A biography for Terence Crawfordhasn’t been written yet.
“Amir Khan is a great fighter, I have a lot of respect for him.”
“It's always special to fight.”
“I never put it to where I say, 'I'm just this big pay-per-view star,' or 'I wanna be the No. 1 pay-per-view star that got all the ratings.' No, I was just like, 'I'm gonna be a world champion. That's what I'm gonna be.'”
“My first goal was to become world champion and I did that against Ricky Burns at 135. Once I conquered that, I set myself another goal and another goal.”
“I thank God for blessing me with the tools that he blessed me with to be where I am.”
“This is boxing, everybody fights everybody.”
“I was never the person to try and be the centre of attention or to talk a lot. I was always the person who, if you say something, I'd just punch you in your face. For real.”
“I can box, I can bang, I can switch, I can punch, I'm not slow.”
“Viktor Postol is a great champion and he was dodged for a reason, but I ain't the type to duck and dodge anyone.”
“A lot of people try to take away the things I have done and try to give other people credit for the things they have done and won't give me the same amount of credit in the ring for doing the same things or more.”
“A lot of people were wondering how I'd perform against a big, tall, rugged fighter like Jeff Horn. I think I handled it with an A-plus.”
“Whenever my kids have a tournament, or something going on, I make it a point to make sure I'm there for them every step of the way. That's real important to me.”
“If I see a fan talking down on my resume or another fighter, it just motivates me to go out there and prove them wrong and fight the fighters that they say will beat me or that will give me trouble in the ring. They ain't going to never really give you no credit, no matter what you do.”
“I told Gamboa he picked the wrong fighter and the wrong city, and I was right. I never felt any danger in the fight.”
“I feel like me fighting Pacquiao and beating him would boost my career higher than its ever gonna go.”
“I need that 147-pound belt.”
“When you fight a shorter fighter, you attack with uppercuts.”
“I'm just ready to go out there and prove to everybody that I'm not as small as everybody says I am.”
“People will be the judge. They can rate the fights when I win.”
“Pacquiao earned the right to go out how he wants to go out. He had fought everybody there is to fight - when they was there to fight. He fought all the top names. Eight-division champion. He accomplished everything there is to do in the sport of boxing.”
