Boxing Champion Issues Surprising Terence Crawford Retirement Prediction

Others feel like Crawford is simply the best boxer in the world right now, and his speed and agility advantage will make it so that he has an easy victory over Canelo. Regardless of what fans believe, all eyes will be on Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 13.

Stephen Fulton Makes Fascinating Terence Crawford Prediction

One thing is for certain about this fight: Canelo and Crawford are both making life-changing money. However, this bout seems to be more about legacy than the money for Crawford.

And Stephen Fulton (the reigning WBC featherweight champion and former WBO and WBC super bantamweight champion) shared an interesting take on what Crawford's future will look like if he gets his hand raised on Saturday when speaking with Fight Hub TV on September 7.

“If Crawford wins, the sky is the limit for him. He'll probably retire," Fulton said, per an X post from Fight Hub TV. "Who knows? But if Crawford wins, it makes his resume 10 times better.”

After Fulton's interviewer noted that Crawford has gone on record saying that he'll be a top-five boxer of all-time if he beats Canelo, Fulton added, "That's major... It's hard to become undisputed, m***********! People be hiding, holding belts hostage. Then, when they lose, they want an opportunity."

There's no doubt that Crawford will have nothing left to accomplish in the sport if he beats Canelo, at least in terms of his resumé.

Yet, if he does climb this mountain, he's sure to keep earning staggering amounts of money in future fights, which could be enough to entice him to keep competing for years to come.
