Terence “Bud” Crawford joins Weighing with Travis Hartman for a powerful, honest conversation about the mindset that made him one of the greatest fighters of this era. In this episode, Bud opens up about retired life after the biggest win of his career over Canelo Alvarez, why he knew it was time to walk away, the injuries and physical battles he dealt with behind the scenes, and where he believes his legacy stands in boxing history. He also addresses the sanctioning fee controversy, speaks on the WBC situation, gives credit to the team that helped build his career, talks about faith, family, smart investments, and why he never wanted boxing to use him. This is Bud Crawford reflective, direct, and unfiltered.
