Terence Crawford advised Gervonta Davis on X to “cease being scared” and struggle Shakur Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis. These two are shut buddies of Crawford, so it is sensible that he’s attempting to disgrace Tank Davis into preventing them.
Crawford’s Protege
Keyshawn has no fanbase and has regarded horrible in fights in opposition to Miguel Madueno and Nahir Albright. He’s proven no real interest in preventing Cuban Andy Cruz, who whipped him 4 instances within the amateurs and made him seem like a circus clown within the 2020 Olympics.
Tank isn’t going to assist out Crawford’s gym-mate, Keyshawn. If Crawford needs to attempt to flip his buddy, Keyshawn, right into a star, he wants to present him some braveness to face conqueror Andy Cruz.
Crawford is attempting to get at Gervonta after he trashed him on X, saying,
“Y’all actually suppose he [Crawford] is chasing greatness. He’s not. That’s what he has to do to make first rate cash.”
Tank Davis is speaking about Terence chasing paydays, not greatness in opposition to Canelo Alvarez in Saudi Arabia. That is extra about retirement cash for Crawford. If he had been actually into his legacy, he’d transfer as much as 168 and show himself first as a substitute of begging for the struggle.
Crawford has been telling followers that his rationale for shifting up two weight divisions to problem unified tremendous middleweight champion Canelo is for “legacy” functions to change into nice, however Davis sees it as purely money-oriented.
Bud’s Bunch
@Gervontaa look I obtained larger fish to fry. Develop some ball and struggle @ShakurStevenson or @KeyshawnDavis8 and cease being scared. That’s in all probability why you ran yo woman over and beat her ass since you dont obtained no nutt’s and he or she understand it.😂

That is what Crawford has to do to earn a living as a result of he can’t promote. Crawford’s final struggle in opposition to Israil Madrimov reportedly introduced in between 75,000 to 100,000 buys. These are horrible numbers. Crawford has NEVER been a PPV draw like Tank Davis has.
The light-weight contender Keyshawn Davis (12-0, 8 KOs) shares the identical coach with ‘Bud’ Crawford. They’re each educated by Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre.
Tank gained’t struggle a boring Shakur Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) as a result of he’s not a marketable fighter and could be lifeless weight for the promotion. Gervonta would usher in all of the PPV buys, and Shakur would simply be there. Shakur is a boring fighter that folks don’t wish to watch.
I nonetheless don’t know why Eddie Hearn signed Shakur and thinks he can flip him right into a “International star.” That isn’t occurring within the U.S.
Perhaps Hearn could make Shakur a star within the UK as a result of their leisure requirements appear low. That’s why fighters like Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Conor Benn, and Chris Eubank Jr. are so well-liked over there. They might by no means be stars within the U.S. You need to have expertise to be a star in America.
