WBC and IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr is all for fighting the best in the division. The undefeated champion is set to return to the ring for the first time since his horrific car crash. He is set to face Danny Garcia on December 5 with both his belts on the line. Despite this, his focus has already shifted to his fight after the Garcia fight.
Speaking to the media after his open workout, Spence shed light on a few different things. When asked about Manny Pacquiao and Terence Crawford, the champion gave his honest opinion.
He said, “Line ‘em up. Line ‘em up. Y’all already know who to talk to. The one-person y’all got to talk to is Al Haymon. You have one person to talk to and we get this fight on the road. So, they already know; after I put on this great show come December fifth, whoever else [is] in my way, let’s get it.”
This comes after there have been several rumors of the potential Crawford-Spence fight. ‘Bud’ has already had his say about the fight, and now Spence has followed suit. However, Spence’s response is clearly more positive than Crawford’s.

Clearly, Spence wants these fights. So realistically, when can he make these happen? Provided he wins his fight against Garcia on December 5, it is safe to say he will take a few months out. Fans could see him fight in the middle of next year and towards the end of next year at the very least.
Terence Crawford also wants to fight Pacquiao next. So it will make for a very interesting 2021 in the welterweight division. Who would you like Errol Spence Jr to fight first?
