Undisputed welterweight champion of the world, Terence Crawford, is the man of the moment after winning the sport's most anticipated fight last Sunday, easily dismantling Errol Spence Jr. in nine rounds.
The 35-year-old's triumph in Las Vegas has led to other elite boxers dreaming of a piece of action with him.
Gervonta "Tank" Davis, who won a highly-publicized fight over Ryan Garcia in April, has previously made a bold declaration of knocking out Crawford in six rounds in a potential battle.

"At 147? I tap that chin and you know he's going to sleep. [He's] got no chance - round six," the 28-year-old said.
This led to a resounding response from Crawford.
"Tank is at a lower weight class than me. He's at 135lbs, I'm at 147 lbs. I would never [make 135 lbs now]. Nah, I wouldn't say that it'll happen," Crawford said in a recent appearance on the HOT97 podcast.

Terence Crawford also shuts down a potential Canelo fight
The undisputed welterweight champion does not see anyone else on the level of Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence besides a potential fight with Mexican Canelo Alvarez. However, Crawford does not see the fight happening.
"[Canelo] fights at 168-plus, so I don't see him and me fighting," Crawford said, adding that 154lbs is realistically the maximum weight he can reach given his age.
