Crawford claims that the greatness of all time
Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) is not seen as great, because he never beat one elite warrior during his 17-year professional career and looked terrible in his last fight, receiving a decision against Israil Madrimov.
“Of course, why wouldn’t I have?” Terenca Crawford said to Ring champs The YouTube channel, asked if he would put himself in the “biggest warrior” if he defeated Canelo Alvarez on September 13. “When you talk about all other warriors who would do or achieve something close.
If Crawford defeated Canelo, he would still not be near the “biggest warrior in history” because his tender CV is not registered. He fights with Canelo about an exaggerated Hill, who is not the best warrior at the age of 168. We do not know who is the best warrior in the super medium -sized ward, because Alvarez decided to avoid the best guys.
David Benavidez and David Morrell finally gave up waiting to fight him and moved to 175. The best who remained would have a perfect shot in defeating the Mexican star. Both Benavidez and Morrell would be joyful to return to 168 if Canelo agreed to fight them. They both beat him and would do the same with Crawford.
Bighters Canelo beat to collect 168 passengers
– Callum Smith: WBA and WBC
– Billy Joe Saunders: WBO
– Caleb plant: IBF
– William Scull: He regained the title of IBF
“When you say Sugar Ray Robinson. He never went up three weight classes and did not fight the undisputed champion,” said Crawford, who is better than Sugar Ray. “The first to vote Hall of Famer and one of the best Mexican fighters who left Mexico,” said Crawford with 35-year-old Canelo.
Crawford does not say that he would lose to the fighters in 160 and 168 if he was obliged to overcome the best talents in these weight classes before he would question Canelo for his undisputed average championship. Terenka receives an undeserved title he did not earn against Alvarez. If he had to defeat fighters at the age of 160, such as Janibek Alimkhanuly or in 168, like the Caleb plant, he would lose.
Prime Sugar Ray vs. Shoptorn Canelo
If Sugar Ray Robinson received preferential treatment that Crawford was given, he would move three divisions to capture world titles, especially if the master was washed. Put the Prime Sugar Ray with a larger 35-year-old warrior Over-the-Hill, he would win. Crawford is in a great situation, fighting with Shopnnorn Canelo, who looked extremely bad in his three three fights with William Scull, Edgar Berlang and Jaime Mungui.
“This is a difference when you talk about weight growth and who you fight with. You can say that I went to three classes in weight,” said Terenka, saying what he will achieve, if he moves from 154 to 168. Crawford presents himself as a warrior at 147 pounds, not a 154-pound guy, even though he moved in last year and captured the title of WBA.
The last decrease in Canelo’s results
Moving to the fight with 35-year-old Canelo, who is perceived by fans as Washed, is not the same as Crawford, who moved to 168 to face the real killer, who is in their splendor. The division is empty from talent when David Benavidez and David Morrell moved out. But Crawford would still be over his head, fighting with Christian Mbilli, Oslyys Iglesias and Caleb Plant. This is just a miniature list. He would also have problems fighting with other super medium -medium wagons. Youth, size and power of warriors such as Edgar Berlanga, Jaime Munguia and Hamzah Sheeraz would be a pure problem for Crawford.
“This is joy in this. Everyone wonders how I intend to do in 168. They don’t know. How can they say what will happen to a person who is nothing,” said Crawford, when some fans think that Canelo cannot hurt, but a Mexican star may hurt him.
Fans have a great idea about how Crawford will do in 168. They are able to extrapolate with how he made a move to 154, winning the fight against the razor with Israil Madrimov. Crawford looked aged, tender and tender in this fight. Now it will be a year older, conducting two divisions to fight Canelo. We already know how Crawford will work.
Is Crawford only fighting for Payday?
“I don’t know what they are talking about,” said Crawford, when he said fans think he was just fighting Canelo for payment and later retired. “I see that I’m fighting Canelo and this is the only thing about it. I don’t think about anything else than that.”
The reason why fans believe that Crawford is fighting only for money:
- Crawford, not wanting to prove in 168
- Sitting inactive for a year, waiting for the fight against Canelo
- Not planning to stay in 168. The fight is one -time for Crawford.
“No, not now. Why should I think about suspending them during the fight? I am blessed,” said Terency, responding to the interviewer saying that he is “great” to his age.
Of course, Crawford counts on a lucrative rematch from Canelo if he wins or if the competition is close. Even if he doesn’t get a rematch, he could earn a lot of money in the fight for 168 or 154 against the killers in these weight classes.
Crawford’s hope will be a rematch from Canelo. If not, it would be a kennel options to earn as much money as possible before retiring:
– David Benavidez
– Dmitryry Bivol
– Artur Beterbiev
– Sebastian Fundor
– Jaron “Boots” Ennis
– Vergil Ortiz
– Conor Benn
– Chris Eubank Jr.
– Tim Tsyzyu
Crawford would lose to most of these fighters, especially if he decides to remain inactive all year round before the fight.

