Terence Crawford has shared his list of the five greatest boxers of all time. The undefeated champion from Omaha revealed his picks as he gets ready for a big fight with Canelo Alvarez.
Crawford, known as 'Bud', has won world titles in four weight classes and is the undisputed champion in both super-lightweight and welterweight. At 37, he's still going strong with over 40 fights under his belt.
On September 13, Crawford will face Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas for the undisputed super-middleweight championship. A win would make Crawford the first male fighter to be undisputed champion in three weight classes.
In a recent interview on Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru & Henry, Crawford shared his top five boxers of all time:
"You got Sugar Ray Robinson, you got Sugar Ray Leonard, you got Floyd Mayweather, you got Marvin Hagler, you got Roberto Duran, that's five for you right there."
Sugar Ray Robinson tops Crawford's list. Many consider Robinson the best ever, thanks to his mix of speed, power, and skill across different weight classes.
Sugar Ray Leonard comes next. Inspired by Robinson, Leonard won fans over with his speed and heart, beating many boxing legends in thrilling fights.
Floyd Mayweather takes the third spot. Mayweather's defense and ring smarts were unmatched, and he retired undefeated after 50 fights.
Marvin Hagler, known for his toughness and relentless style, is fourth on Crawford's list. The "Marvelous" one was a champion with an iron chin who defined toughness in the ring.
Roberto Duran rounds out the top five. The Panamanian brought both ferocity and skill to the ring, earning greatness across four weight divisions.
Crawford's list shows he values a mix of skill, power, and legacy in boxing. As he prepares for his fight with Canelo, Crawford might be thinking about where he'll rank among these greats when his career is done.
