Editorial: Is Terence Crawford’s time with Top Rank Boxing nearing its end?

Terence Crawford’s lone appearance of 2020 feels less like a marquee attraction and more like a waste of time.

The reigning WBO welterweight champion (36-0, 27 KOs) headlines a Top Rank on ESPN card against former IBF champion Kell Brook (39-2, 27 KOs) in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Brook hasn’t competed at welterweight since Errol Spence Jr broke his orbital and took his belt away in 2017. Truth be told, Brook hasn’t had a meaningful win since he upset Shawn Porter to become a world champion way back in 2014. While it is possible that Brook digs deep to find some of his past glory days, it’s far more likely that Crawford blows Brook out and ends the Brit’s relevance at the high-end of the sport.