Carl Froch Claims One Welterweight Champion Could Have Stopped Terence Crawfords Unbeaten Streak
Published

August 16, 2026
Terence Crawford faced and defeated 42 different opponents during a 17-year career, but super-middleweight icon Carl Froch believes that there is one welterweight who would have put an end to Crawford’s unbeaten streak if they were to meet in their primes.
Crawford became the first post-war boxer to claim the undisputed title in three separate weight divisions last September; a run which began as a super-lightweight in 2015 by defeating Thomas Dulorme, then unifying against Viktor Postol before halting Julius Indongo in an undisputed title showdown.
‘Bud’ then moved on to the welterweight scene and knocked out Jeff Horn to capture the WBO world title on his 147lb debut, making five defences of the title before colliding with fierce rival and three-belt unified titleholder, Errol Spence Jr, in 2023.
In a unforgettable fight, Crawford brutally beat Spence down in an authoritative ninth-round stoppage win to capture the undisputed welterweight throne. Talk then turned to an unprecedented three-weight move up to super-middleweight to take on Canelo Alvarez.
After stopping off at super-welterweight to dethrone Israil Madrimov on his way up, Crawford debuted at super-middleweight in a challenge for Canelo’s undisputed crown and outboxed the Mexican superstar in an iconic win last year, hanging up the gloves three months later.
Despite those legendary achievements, Froch picked Floyd Mayweather Jr to come out on top in a potential fantasy fight against the Omaha southpaw, in an episode of ‘Froch on Fighting’.
Mayweather’s achievements speak for themselves, retiring with a perfect 50-0 unbeaten record after claiming world honours in five divisions, with his most impressive reign coming at 147lbs, where he defeated the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley.
Mayweather has been rumoured to make a comeback, but while there would be huge finances that would be on offer, Crawford has revealed that he would have no interest in ending his retirement for a bout with ‘TBE’, believing that the 49-year-old is ‘old’ and ‘done’.

Conor Benn Reveals His Pick: Oscar De La Hoya vs Terence Crawford Showdown in Boxing History

August 16, 2026
Terence Crawford has been hailed by many as the best fighter of this generation following his retirement, and now WBC welterweight title hopeful Conor Benn has shared how he thinks ‘Bud’ would have fared against six-division world champion Oscar De La Hoya.
Crawford became boxing’s sixth five-division world champion with an iconic win over Canelo Alvarez back in September; joining Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in that elite and exclusive club reserved only for legends of the sport.
Of that group, only De La Hoya and Pacquiao have gone on to conquer a sixth division, with De La Hoya’s 2004 WBO middleweight world title win over Felix Sturm seeing the Californian become the first boxer to ever become a sextuple champion.
Crawford could have joined ‘’The Golden Boy’ and ‘Pac-Man’ in achieving that feat, having been offered a middleweight world title shot during the aftermath of his triumph over Canelo late last year – a proposal which later fell apart due to a failed doping test by Janibek Alimkhanuly.
Continuing the praise that the Omaha-born southpaw has received since announcing his retirement last December, Benn told Daily Mail Boxing that he would favour the undefeated star to get the better of De La Hoya, if they were to meet in their primes.
Benn also went on to predict that Crawford would retain his unbeaten streak against other greats of the game, picking him to come out on top against each of Mayweather, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker and Roberto Duran.

Robert Garcia Evaluates Terence Crawfords Odds Against Prime Pacquiao

Top trainer and former world champion Robert Garcia has considered the outcome of a fantasy showdown between Terence Crawford and Manny Pacquiao.
The two generational greats reportedly came close to squaring off in 2021, back when Crawford was the WBO welterweight champion and ‘Pac Man’ held the WBA title.
Their unification match never materialised, though, as Pacquiao was scheduled to face Errol Spence Jr before ‘The Truth’ pulled out with a torn retina.
Instead, the Filipino legend ended up losing his WBA title to Yordenis Ugas at a stage when, while still serviceable, he was quite clearly past his best.
Crawford, meanwhile, was hitting top form around this time, just a few fights away from producing arguably a career-best performance against Spence.
He did, of course, manage to stop his welterweight rival in nine rounds, before moving up to 168lbs and becoming a three-division undisputed champion by dethroning Canelo Alvarez last September.
Based on those two performances, coach Garcia has told ESNEWS that he would favour ‘Bud’ to defeat even a prime version of Pacquiao.
“The Crawford that beat Spence – and the Crawford that beat Canelo – would probably beat Manny.”
While Crawford’s prime almost certainly came during his run of eight stoppages at welterweight, it is harder to pinpoint when Pacquiao ultimately reached his peak.
In terms of his most destructive performance at world level, however, many will point towards his second-round finish over Ricky Hatton in 2009.
While facing the ‘Hitman’ at 140lbs, Pacquiao would cement himself as a formidable welterweight champion soon after, dethroning Miguel Cotto with a 12th-round stoppage for the WBO title.
