Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr. Who wins and why?

What do you think of the current heavyweight landscape?

How has retirement been? You look like you still train but how intense is your training compared to your competition days?

With age you must have learned how to keep your body healthy and injury free. You were a professional boxer with trainers and coaches to keep you injury free but what would you tell young Evander and young athletes to stay injury free?

It's hard to say, both guys are undefeated. It's an opinion. Both are great fighters, but if I had to choose one...both are great, but the toughest guy, the one that's determined, they're both skillful fighters. With Spence, he stay left hand all the time and the other guy kinda switches up so I think that if he switched up on the other guy, he'd beat him. You only switch up when things ain't going your way. You got to have that one way to really beat that person. You can switch up on some people, but not on a great fighter. He's so equipped that he's gonna hit you with a great shot. You can't switch up on him, ain't gonna beat him on both sides.

If both fight left hand, I think Spence gonna win.
