LAS VEGAS — For several years, Errol Spence Jr. was largely quiet when the topic of a bout with Terence Crawford came up. Spence is a naturally reserved man, particularly in public, and he wasn't eager to air his private business with Crawford for all the world to see.
came up. Spence is a naturally reserved man, particularly in public, and he wasn't eager to air his private business with Crawford for all the world to see.
Talks to make Pacquiao and Mayweather began in earnest in late 2009 after Pacquiao stopped Miguel Cotto. In the time before the fight was made, Pacquiao lost twice and was knocked out cold once, a punch from Juan Manuel Marquez that most assumed ended the potential dream fight for good. Highly regarded trainer Stephen “Breadman” Edwards said Crawford “is one of the best fighters I’ve ever seen.” Former welterweight champion Shawn Porter said Spence “is the most fundamentally sound boxer in the world.”
The gym was packed with reporters, publicists and those involved in putting together the broadcast, and it was stifling. Forget the fact that he nearly ended what looked to be a legendary, Hall of Fame-bound boxing career. That’s just secondary stuff. Spence put his life at risk and nearly forever altered the lives of his two children by drinking and driving.
