by David P. Greisman - Terence Crawford was just as quiet and unassuming three years ago as he is now. Back then, very few fight fans knew who he was. Now, an increasing number of people recognize that he is one of the best boxers in the world today.
His disposition hasn’t much changed even though his position in the sport has. It’s a strange thing in the fight game, where actions truly do speak louder than words yet the words nevertheless tend to pour forth voluminously and with volume.
Crawford’s ascent began by seizing a fortuitous opportunity. He was scheduled to appear on a non-televised undercard in March 2013. That spot was a familiar one five years into his development. This, then, was his time to break out.
When Khabib Allakhverdiev got hurt ahead of a bout with Breidis Prescott, Crawford stepped in with barely a week’s notice.

Crawford, who had been in the process of dropping down to lightweight, went in with the 140-pound Prescott and won impressively. The victory came on HBO, whose executives knew they’d lucked into something good. [Click Here To Read More]
