In the world of boxing, opinions are as diverse as the techniques used in the ring. A recent podcast appearance by Terence Crawford, one of the sport’s most celebrated figures, added fuel to the fire of this ever-evolving debate. Crawford guest-starred on Barstool Sports‘ popular podcast, with one particular segment gaining widespread attention.
The segment in question involved Crawford being asked about his top five picks in boxing right now. It seemed a simple enough query, yet his response would set the stage for a vibrant discussion among boxing enthusiasts worldwide. Crawford, who is scheduled to take on unified Welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. in July, took on the task head-on.
The Nebraska native named Shakur Stevenson as his number one, a commendation that Shakur gratefully shared on his own Instagram story. Following Shakur, Crawford named Gervonta Davis, Canelo Alvarez, and Tyson Fury in no particular order. However, astute listeners might notice something peculiar about Crawford’s “top five.”

As is often the case in boxing debates, the conversation soon heated up, especially over the positions of Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Shakur Stevenson. One fervent supporter argued in favor of Davis, stating, “Tank definitely number 1,” thereby challenging Crawford’s top pick. This sentiment seemed universal, as another fan vehemently agreed, asserting, “Shakur not over tank! Stop it.”
Amidst these varied opinions, one user noticed an anomaly in Crawford’s list, which added yet another layer to the ongoing discussion. “He only named 4 for top 5 right now,” they pointed out, sparking additional intrigue around Crawford’s rankings.
