Known for his superlative ring IQ and smart shot selection, he was undisputed at both lightweight and welterweight with his most impressive win being a dismantling of Errol Spence Jr in July 2023.
Next time out, Crawford moves up to 154 lbs. His first fight is against WBA champion Israil Madrimov. Should he come through that, he has been linked with everyone from Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez to Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and a Spence rematch, though some of those are more realistic than others.
Speaking to YSM Sports Media, Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn thinks his man ‘Boots’ would be ‘Bud’s toughest test.

“I don’t think he would want that fight. He would probably say what’s in it for me. And the answer is hopefully a lot of money. Crawford is a brilliant fighter. I’m sure he’s not afraid of anyone. I’m sure he believes he beats Jaron Ennis. But also ‘BoMac’, Crawford, they’re incredibly knowledgable boxing people.
They know how good Ennis is. That’s the toughest fight out there for them. I don’t think they’ll be queuing up for it but once the demand is there and once His Excellency has said he’ll make the fight I’m sure they’ll take it.”
