Despite being viewed as one of the absolute best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet, Terence Crawford has long been dogged by a lack of appropriate competition. He takes one big step to address those concerns on Nov. 20 when he faces two-time former welterweight champion Shawn Porter in a pay-per-view showdown.
Crawford will put his WBO welterweight title on the line against Porter, who has held both the IBF and WBC welterweight titles in the past and is two fights removed from a thrilling war with Errol Spence Jr. where he lost the WBC title and failed to win Spence’s IBF belt.
Crawford is a perfect 37-0 in his pro career with 28 wins by knockout. After holding titles at both lightweight and becoming undisputed junior welterweight champion, he captured the WBO welterweight title with a TKO of Jeff Horn in June 2018. He has made four defenses of the title, all by TKO, though criticism of his level of opposition has remained.
That criticism is largely a product of Crawford being a Top Rank fighter while the rest of the welterweight elite fight under the PBC umbrella. Porter is one of those PBC fighters, giving Crawford the opportunity to meet a new level of challenge.
