2020s (so far): Terence Crawford
In a sign of the times, whereas Robinson, Armstrong, and Pep all fought over 100 times in a decade, Crawford has so far turned out on just five occasions since the calendar turned to 2020. His upcoming outing against Alvarez may well be his last, win or lose. But in an era when the best boxers are at least as likely to be Ukrainian, Mexican, Japanese, or British as Americans, Crawford has elevated himself above his compatriots in terms of both skill – a smooth switch-hitter, he displays both smooth boxing and a spiteful desire to punish his opponents - and accomplishments: his 2023 annihilation of purported rival Errol Spence Jr. made him the first man in the four-belt era to become undisputed champion in two weight classes. Should he beat Alvarez, then even if he doesn’t fight again, there’s a solid chance he’ll still be the decade’s top dog on December 31, 2029; that said, the likes of Jesse Rodriguez, Jaron Ennis, and Vergil Ortiz Jr. will feel there is plenty of time yet to usurp him.
