Teddy Atlas, a former boxing trainer who has transitioned into an analyst, stands as one of the most esteemed figures in the sport when it comes to expertly analyzing fighters and fights.
Given his expertise and knowledge, it comes as no surprise that Teddy Atlas has extensively discussed the highly anticipated clash between Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford, a bout that has been lingering with frustrating anticipation for several years.
The announcement of the long-awaited match this month brought immense joy to fans, who eagerly anticipate witnessing the showdown between the undefeated welterweight champions. Mark your calendars for July 29, as Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford will finally go head-to-head in Las Vegas.
While providing a thorough analysis of the upcoming fight on his podcast, Teddy Atlas acknowledged the skills and accomplishments of both fighters. However, he took a moment to share his perspective, revealing that he considers Crawford to be the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
Expressing his strong admiration for Terence Crawford, Teddy Atlas confidently asserted his belief on his podcast, stating, "Crawford – one thing I’ll say to begin with, and everybody knows I think a lot of him, I think I got him number one pound for pound. A lot of people disagree, I don’t. I’ve got Spence right up there too, but I have Crawford number one."
Teddy Atlas showered Terence Crawford with praise, highlighting his exceptional adaptability and unparalleled instincts inside the ring. During his analysis, Atlas emphasized Crawford's mastery in controlling the range with his remarkable reach, commending his ability to set up counters while also being comfortable engaging in close-quarter battles.
"He controls range really well with his length. He’s got long arms. He sets up counters, but he can also go in close and fight with you too. He has great instincts – matter of fact, he might have the greatest instincts I’ve ever seen in a fighter … And I’ve seen a lot of fighters."
