It's hard to believe that Crawford was...

[Silky-Flow]

In them streets as a youngster coming up. So much to the point that he got shot (in the head according to the recent countdown show of the Postol fight) and was hospitalised. Him surviving that incident is said to have turned his whole life around.

In truth though when you see his whole quiet demeanour and his reluctance to be brash and opinionated like so many greats before him, it's very hard to imagine he was a street dude.

What I find intriguing about him though is he's probably one of the calmest looking fighters I've ever seen. Like Rigo his expression never changes. And I wonder if that is because he's already looked death in the face? That calmness is hard to find in this fight game. Hell I've seen Floyd look a little nervous a ton of times but never Terence and it will be interesting to see if that remains the case the higher the level he goes.

No it's not hard to believe at all

TR wants their black fighters to be non confrontational that why you get the image he has. Crawfords street though

Shot in the head? LOL

Eh, I thought the same until I heard about that idiot taking a crew of guys to repo his car from the bodyshop and they fked up the hydraulic lift. Half-ass thug bullshyt. Some of his statements following that were disappointing as well.

He's still one of my favorites and I have believed in his ability since the first time I saw him. But, he's not entirely humble or mannered.

That's what they said in THIS countdown to the Postol fight. Said the bullet bounced off his skull .

If that man isn't blessed then no-one is.

How to beat a man who has a bullet-proof skull?

He's the Terminator of 140.

He has a mean streak. Look at the Hank Lundy fight.

I enjoyed that show on Crawford. He learned from his near death experience and started living a better and smarter life. He realized that he was hanging out with a dangerous crowd and that it could get him hurt or killed. Having gone through such a near death experience might make him think nothing that bad was likely to happen to him in a boxing ring. That might help give him that calmness under pressure.

Yeah, when he pushed Hank during a head to head before the fight I was shocked at his reaction. Then you read up on his past and needless to say I wasn't shocked anymore .

Street guys are quiet. I have never met a guy who was in the streets that was loud af and didn't get his ass beat or shot.

This is boxing not the streets. Street guys have been in boxing since the 1900s they are nothing new.
