Elite level professional athletes are a rare breed and Crawford is one of them — his ability transcends all of professional sport.
He had a tough fight last time out but will improve again in his next contest from it.
Boxing as a professional sport is just one of the many sports Crawford actually excels at in his spare time, crazily. You have the be a little crazy to be a world champion as regular people cannot achieve these things.
He can throw 50 yard football passes, batter pro basketball players at charity games and hammer Englishmen at their own game of darts like Eddie Hearn who grew up playing it as a child (Crawford first time out just whopped him recently).
This is a different kind of person you are dealing with in Crawford.
Boxing is called the sweet science for a reason and working on his primary craft frequently is the simple reason for where and who Crawford is.
Fighting is part of who he actually is.
That’s who he is.
You ask Terence Crawford, who is Terence Crawford?
There’s only one real, true answer.
A fighter.
A champion.
Crawford is always training or working on aspects of his boxing year round and no matter how many millions he stacks up every year, he’s always working on the sweet science.
Just because someone is a multi-millionaire is not an excuse to take things easy in life and Crawford is a prime example of this. Always stay in that damn lab no matter what.
Crawford is a fighter and a champion until the end.
Terence Crawford is the Michael Jordan of these boxing times we are living through right now.
The reason why Michael Jordan is the best all-time basketball player is the same as Crawford is today in boxing and Jordan said it best one time:
“I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
