After the CANELA defeat is Crawford the best fighter of his generation?

Las Vegas – It’s time to seriously talk about where Terence Crawford It belongs to the conversation of the largest fighters of all time.

CRAVFORD, 37, PROJECTED Canelo Alvarezand earned A unanimous victory of the decision to become an undisputed Super Champion of Medium Weight. By winning, Crawford enters an exclusive club as the first men’s boxer in era with four belts to earn undisputed status in three classes of weight (Junior Weltern weight, vestil and super medium weight). If he decides to stop gloves after Saturday, and who could blame him if he did), he would withdraw with the 42-0 record, with a frame of five divisions (undisputed in three) and victory over a man with relative ease.

This was far different performance than unilateral blow he surrendered Errol Spence Jr. In 2023. year, which was his best job to fight Canelo. This time, not violently uploading his opponent, Crawford expert, made a Mexican superstar and left him to shake his head in disbelief as the rounds wore. Although the play could be compared with the one who submitted Floyl Mayweather in 2013 at the time of 23 years 2013. years, winning Saturday may have been more impressive. Crawford confused his opponent by smooth leg, constant sequins, a scintillating combination of piercing and solid beard.

“I think Crawford is much better than Floyda Maweather,” Canelo said at a conference on the post-Month newspaper conference. If the mayweather are considered The best of this generation And it sets in his place as one of the biggest fighters of all time, what does that mean for Crawford?

It must certainly be in conversation after what he did in Canelo.

Fighting Pride Omaha, Nebraska, is the first fighter since Dingaan “Rose” Tobel won world titles on lightweight (135 kilograms) and super medium weight (168 kilograms) and has Never That the judge struggled for his opponent in his 17-year professional career. Mayweather did not achieve the feat in spite of the 50-0 retirement. But this is not necessarily in CRAVFORD for mayweather; It is a comparison of Crawford to all the elite borce of his generation that resides on or near the boxer’s rushmore. If it’s not on top, he’s there.

First and most importantly, he is the winner. Second, he wins different ways. He can hand over a violent blow – as he did against Spence, Amir Khan and Jeff Horn – or he can visit the opposition – as he proved against Canel and Victor Potola. There is not much that he cannot do and he showed every fascist of his game against Canel. Nothing stopped it: It’s not weight, age or skill. He is among the best functions for the pound for a pound we have ever seen.

Crawford wouldn’t go so far as to say that he would withdraw from the box after Saturday, but it remained a little to prove. He did everything and left a little doubt when it comes to what he can’t do. Many thought he was over his head when he entered the background of his vocal boos from greatly pro-Canelo in unforeseen and left four seats such as Canelo and his fans called heads in disbelief.

“I won’t rub that in everyone’s face,” CRAVFORD ESPN told a conference on the post-Minister’s news conference before it turned on the belts. “I have all the evidence I need here on this table.”

Who dare to deny it now?
