Crawford recently added to his already rock-solid legacy by becoming the first male boxer to become an undisputed champion across three weight classes in the four-belt era.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Bud\u2019 Crawford did this by putting on a masterclass performance, jumping up multiple weight classes to defeat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/boxing-news\/canelo-alvarez\/former-canelo-alvarez-victor-congratulates-terence-crawford-on-canelo-win\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Canelo Alvarez<\/a> in a highly viewed Netflix broadcast. With Crawford on top of the world as the undisputed super middleweight champion, it makes sense that a professional provocateur like Danis would interject himself into the situation to some degree.<\/p>\n<p>Taking to his personal X platform to touch on Crawford\u2019s monumental win over Alvarez on September 13th, Danis said,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongrats to Terence Crawford, but what\u2019s the point of boxing when I could strangle him in under 30 seconds\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Terence Crawford could beat Ilia Topuria in MMA or boxing, according to a surging boxing star<\/p>\n<p>The back-and-forth between Terence Crawford as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/ilia-topuria\/ilia-topuria-warned-to-avoid-welterweight-by-jack-della-maddalenas-coach\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ilia Topuria<\/a> has taken over headlines recently. Topuria has illustrated confidence that he believes could defeat \u2018Bud\u2019 in a boxing bout. But a star of the sweet science thinks Crawford could even beat the UFC champion under MMA rules. While Crawford has a massive legacy under Queensberry Rules, he does have some wrestling experience in his formative years as a youth in Nebraska.<\/p>\n<p>The sentiment about Crawford beating Topuria in mixed martial arts was expressed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1o3JVEW3S54\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Shakur Stevenson<\/a> during a recent interview on The Ariel Helwani Show. Stevenson stated,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose [UFC] guys need to leave Bud alone. If you\u2019re talking about getting in the boxing ring with him, you\u2019re not going to last more than one round, I don\u2019t think. Bud is a guy, that I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he went to the UFC and beat the s*** out of some guys too. He\u2019s got a great wrestling background, I\u2019ve seen him wrestle real wrestlers on some everyday s***.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that dude\u2019s just different. Bud\u2019s bigger than [Topuria], I just wouldn\u2019t put it past him. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised, come fight night, if they do an MMA fight, if Bud done knocked him out or choked him to death, something like that. I just wouldn\u2019t be surprised.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dillon Danis tipped his proverbial cap to Terence Crawford but also made it clear he feels like he&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":153475,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,11080,785,85,959],"class_list":{"0":"post-153474","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-dillon-danis","12":"tag-mma","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-terence-crawford"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153474\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
