If you’re a boxing fan, you know that Terence Crawford defeated Canelo Alvarez during their iconic superfight on September 13, thus making Crawford the undisputed super middleweight champion and the first male boxer to ever capture three unified division titles.
There’s no doubt that Crawford can be considered the greatest fighter of this era after jumping up two weight classes to beat Canelo. The most pertinent question is now whether he’s the greatest male boxer of this century, with the only other person who could potentially compete with him in this regard being undefeated former world champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather.
Canelo Alvarez is now the only man to have fought both Crawford and Mayweather. And he made his opinion on which is better extremely clear during his post-fight press conference, when he said, “I think Crawford is way better than Floyd Mayweather.”
