In August, Terence Crawford will be celebrating the fifth anniversary of his most recent credible pound-for-pound worthy achievement.
Over the equivalent timeframe, Jermell Charlo has competed in eight world title bouts, six of those fights were against current/former world champions, he became a two-time champion at 154lbs and he also unified all four super-welterweight titles.
Accomplishments must have expiry dates when evaluating the
CURRENT cream of the crop!
Anyway, no one is suggesting that Terence Crawford isn’t a fantastic fighter, because he’s a dead-cert first-ballot future Hall-of-Famer in my mind, but it would be criminal if The RING, ESPN & TBRB don’t revise their next rankings and include Jermell Charlo’s name in their top-ten pound-for-pound ratings.
And to be fair, Jermell Charlo has achieved more than his close buddy, Errol Spence Jr.
