Detailed analysis and comparison with other ATGs:
1. He’s a 4-division lineal champion
Besides Crawford, only Floyd and Manny achieved this. But unlike Floyd and Manny, Crawford never utilized catchweights a single time in his career.
2. He’s a 5-division world champion along with Leonard, Oscar, Floyd, Manny, and Hearns.
Again, Crawford is the only boxer on this list who never utilized catchweights in a fight, which brings me to my next point.
3. He’s the only ATG boxer in history (excluding heavies) who never utilized catchweights in his career
Langford, Robinson, Greb, Moore, Fitzsimmons, Duran, Armstrong, Pep, Roy Jones Jr, Floyd/Manny, etc all utilized catchweights in their careers, some of them doing it very often. Crawford never did it a single time.
4. He became undisputed champion in 3 weight classes
Henry Armstrong did it too, but Crawford is the only one to do it in the four belt era. Manny and Floyd never became undisputed in even one weight class.
5. He’s the only boxer to ever hold the Ring Magazine belt in 4 weight classes
No other fighter has done this.
6. He’s undefeated AND was never officially knocked down.
No other ATG boxer in history can claim this, they either have losses or have been knocked down.
Pound-for-pound, Terence Crawford may actually be the greatest and most legit fighter of all time.
