Terence Crawford Flirts With Boxing Immortality

Posted by Craig Reaser on August 10, 2023 - 6:50pm


In the history of boxing, less than a dozen fighters have started a career with an unblemished 40-0 mark. Usually, the bludgening of 40 fights would end your carer somewhere along the way. Only true legends have fought much beyond 40 bouts. Those iconic names are synonymous with monuments, movies, and statues across the world. Here are a few in the partheon of boxing's modern era, and the list could soon include Terrence (Bud) Crawford:  `Muhammad Ali (56-5-0, 37 KOs), `Sugar Ray Robinson (175-19-6, 106 KOs), Joe Lewis (68-3-0, 54 KOs), Mike Tyson (50-6, 44KOs), Floyd Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs), `George Foremen (76-5-0, 68 KOs), Evander Holyfield (44-10-2, 29 KOs), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 KOs), Rocky Marciano (49-0-0, 43 KOs), Joe Frasier (32-4-1), Manny (Paq Man) Pacquiano (62-8-2, 39 KOs), Roberto Duran (103-16, 70 KOs)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Crawford is now the undisputed welterweight champion in all four categories (WBO, WBC, IBF &WBA). That's special. Real special. In this case, a second shot at life pushed Crawford to fight for better. Better for himself, his family, his son...right into boxing's short list of the everlasting. Sitting in the  driver's seat of his 1986 Cutlass, he began to count his winnings after shooting dice under a street lamp in Omaha, and winnning, when a stray bullet went through the rear window and into Crawford's head, just above his neck and below his right ear. Had the bullet landed a fraction of an inch closer to his brain, the shot could've been fatal. The gun was fired by a man at that same dice game on the street, aimed at another individual. Crawford was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Contemplating life shifted his mindset, and there was no going back to the old cycle of immature decisions that could've ended his life. "When I got shot, it changed my life tremendously, and put me on the right path...And that's when everything started happening there for me with boxing and my family and just everything. My life just took a big turn and started going uphill." Shortly after, his son was born, and the legend of Terrence 'Bud' Crawford - the father, professional, and business man - had a storybook opening. Less than two later, he was back in the ring for his fifth pro fight. Another knockout (5-0).
