If Crawford chooses to go through with it in his negotiations with Spence this year, he could be defeated for the first time, assuming there’s a second round of negotiations.
As most people know, Crawford will soon be old and wish he had fought Spence.
At this point, it’s unclear if PBC will give Crawford a second chance to fight Spence.
If you rescue a superstar and make him look like a dunce, you may never get a second chance to pull the football out from under him.
