Terence Crawford's undefeated streak is being questioned by Shakur Stevenson, who thinks Floyd Mayweather Jr could have taken him down in their primes.
What happened?
Shakur Stevenson recently shared his thoughts on a potential fight between Terence Crawford and Floyd Mayweather Jr, calling it a '50/50' match.
Stevenson mentioned that Crawford's southpaw style might give Mayweather trouble, but also noted that Crawford had issues with orthodox fighters like Egidijus Kavaliauskas.
Why it matters for Terence Crawford
Terence Crawford's retirement with a 42-0 record has sparked discussions about his legacy and how he would fare against other boxing greats.
Crawford's win over Canelo Alvarez in September cemented his status as a five-division world champion.
What comes next?
Floyd Mayweather Jr's potential rematch with Manny Pacquiao in September could impact his 50-fight win streak.
Shakur Stevenson's comments have added fuel to the debate about Terence Crawford's skills and how he would perform against top opponents.
And Crawford's performance against Yuriorkis Gamboa, where he won but had some close rounds, is being cited as an example of his potential vulnerabilities.
But Stevenson's assessment of the fantasy fight between Crawford and Mayweather is based on their past performances and styles.
So the question remains whether Terence Crawford's skills would be enough to take down Floyd Mayweather Jr in a hypothetical match.
Crawford's retirement has left many wondering what could have been if he had faced other top fighters like Mayweather.
As Stevenson noted, Crawford's southpaw style is a key factor in his success, but also a potential weakness against certain opponents.
