Terence Crawford appreciation thread

[richardt]

He was fighting on the inside the whole fight basically, Burns wasn't coming forward and tried to box him from the outside with a jab. Watch his other fights and you will see he has an inside game a well when fighters actually try to fight him.

He kind of reminds me of an early Mayweather in style, I'm surprised thread starter likes him. Mayweather use to switch stances and fight effectively at the lower weights. Terence is taller by an inch and his reach is longer by an inch.. He should be the successor if he stays dedicated. Also he deserves big names now but I'm afraid Top Rank will try to preserve the other guys and keep him having to do things like this which can turn out interesting in itself.

I'm talking about a real pressure fighter fighting him inside and how he copes. Burns did not fight an inside fight at all. I don't care about other fights at lower levels, I want to see how he handles things at the championship level where it counts now that he made it to this point. There are questions that still need to be answered which goes without saying because he just won the title. Time will tell.
