Terence Crawford Is The Face Of Boxing, Says Jaron Ennis
Who is the face of boxing? It's a polarizing question.

However, most believe that in recent years, Canelo Alvarez had holds the throne. After losing to Terence Crawford on Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, however, Jaron Ennis is convinced he’s been replaced.

“He just beat Canelo, the face of boxing,” Ennis said on The Ariel Helwani Show. “So that makes Crawford the face of boxing at the moment.”

Although he’s rarely had close fights, many questioned whether or not Crawford (42-0, 31 KOs) could get it done against Alvarez at super middleweight.

Age wasn’t on his side; he was 37 at the time. Size wasn't on his side either after moving up to weight divisions.




Still, none of it played a factor on the night as the Nebraska native boxed, brawled, and outmuscled Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs) to a unanimous decision victory to become the first male undisputed champion in three weight classes.

In the immediate aftermath, Crawford has to decide his next move. He was noncommittal on remaining at 168 pounds and flirted with the idea of heading down to the middleweight division.

Some are hopeful that a matchup with Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs, 1 NC) will take place. But even with the Philadelphia star now holding the WBA interim junior middleweight title, Crawford threw cold water on that idea, stating that he has no intention of returning to 154 pounds.

Ennis, of course, would love the opportunity to fight the future Hall of Famer, but he knows the ball isn’t in his court. More importantly, he knows Crawford has a ton of options.

“Let that man enjoy his victory,” Ennis continued. “He earned the right to fight whoever he wanna fight. He earned that.”
