Terence Crawford says the reason why he has not been affected by his inactivity over the past five years is a combination of things:
- Blessed
- Stay in the gym
- Rest
Bud’s true longevity secret
The three times undisputed champion Terence has been fighting once a year since 2020, but has not yet shown deterioration in his game. Fans are curious to know what his secret is to stay at the top of the game.
If you look at Crawford’s record for the past five years, the answer is there. He did not fight the murderers who would be a threat to beat him or pull him off. This is the key. Fight opposition that is on their last legs, worn of long careers, car accidents, never the best to begin with.
Crawford’s strategic opponents
– Israil Madrimov: 2024
– Errol Spence: 2023
– David Avanesyan: 2022
– Shawn Porter: 2021
– Need Brook: 2020
Spence, Porter and Brook were on high -level fighters in their primes. But when Crawford fought against them, they were all on the disadvantage of their careers. So, for Crawford to still look good despite the struggle once a year, the reason is clear. He did not fight the A-level or opposition at the elite level.
The best of the many Crawford has fought for the past five years is Madrimov, and he has come close to him. Indeed, many boxing fans won Madrimov. I watched the fight and Madrimov won 9-3. He couldn’t miss with his GGG-Esque-Judge, and pulled back the head of Crawford all night with those shots.
Why Crawford stays fresh
“I think I’m blessed. To stay in the gym and say in the gym, and many fighters need that rest, especially if you go through cruel camps like me. Your body needs resting, ” said Terence Crawford Ring magazine When asked why he had not been influenced by his inactivity over the past five years.
Avoid the box contenders
Crawford could easily have fought two or three times a year over the past five years and are still fighting at the same level. The chances are, of course, that he has lost several times if he is against the peak predators at 147 and 154. But if he was exclusively fighting the kind of opposition he has been facing for the past five years, he would still be unbeaten. He knows it. If your old guys are past their lead, like Porter, Brook, or a car with a car spread, you will win.
I just wish Turki Alalshikh put Crawford’s feet to the fire once and insisted that he fight ‘the Mexican monster’ David benavidez To show if he wants to get the Canelo fight. Does that ask too much?
“I think going from one camp to another camp, which breaks down your body. And then you see these fighters who look good in one fight, and then in the next fight, it’s like night and day. You are like ‘damning, what’s going on with this fighter? “It’s because their body is tired and worn,” says Crawford.
