Terence Crawford retired as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters at the end of last year, and now, ‘Bud’ has named the three men whom he believe will lead the next generation of boxing and take over the sport. In an interview with Ring Champs, Crawford named Ennis among the three Americans he anticipates will take over the sport, despite their recent rivalry. “Bam [Jesse Rodriguez], Shakur [Stevenson], Boots [Ennis].” Meanwhile, Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez conquered a third weight-class when he recently dispatched of WBA bantamweight world champion Antonio Vargas, and the Texan is next seeking a unification with WBC champion Christian Medina ahead of a fascinating showdown with Naoya Inoue next year. Lastly, Shakur Stevenson made history by becoming boxing’s third-youngest four-division world champion when he dominated Teofimo Lopez to capture the WBO super-lightweight world title in January, athough it is unclear whether he will keep hold of the belt, after recently announcing his move to Zuffa Boxing.
