Crawford is two fights removed from being legendary

Why are they never introduced or referred to as simply a titlist? Because the word on their belts say “champion”. I’m not saying I like it, but that’s how it is. By your measure, lots guys aren’t champions then. But these are the problems with the sport. We all know it but still watch it, which is why nobody cares about the technical crap. It’s all about the circumstances. I don’t care about Sugar Ray Leonard being a light heavyweight champion because he never fought at that weight for a championship. He used his leverage as the face of the sport to get that. Circumstances tell the story more than just simply saying someone is legend because of this feat or that accomplishment. Especially in boxing.

 

Well it would cement his legacy and put him in high regard in terms of historical ranking. But not so much for collecting belts but because of the quality of opposition when it comes to Spence and Charlo. You know it ought be the fighter makes the title valuable. Unfortunately nowadays, it's seems it's the opposite.

 

Nope, only great.

Legends are not born that way.

 

That win over Viktor Postol looks better and better with age

 

If he fights Spence next (and thanks to Jarron Ennis) it looks like that's likely and beats him then they'll look to milk the rematch.

2x wins over Spence and going up and knocking of Charlo..... that's first ballot hall of fame stuff. Champion in 4 weight classes. That's real.

He would retire after that and we could start debating where he lands on the all-time list. Top 50???

 

canelo needs to come back down to 160. crawford will whoop dat ass
