As Terence Crawford Had Jaws-Dropping World Wide, Stephen a Smith Takes Strong Stance Only to Be Endorsed by Shaquille O?Neal

Terence Crawford‘s victory over Errol Spence Jr. brought the entire sports world together. Whether rivals or even people on opposite sides of arguments, everyone was in awe. Such was the freakish dominance on display. It even brought Stephen A. Smith and Shaquille O’Neal together. Crawford’s dominant display was so awe-inspiring that it brought two men, who could never agree on anything, on the same page.

While some might call Smith’s comments about Crawford hyperbole, Shaq was in full support.

Shaquille O’Neal and Stephen A. are all in on the Crawford train

Very rarely do you see a display as dominant as the one by the new Welterweight champion. While Shaquille O’Neal is an avid fan of all things related to fighting, from MMA to boxing, even he was left speechless after Crawford’s ruthless display.

To crown him with all the superlatives doesn’t feel out of place. In fact, the former Los Angeles Lakers big man encouraged it. When Stephen A. Smith first went about crowning Terence as among the greatest ever, it felt a touch too soon.

Not for the Miami Heat big man, though. Smith’s comments were backed up by him. “Terence Crawford has solidified, in my mind, the number one pound-for-pound fighter on the planet…He has solidified himself as one of the greatest ever at the welterweight division.”

That the 7-footer was ready to side with Stephen A. just days after the former hurled insults at him on live TV speaks to the insane display by the first-ever two-time undisputed champion.

The dominance of Terence Crawford

When the match first became official, it was a genuine once-in-a-lifetime fight. A dream match for the ages. The hype was unreal. For the first time, two undefeated boxers went head to head. Think Floyd-Tyson, only both are in their prime.
