Crawford began his career as a lightweight wrestler and has been a three-division champion ever since.
Terence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson
The unbeaten WBO welterweight title holder is now the American, who is 34 years old, and has hinted at a move to light-middleweight.
Champ Jermell Charlo (31), warned against jumping, but Stevenson, 24 revealed that Crawford has had to deal with more.
FightHub TV told him that he believed Bud would surprise. He doesn't believe Bud is strong, says Charlo.
"He is talking about being the knockout performer. Bud is not the one I see. Bud is my favorite fighter overall.

"We have witnessed him struggle with Tony Harrison. No disrespect to Tony Harrison, Bud feels like he is higher than him.
He's not saying that Bud will beat him. People are often surprised at how strong Bud is.
"I've seen him lift some heavyweights at the gym. He hurts 178-pounders.
"I won't name names, but there are fighters out there now. They have been hurt and put to death by him.

Crawford is currently competing at 10st 7lb. The lightest heavyweight, still weighing 14st, makes the difference in sparring large.
He will remain at welterweight and Errol Spence (32), will be his super-fight.
Spence, the owner of the WBC/IBF belts, unites them with the WBA version held Yordenis Ugas (35), on April 16.
A win for Crawford back in Dallas could mean a dream-bout.
Stevenson stated that he believed it was a great fight. Errol Spence is someone I respect greatly. I would love to be there to see that fight.
