ERROL SPENCE WARNS TERENCE CRAWFORD TO QUIT AHEAD OF CANELO FIGHT

In a shocking statement that has sent ripples through the boxing world, Errol Spence Jr. has warned Terence Crawford to reconsider his highly anticipated fight against Canelo Alvarez. Spence, who has shared the ring with Crawford and knows firsthand the power and skill of the undisputed welterweight champion, believes this move could be a costly mistake for Crawford’s career.

Spence Sounds the Alarm

During a recent interview, Spence didn’t hold back his concerns about Crawford stepping up to face the Mexican superstar. “Canelo is a different beast,” Spence stated. “He’s bigger, stronger, and has been fighting at higher weight classes for years. Crawford might be one of the best, but this fight could be a serious risk.”

Spence, who suffered a brutal defeat to Crawford in their own battle, understands what it’s like to go up against the Omaha-born fighter. However, he insists that moving up in weight to challenge Canelo is an entirely different challenge—one that might not end well for Crawford.

Canelo’s Power vs. Crawford’s Skill

Crawford, known for his slick movement, precision counterpunching, and knockout ability, has dominated at welterweight. However, stepping into the ring with Canelo, a proven powerhouse at super middleweight, presents a whole new danger. The Mexican superstar has taken down elite opponents such as Gennady Golovkin, Sergey Kovalev, and Caleb Plant. His strength and chin have proven to be among the best in boxing.

“Size matters in boxing, especially at this level,” Spence emphasized. “Canelo is used to taking punches from guys much bigger than Crawford. The power difference will be real.”

Crawford Remains Confident

Despite Spence’s warning, Crawford appears unshaken. He has repeatedly stated that he wants to challenge himself against the best, and fighting Canelo is the ultimate test. “I’ve been counted out before, and I proved people wrong every time,” Crawford said in a recent interview. “This is just another challenge.”

While some believe Crawford has the skill and boxing IQ to neutralize Canelo’s power, others—including Spence—see it as a dangerous gamble.

Will Crawford Listen?

With fight negotiations ongoing, the world is watching to see if Crawford heeds Spence’s warning or if he continues to push for the biggest fight of his career. If the fight happens, one thing is certain: the boxing world will be in for an explosive showdown.

What do you think? Should Terence Crawford take on Canelo, or is Spence right to warn him?
