salesman and all that. Fair enough, but that doesn't win fights.

It was tough to watch that fight, Crawford was boxing the man's ears off and made it look real easy.

Spence was utterly and completely flustered and out of his depth in there, I never seen Spence so disoriented and confused, something was off, it didn't make sense to me. I have to re-watch the highlights haven't seen one shot land on Terrence except body shots that Spence is famous for, Ok, Spence grazed him a few times to the top of the head.

I love listening to Teddy he has so much insight and intelligence when it comes to boxing!

TA is such a massive SRL fan & I love that. My favourite fighter.🥊

Car crash and the fact Crawford is a rugged fighter is why I still think he would have lost if not for the crash but he would’ve performed better

Been watching Crawford since the Gamboa win and I've been a fan ever since because during that fight the announcers were questioning his moves like going to southpaw and he proved them wrong by knocking the guy out viciously and making him look pedestrian as far as his skills. During the Spence Crawford fight Spence hit him numerous times you don't see it as much because everybody's highlighting what Crawford did but Spence connected at least 10 to 20 solid shots in the body and the head and it did not faze Crawford because he can take a punch. When you get in there with Crawford it happens really fast he don't want to knock you out in the first round because if that second round had 30 more seconds that fight would have been over then. He wants to hurt you he wants to run you through about 9 to 10 rounds and punish you and then knock you out. I don't need the Spence Crawford fight to know how good he is I've been watching him and watching his fights on KZread and pay-per-view for years He's that good and I hope people don't think he's that good and sleep on him and run up in that ring with him so he can fols them up and put them to sleep and get paid and go home. In my opinion and I've watched them both he would have no problem beating Floyd Mayweather He's got more power he's just as fast the only thing Floyd has is the defense but Crawford can get through that He's just that good. Floyd was a good prize fighter and that's what it's about getting paid and when he wanted to he could hurt you but that wasn't his game his game was given the audience 10 to 12 boring rounds and then during those rounds showing you a flash or two of offense collecting a check and going home. Again this is my opinion it would have been nice to see that fight. Like Teddy says he goes in their calm he never gets emotional in the ring. I just wish that Crawford had a brother or a twin just like him that was a heavyweight😊

End of story it doesn't mean he's a bad fighter it just means He's not as good as Bud that's it.

Sweet poetry teddy! Well said

Spence being 33 means that he has an easier time meeting weight than Crawford at 35. If Crawford had lost he would have inferior skills, Spence loses it’s he was drained? Yeah, got it. Meeting weight is a matter of nutrition not “draining.” It’s more s matter of time when a boxer simply tires of the discipline required to meet weight and has little to do age. Nutritionists know this. I really respect Errol. People were talking about the car crash has taken away “something.” I think in fact that it gave him the will to keep getting up after being pummeled and outboxed so thoroughly. I respect Errol more now than before the fight. That man kept getting up! How many of us would have? On our best day.😀🙏❤️❤️🙏

You CAN argue the weight issue, but it's the responsibility of the entire team to make that decision. If Spense was trying to safe face with the public by not cancelling the because weight was an issue, it's still on him and his team. I see it more of the fight being stylistic nightmare for Spence. Of they fight at 154, I think he will do a little bit better, but he result will be the same because of Crawford's awkwardness.

Archie Moore, The Old Mongoose, was still knocking guys out at 49 years old. Legendary. 220 fights, 186 wins 145 knock outs; The most in the history of the sport. Talk about another level. And not afraid to take a loss and come BACK. 23 losses. According to Archie Moore, Terrence Crawford has 13 more years to go. As far as Inouye being compared to Crawford, I'd say Teddy is right; They're different weight classes, and 6 years apart in age. However, they have the same focus, same mentality, and same fighting spirit. Vinny Pazienza only got better when he moved up in weight. Could be even better for Crawford.

People are acting as if (1) Bud bringing his A+ game and (2) Spence being terrible are mutually exclusive. They really aren't. Bud put in an astonishing, career best performance. However, Spence put on a career worst performance, and that's not simply about Crawford's tactics. Spence has always been a terminator, who doesn't get tired, doesn't get hurt, punches like a machine and is as solid as a rock. That looked NOTHING like the Spence in the Ugas fight: - He was EXHAUSTED after 3-4 rounds!! This is a guy who can go at a super high intensity for 12 rounds without breaking a sweat!! - He got knocked down by a punch to the shoulder?!! Badly hurt, bleeding and puffed up after receiving a few punches!? He has never been hurt before in a fight and suddenly he's half dead after a round? He was lethargic, weak and unsteady - and looked like 30% of the fighter he normally is. Couldn't move, couldn't punch and couldn't take a punch. That doesn't detract from Crawford's performance but let's be real - he was way, way, way, way off. Why, I have no idea - but that was a shell of Errol.

If Spence was drained before the fight that would be the reason why he was slow off timing and made Crawford look so fast and on point even Crawford said Spence way to slow for a lack of better words so I'm not giving Crawford all that credit until there's a rematch if he if Crawford performs and devastate Earl Spence in the rematch then I will believe Crawford is really that good

Watched the fight like 10 times. Spence looked good and strong up until late in the 3rd round. Even after the knockdown he came back with a hard left hand that moved Crawford head while holding his gaurd. He just got outboxed and was countered too many times. Crawford landed 60% of his power punches. Spence boxing stats where trash. He missed to many shots. Especially the jab which is his strongest attribute.

Charlo will have to get on a Citi bike and ride around the ring, try to tap and move tap and move and hope to win a decision. Unfortunately, i don't believe Charlo can stay away long enough to survive and he will get caught and KOd or TKOd.

