Pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford<\/a> has revealed the five greatest fighters of all time in his opinion.<\/p>\n

The unbeaten 37-year-old from Omaha is over 40 fights into his exceptional professional career, where he has captured world titles across four weight classes up until this point.<\/p>\n

As he enters the final chapters of his career, \u2018Bud\u2019 is currently preparing for his highly anticipated \u2018mega-fight\u2019 with Canelo Alvarez<\/a>, which takes place on Saturday September 13 in Las Vegas and will be contested for the Mexican icon\u2019s undisputed super-middleweight championship. He says the fight is about legacy, and has been discussing others in the sport who made their mark.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru & Henry<\/a>, \u2018Bud\u2019 Crawford didn\u2019t hesitate when asked to name the five fighters that he believes are the greatest to have ever laced up the gloves.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou got Sugar Ray Robinson, you got Sugar Ray Leonard, you got Floyd Mayweather, you got Marvin Hagler, you got Roberto Duran, that\u2019s five for you right there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Robinson is often seen as the greatest ever, blending speed, power, and skill with dominance across weight classes. Inspired by that man, Leonard won fans with speed and heart, beating legends in thrilling fights. Floyd Mayweather\u2019s unmatched defense and ring IQ kept him undefeated in all 50 fights. Marvin Hagler was a relentless, iron-chinned champion who defined toughness. Roberto Duran brought ferocity and skill, earning greatness across four divisions.<\/p>\n

Crawford will have his sights set on proving to the boxing world that he deserves to be in the \u2018all time great\u2019 conversation should he defeat Canelo next month.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 37-year-old could write his name into the boxing history books once again as victory over the Mexican great would see him become the first male fighter in boxing history to win an undisputed championship in three divisions, having already accomplished this at super-lightweight and welterweight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford has revealed the five greatest fighters of all time in his opinion.
