Ryan Garcia believes that Terence Crawford has left his legacy on the table after retiring from the game.
Last September, Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez competed in one among the most important boxing fights of all time on the Allegiant Stadium.
‘Bud’ Crawford went on to attain an enormous upset, becoming the undisputed super middleweight champion, bringing Canelo’s future to an end.
Just a number of months following their historic clash, Crawford announced his official retirement from the game of boxing, retiring as one among the best boxers of all time.
Crawford calls Ryan Garcia crazy for his tackle retirement
Despite his retirement from the game, the 38-year-old continues to share his knowledge and he was recently involved in Shakur Stevenson‘s win over Teofimo Lopez.
And although he’s widely considered probably the greatest boxers of his generation, fellow boxing star Ryan Garcia has claimed that Crawford ‘left his legacy on the table’ by not giving young fighters the possibility to challenge him, questioning his retirement.
“I consider Terence left more of his legacy on the table. Just my opinion,” Garcia said in a post on X.
“Undisputed don’t mean anything when you know truly you didn’t challenge yourself. I’m speaking from knowing boxing and speaking from the guts as a fighter. Not only a random that may only see the surface level of the sport,” he continued.
Garcia recently won his first world title when he scored the unanimous decision win over Mario Barrios to turn out to be the WBC welterweight champion.
Then this Monday afternoon, Crawford afforded his fans the possibility to ask him questions on X, and one fan asked him his thoughts on Garcia’s comments.
“He’s crazy lol,” Crawford responded.
Some fans are still holding out hope that the 38-year-old may return to the game despite retiring, nevertheless, he stays adamant that he can be staying retired.
