In a recent interview with Andi Purewal for Boxing News, boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. shared his thoughts on Terence Crawford's impressive win against Errol Spence Jr. Jones believes that Crawford's victory solidifies him as the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He explains that the only thing stopping Crawford from claiming this title was the lack of high-level opposition, which has now been rectified with the win against Spence.
Jones also reflects on his own career, noting that it took him a while to secure a valuable opponent who could elevate his status. He believes that a similar situation has occurred with Crawford, who, at the age of 35, has finally achieved recognition as a two-time undisputed champion.
When asked about potential challengers for Crawford, Jones mentions Jaron Ennis as a formidable opponent and offers his thoughts on a potential showdown against the undisputed light middleweight champion, Jermell Charlo.
Regarding Spence, Jones explains that his performance against Crawford didn't surprise him, given the repercussions of his car accident. He commends Crawford for his skill and adaptability, stating that he has witnessed Crawford make adjustments on the fly.
