Can Terence Crawford become a superstar?

We asked a panel of experts whether Terence Crawford can become a superstar

Can Terence Crawford become a superstar?
Mikey Williams/Top Rank

Lee Selby (IBF featherweight champion): Yes, 100 per cent. I really, really rate Terence Crawford. I think if he fights Manny Pacquiao, he’d knock him out and that would make him a superstar instantly.

Josh Warrington (Featherweight contender): Yeah, you’ve got to respect someone like him – he always raises his level no matter the opponent. He can adapt to any style. He’s not one to shout about, he just gets on with his business.

Liam Walsh (Super-feather contender): If it was based on ability, then yes, as he’s one of the best in the world. But he isn’t brash or loud and lavish with his spending, he isn’t outspoken, so I’m not sure if he will, which is a shame.

Gary Lockett (Top British trainer): Absolutely. He’s a great fighter – now Ricky Burns’ loss to him doesn’t look so bad. I think he’ll grow to be one of the best fighters on the planet.
