Crawford to Spence: "Take off the panties and let's fight!"

WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford, considered one the best pound-for-pound boxers in the sport, is getting frustrated with the lack of opponents and called out IBF/WBC champion Errol Spence in no uncertain terms.  Crawford told TMZ Sports, "Take off them panties and pull your pants up, and let's sign the contract!!!"  Crawford-Spence would be one of the biggest fights possible for boxing in 2020, a certain pay-per-view blockbuster. The problem for fans is that Spence is with Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions while Crawford is promoted by Bob Arum's TOp Rank, and the two entities rarely match their fighters against each other (although it has happened with Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao and Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. Gary Russell Jr.). The problem for Crawford is that Premier Boxing Champions has almost all the best welterweights in the world under contract, so Crawford has no big name opposition willing to fight him.
