Former undisputed world champion in three weight categories Terence Crawford named his top five favorite boxers.
“My favorite boxers... well, it has to be Ali. It definitely has to be Floyd Mayweather, Sugar Ray Leonard...
Did I mention Roy Jones Jr.? So, we have Ali, there is Roy Jones Jr. Sugar Ray Leonard. We have Pernell Whitaker. And I will add Andre Ward.
These are fighters whose fights I could really watch on tape. These are the fighters, you know, that I watched.
Because when we talk about, like, Sugar Ray Robinson and all those other great fighters — we can only see a handful of clips of them. I understand that many put these fighters at a very high level, but they never even saw how they fight. They saw nothing of them, they just read and heard about them and all that. And we only see, like, clips of one fight or something similar,” said Crawford.
American Terence Crawford (42-0, 31 KOs) ended his career in 2025, following which he became undisputed for the third time by outboxing Saul Alvarez.
