Nobody was able to solve the puzzle on how to beat Terence Crawford.
The American hung up the gloves in December with a perfect 42-0 record, after a stellar career which saw him defeat all comers.
Those include the likes of Errol Spence, Shawn Porter, Israil Madrimov and Viktor Postol, as ‘Bud’ went on his way to becoming undisputed at 140lbs and 147lbs, along with further world title reigns at lightweight and super-welterweight.
No doubt the best win of his career came in his final fight though, as Crawford successfully stepped up two weight divisions to dethrone super-middleweight king Canelo Alvarez, becoming the first male fighter in history to be undisputed in three separate divisions in the process.
While ‘Bud’ never looked in danger of losing a fight, he has named one man who he thinks would have had what it takes to hand him his first loss.
Posting on social media, Crawford reveals that he thinks he would have found things tough were he to have ever fought Floyd Mayweather.
“I be paying homage to the ones before me but Mayweather the only one I would have had problems with because his mind.”
Just like Crawford, Mayweather retired unbeaten, ending his professional career in 2017 with a perfect 50-0 record.
During his incredible tenure he secured wins over fighters such as Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya and even Crawford foe Canelo, as Mayweather became a five-division world champion from super-featherweight to super-welterweight.
A fantasy fight between Mayweather and Crawford is often debated amongst the boxing world, and Floyd’s uncle Jeff has even weighed in himself with a surprise verdict.
