Omaha Nebraska's own Terence " Bud " Crawford is one of the most technical fighters in the game, he's also among the most clinical finishers: his bouts against Errol Spence and Shawn Porter attest to this.
Over time discussions in boxing circles have broached on a potential matchup against " Gervonta " Tank " Davis ; the undefeated knockout specialist from Baltimore.
Tank Davis has fought as high as the super-lightweight limit of 140 - a win over Mario Barrios for the WBA Regular belt - although looks much more suited to 135 where he is currently full WBA Champion.
Asked if he would stick around to make 147 for the fight, 'Bud' said yes for the money rather than the credit, but warned Davis against that scale of weight-jump.
"I'd stay at 147 for him. That's big money. But then what? Everybody gonna say he was too small.
Nobody gonna give me credit. They're gonna say man you beat up a little guy that fights at 135.
Tank's like 5'5". He's a lil guy. Yeah he can punch, but in his weight class. Not saying he can't punch in any weight class, cause he punch punch and we see that. But what type of recognition am I gonna get for beating up Tank?
Lot of people don't know 135 to 147 is a big jump.”
Should be an intriguing fight, but very unlikely. Unless of course " The Arabian Miracle ", His Excellency Turki Alalshikh wants to have some fun.
