If Eminem walks out Crawford, then that would be a legendary moment before the boxers face off against each other in the ring.
Crawford vs. Spence could be a fight for the ages, with promoter Eddie Hearn backing Crawford to stop Spence.
"Great fight, I am going for a Terence Crawford stoppage," he predicted.
"I think they are both unbelievable. I just look at two things. Number one, I think Errol has had more wear and tear over the years, from the car crash and from tough fights. I also think Terence Crawford is unbelievably mentally strong in fights. He’s a little bit of a sicko going into fights.

"I’m not sure if he stops him, but I think he wins and I think he could stop him. Sometimes you make these big fights, and they’re cagey for six or seven rounds and it might be like that.
"But if it catches fire early, I think he’ll stop him."
