O/T - Terrance Crawford
Mon Sep 15, 2025 9:20 am
Anyone see this over the weekend?
I remember when he stunned Ricky Burns in 2014 and became an instant fan of him. Since then, he's stepped up to absolutely everything and wiped it away with ease.
3 x Undisputed Champion in 3 different divisions. The one and only to do it in the 4-belt era. He's literally got all of the tools!
Definitely a seat at the top table.
It wasn't nice watch Canelo almost age during the fight, and what a fighter himself... but Bud went up to his weight, no rehydration clauses, just action. Wow!!!

He is amazing. Very impressive performance. I think he aged Canelo rather than Canelo ageing as such.
I think he’s 2 to Usyk’s 1 but I would happily listen to why he’s 1.
While I detest Saudi and the sports washing that is occurring and massively hate the ‘his excellency’ bollocks there’s no doubting that he is a massive boxing fan and is putting the money in to make the fights happen. Can’t see it due to the weight issues but Crawford Bivol would be fascinating.

Agreed. Him and Usyk are all time greats. Bud for me though, but splitting hairs.

Before Usyk demolished Dubois I thought Crawford or Inoue. But I think now Usyk but you are right splitting hairs.
Very sad about Hatton.

Bud was always going to win.
Canelo is a legend and deserves all the praise a boxer can be afforded.
He was 21 when he faced a master or the ring in Floyd and to be fair he was also drained at weight.
But for all the Plaudits Canelo deserves he has always struggled with fast moving fighters.
Bivol exposed it, Floyd exposed it, He'll even Khan exposed it and won every round til he got knocked unconcois.
Buds movement, footwork and speed was always going to the telling factor in the fight.
Inoue looked like Inoue in his fight, but he's desperate for a legit marquee name on his record now.
R.I.P Hitman.
