Terence Crawford made a cryptic comment on an unnamed fighter on x today, he said. “He had to fight.” On him when you get the chance.

Bud says that the mysterious warrior doesn’t have a chance to fight him anymore because “it’s over now.” He seems bitter about the fighter, probably Sebastian Fundora, not fighting him.

The way Crawford sounds in the tweet, he’s coming from above, talking to someone.

Instead of throwing someone a bone about an undeserved title shot against three-belt 168-pound champion Canelo Alvarez, Terrence is a bigger star.

Fans believe he’s talking about Sebastian Fundora, the WBC and WBC Junior Middleweight Champion, negotiating to defend against Errol Spence. You can’t blame Fundora for taking the Spence fight because he can’t wait for Terrence’s once-a-year schedule.

Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) It needs adjustment To prepare for a title bout against unified middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. The needy one here is Crawford, not Fundora, because unless he wants to sit out a solid year before his split with Alvarez in September, he’ll need a big fight to propel him.

That’s not good when compared to Crawford Canelo. Terrence has been fighting once a year since 2020, and looked like an old, rusty fighter in his last bout, most notably his 13-month layoff against Israel Madrimov on Aug. 3.

‘The Towering Inferno’ Fundora was great for ‘Bud’ Crawford because he wasn’t easily hurt and knocked some chips off of him, like the IBF 154-lb champion. Bakhram Murtazaliev. That guy makes Crawford old.

If Crawford had the guts to move up to 168 to beat one of his top contenders, he wouldn’t need Fundora. He has to fight a top-five guy at super middleweight to be ready for Canelo, right? Isn’t that how it’s usually done?

If Crawford steps up and fights his opponent at 168, he could lose, and that would ruin his chances of a fight with Canelo. Turki Al Sheik may still be willing to take on a Canelo-Crawford fight, but he may resist the idea knowing that he will make less money than Canelo.

He won’t take credit for fighting Crawford as he moves up two weight classes from 154 to 168. There’s also Crawford’s age. He turns 38 in September.

That means less credit goes to Canelo after beating him. So, it’s understandable why Crawford wouldn’t want to get his feet wet by setting the tone against a contender at 168 rather than Fundora, a vulnerable 154-pound champion.
