He was a top rated lightweight in the mid 1980s who just fell short of a world title. He was 62 years of age.

He was a great stylist. From what I’ve read, he served honorably as a police officer in Philadelphia for over 25 years. There are also numerous stories of his general good deeds. Truly a life well spent.

I remember when he fought Rockin Robin Blake. Blake was the star and destined for big things. Huge favorite in an all Pro Blake crowd.
Crawley switched back and forth from southpaw to right handed smooth and effortlessly. Blake couldn't touch him. This was his 1st loss and things went down from there.
Crawley wasnt a big puncher but like his nickname glided around d his opponents switching up smooth as silk.rip
