Terence Crawford has received undisputed world championships at super-lightweight, welterweight and all the best way up at super-middleweight.
Unbeaten in his profession, in that extraordinary run he is overwhelmed standouts Errol Spence, at 147lbs, and most just lately Canelo Alvarez, the dominant drive at 168lbs.
Beating Canelo at super-middleweight was implausible sufficient, shifting up one more division wouldn’t be practical, even for Crawford.
However he’s working out of challenges.
In a single swoop he is picked up all 4 of the most important super-middleweight world titles, so there are not any rival world champions for him there.
Crawford received the primary battle with Alvarez so convincingly there’s little name for a rematch.
Hamzah Sheeraz is among the main contenders at super-middleweight, Chris Eubank Jr is a giant title, however each are as but unproven at world stage.
Jaron Ennis, an unbeaten former unified welterweight world champion, has moved as much as 154lbs and his promoter, Eddie Hearn insists “Boots” is the one fighter who can match Crawford.
“Tell me a fight other than Ennis-Crawford, that you would really want to see Crawford in that is realistic,” Hearn advised Sky Sports activities.
“A lot of those guys that Crawford fought, unfortunately for him, were past their best, even though I rate him as a generational talent, I think he’s unbelievable.
“The distinction is with Ennis, Ennis is not within the backend of his profession. Ennis is not coming off eye surgical procedure or a horrible automotive crash [like Errol Spence], or hasn’t had 80 fights [Canelo is a veteran of 68 professional contests]. It isn’t Crawford’s fault, he would have fought all of them and he most likely would have overwhelmed all of them.
“You’ve got to understand as well, Ennis is 10 years younger than Crawford.”
However Ennis nonetheless must work his technique to that battle.
“Crawford is a generational great. He’s earned the right to fight anyone he wants and he’s only going to step back in the ring for a shedload of money. So we’ve got to do a lot on our side to make that fight as lucrative as it needs to be,” Hearn defined.
“We need to beat the champions. We also would love a fight with Vergil Ortiz.
“All of those guys we have now to undergo and I do not see him shedding to any of them.
“The only fight where I can’t tell you I’m 100 per cent convinced he wins is Terence Crawford because of how good Terence Crawford is.”
