Terence Crawford, the undefeated boxing legend, has made a bold claim about his own hero in the ring. In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Crawford revealed his admiration for a fighter who, in his prime, was seemingly invincible. But who is this iconic figure, and why does Crawford believe no one could beat him?
Crawford, who retired in 2025 with an impeccable record, including five-division world championships and undisputed titles in three weight classes, has a boxing hero of his own: Roy Jones Jr. Crawford believes that Jones, during his prime in the mid-to-late 1990s and early 2000s, was unbeatable. And this isn't just Crawford's opinion; many boxing enthusiasts consider Jones to be one of the greatest fighters of all time.
Jones' record speaks for itself. With a 49-1 record at one point, his only loss was a controversial disqualification against Montell Griffin, which he swiftly avenged with a knockout win in the first round of their rematch. But here's where it gets interesting: Crawford thinks Jones could have retired undefeated if he had called it quits towards the end of his prime.
This statement is sure to spark debate among boxing fans. Was Jones truly invincible during his peak years? And what about other undefeated champions like Floyd Mayweather, Joe Calzaghe, and Andre Ward? Could they have matched Jones' dominance?
The world of boxing is filled with passionate opinions and endless debates. What's your take on Crawford's claim? Is there a fighter you believe was unbeatable in their prime? Share your thoughts and let's keep the conversation going!
