From Canelo Alvarez to Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor, Mayweather’s list of in-ring victims reflects some of the best names of world combat.

But there may be a modern-era legend who can surpass all of it and touch new heights. Apart from records, boxing skills can also play a pivotal role in shaping one’s legacy. While Mayweather is often accused of delivering boring fights, WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford might just become a better version of ‘TBE’ Mayweather.
