Crawford is widely regarded as a boxing superstar in the making. He is a two-weight world champion, unbeaten in 27 fights with 19 knockouts. To date he has displayed a dazzling blend of fight-ending power, defensive skill, speed, boxing ability, ring intelligence and, above all, the ability to adapt to the circumstances facing him. We saw it in his fight against Yuriorkis Gamboa when he dropped most if not all of the early rounds, but then made the tactical decision to switch to the southpaw stance, stupefying the Cuban phenom, turning the tables on him and knocking him out in the ninth round in electrifying fashion. This might all seem like hyperbole to some, but Crawford really is that good. There’s a reason why The Ring Magazine, the ‘Bible of Boxing’, currently ranks him as the sixth best fighter, pound for pound, on the planet. Moreover, at 28 years of age and in his prime, you get the sense that the best of him is yet to come.