Spence is extremely aggressive, which cost him big to a superior counterpuncher. The more he punched, the more he was countered. Threw body shots and exposed his head when lunging. Bang! As Teddy would say.

Honestly I believe this was Crawfords best fight & it was against his best Opponent. Crawford skills is crazy, Charlo ain’t got nothing coming

Well said!!!! The entire store.

Spence is normally a big puncher, now his punches dont even hurt. Cmon

No rematch…More Weight is just gonna make Spence even slower and more off balance…Why is no one talking about the difference in the trainers? If Crawford was a team and Spence was a team everyone on “first take” Monday morning would’ve been talking about how severely out coached Spence was. Crawford’s trainer was talking all truth before this fight to Spence’s guy. It all makes so much sense now and Spence’s guy knew it inside.

Teddy, Yes.

Also blame boxing for waisting Bud prime. Since he turned 30 he was ready for mega fights.

I recently saw the interview with Virgil Hunter where he shared doing the mits with Terrance Crawford he felt a snap and a whiplike power that is very rare. I am not to much of an expert but maybe he refers to this type of whiplike punch as how Tommy Hearns and Gerald McClellan would punch. Teddy could you please elaborate on this next podcast? My peace of mind depends on it haha. Love both of yuz.

I’ll mention 3 fights that are possibly similar. Collins vs Resto, Cotto vs Margarito 1 and Wilder vs Fury 2. Even though a professional Photographer’s photos during the Wilder fight showed one of Fury’s gloves was concave. The other glove you can clearly see the outline of four fingers. And Fury’s sleeves on his robe were extremely long, you couldn’t see his gloves. There was no investigation. Supposedly Derek James checked Crawford’s gloves after the fight. This is how Billy Collins Team found padding missing from Resto’s gloves. An investigation was done, and Fighter and Trainer went to Prison. Cotto’s face in the first Margarito fight tuned red real fast, and by the 3rd Round I could tell something was wrong. He was getting hurt with every punch landed. And he changed the way he normally fought. I knew he was a better fighter than Margarito. Margarito later got caught prior to the Moseley, by Nazzim Richardson with loaded Wraps. No investigation, no punishment and was still able to box. When he fought Cotto again, he didn’t have the destructive power he had in the first fight. Wilder fought a Boxer in the first fight, a fighter who wasn’t known for his power. In the second fight, Fury become a puncher, walking to Wilder, unlike what was shown in their first fight. Where did the extra power come from. The Damage done to Wilder so early in the fight, was unlike anything he had experienced, or what Fury had ever achieved. Now the Spence Crawford fight. Crawford had never done that to any opponents face ever, similar but worse than Cotto’s. He seemed to be hurt by every punch Crawford landed. He became hesitant to pull the trigger Cotto had more mobility with his style, Errol has never been that Mobile, because of his style and defense. When you get rocked, sometimes it’s hard to recover, and Crawford took advantage and pushed him off when he tried to tie up. I wonder if the Spence Team dropped the Ball like Cotto’s Team in the first fight. I don’t believe the Officials who watched the wrapping of Margarito’s hands and signing off on the legality of the wraps for the Mosely fight we’re punished. I love boxing, but it’s a “Dirty Game” at times!

Their not on the same level. Crawford is levels above Ino. It's disrespectful to compare them two

I totally agree with Mr. Teddy Atlas within this entire interview. It is my opinion that Terence Crawford totally outclassed Errol Spence Jr.. Spence is a fantastic and fabulous fighter however he's never come up with someone with the skills and ability to reset, change, adapt, counter etc. as Crawford. If I was Terence Crawford, I'd take the Charlo fight, win, and then spend the next 9 fights taking on known names and former champions like Kieth Thurman to encompass a 51-0 record with no youtubers or MMA fighters. As a coach/trainer, I always liked the nature of Terence Crawford and appreciate his skills and would like him to become the only 3 weight undisputed champion AND take away Floyd Mayweather's fraudulent record of 50-0....... I firmly believe that if Floyd Mayweather met Terence Crawford in their primes, I truly believe that Terence Crawford would figure out Mayweather's shell game and end the fight in a stoppage before the 10th round..... It is such a shame that Bob Arum didn't promote Terence Crawford that he should have been. Bob Arum should have promoted the .... right out of Crawford. Heck, he'd probably 50-0 by now had Bob Arum promoted Crawford to fight 2-3 times a year...

Teddy has been involved in boxing forever, and acts like he doesn't know what a weight drained fighter looks like!

I've been a fan of TC for a minute, not even as long as some other huge fight fans. But his true fans see something that apparently others don't. First heard of Bud when I saw highlights of Klimov & Burns bouts, but then I caught his match vs Gamboa & in 2 secs I saw a Master of the sweet science. Then I heard him speak afterwards & that was all I needed to know he's different. Possessed-level of commitment to the mission in the ring, like a controlled rage. Incredible!!! His mental game, attitude in the ring, focus + execution level is top notch. He's been best P4P for me since Horn fight. Charlo can try but best believe he hasn't faced anything like Bud.

Both conclusions can be correct about Spense. I picked #TerranceN10 but thought it would be a MUCH MORE of a competitive fight. I think the weight could have caused him some probems but still not to the extent that it would have changed the end result. Styles make fights.Crawford would always be a bad matchup for him.

I completely agree with T. Alas assessment on who’s p4p

Crawford is like that nasty but he shocked me when he let off the gas I guess he had to secure the second fight

Speed and agility does it all.
