Terence Crawford is a top pound-for-pound contender and even after fighting professionally over 35 times since 2008, ‘Bud’ remains undefeated. The boxing community’s go-to topic of discussion or debate is almost always around Canelo Alvarez enlisted above Terence Crawford in the p4p rankings.

Judging him by his flawless skills, in-ring abilities, and complete domination at lightweight, super-lightweight, and welterweight, it becomes easy to understand why fans are always debating Canelo-Crawford pound-for-pound rankings.

Many rank Crawford as the top p4p fighter, right below Canelo Alvarez as he has still not faced welterweight champions like Errol Spence Jr., Yordenis Ugas, Radzhab Butaev, and even some other top contenders.

However, time and time again, Crawford proved the doubters wrong by defeating some of the best in the sport. As he climbs the ranks to cement his name in the sport as an all-time greatest, here’s a look into his professional career, and the people around him that push him to achieve greatness.

Terence Crawford professional career

After a 3-year-long amateur career with 25 wins and 11 losses, Terence Crawford decided to turn pro in 2008. He entered the pro-boxing domain with a mean knockout of Brian Cummings. 13 years later, he is still knocking people out and outclassing most of his opponents.

Crawford bagged his first WBO lightweight title in 2014 against Ricky Burns. He would then go on to defend twice that year and then decided to move up a weight class the next year.
