Terence Crawford: record, next fight and profile →
Terence Crawford couldn’t help but scoff at what he feels is another excuse from Errol Spence Jr. The unified welterweight champion from Omaha, Nebraska, responded to Spence’s insistence made earlier this week that his vision was impaired during their undisputed 147-pound championship last summer, which Crawford won by
The resume of Terence Crawford is receiving a lot more love lately. For the most part, the 36-year-old has been given the side eye for his level of opposition. What took place at 135 and 140 pounds is extraneous but the work he put in at 147 pounds has been put under the microscope.
Terence Crawford had a ton to get off his chest. After taking home every major world title at 147 pounds, the 36-year-old has a bunch of time on his hands. He might be currently enjoying his vacation but he’s been paying attention to some of the brazen words of Teofimo Lopez.

Sometimes, boxing can be a crapshoot. Vergil Ortiz Jr. ostensibly checked all the boxes. He was big, strong, didn’t play around with his food, and got all of his opponents out of there before the sound of the final bell. His placement amongst the rest of his welterweight peers was unambiguous.
Amir Khan isn’t enamored by the potential hurdles his former opponent and one-time stablemate Terence Crawford would face in a fight against Canelo Alvarez.
It might be just a mythical title, but practically every fighter salivates at the thought of being regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Essentially, the number one slot is being fought over by Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue.
