World Champion Says He’d Beat Terence Crawford ‘Easier Than You Think’: “I Do Everything Better” – Seconds Out

Terence Crawford has as strong an argument as any for the tag of best boxer on the planet.

The 36-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska has been a world champion in three divisions, undisputed in two, and is set to make his super-welterweight debut in an attempt to make that four.

Despite his 147lbs days being behind him, Jaron Ennis, current IBF Welterweight Champion, wants his shot – so much so that he’s willing to meet ‘Bud’ at 154.

Promoter Eddie Hearn, who recently signed the Philly native, calls it the biggest fight in boxing and Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh has expressed an interest in putting the money up to stage it.

‘Boot’s – coming off a stoppage win over David Avanesyan – is considered an elite talent, and his 32-0 record with 19 early finishes is as impressive as any, but he would step through the ropes an underdog.

In an interview with The Only Kayla, the 27-year-old said a victory may be ‘easier than people think’ because, in his mind, he does ‘everything better’ than Crawford.

“Me being hungry. That hunger. Whatever he thinks he can do, I can do better. I’m smart, I’m sharp. I’m trying to tell y’all, when I fight someone that’s better it’s gonna make me better. People don’t understand that. You fight better competition it makes you better, it makes you think, you go to the next level. And the fight might even be easier than what you think. Than what other people think. Cause I know what I’m gonna do.”

Crawford faces undefeated WBA Super-Welterweight Champion Israil Madrimov on August 3 in Los Angeles.
