He’s beat one good fighter, Errol Spence. Other than that, I don’t think he’s beaten other great fighters like Spence.” Crawford responded to this by saying, “Here we go with the I haven’t fought nobody but Spence talk. Lol y’all so delusional it’s crazy“. Alvarez has had a long and successful career for the last 18 years. Alvarez stands with 63 professional bouts.
