Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr has stirred debate by claiming Terence Crawford deserves more appreciation than Floyd Mayweather because he “challenges himself.” Mayweather retired undefeated at 50-0 after stopping Conor McGregor in 2017 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers ever. Crawford, meanwhile, cemented his own legacy by becoming a three-division undisputed champion, defeating Canelo Álvarez in September to move to 42-0. Speaking about who he rates higher, Jones told reporters: “To me, [Crawford] is, because he challenges himself. Floyd’s a great fighter—sharp, slick, one of the best ever—but he never really challenged himself the way Terence…

The proposed Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act seeks to form unified boxing bodies with independent titles and rankings, similar to the UFC model. The California State Athletic Commission unanimously endorsed the proposal, while the Association of Professional Boxing Commissions strongly opposed it. De La Hoya warned that such changes would…
