Despite his retirement from the sport, the 38-year-old continues to share his knowledge and he was recently involved in Shakur Stevenson‘s win over Teofimo Lopez.

And although he is widely regarded as one of the best boxers of his generation, fellow boxing star Ryan Garcia has claimed that Crawford ‘left his legacy on the table’ by not giving young fighters the chance to challenge him, questioning his retirement.

“I believe Terence left more of his legacy on the table. Just my opinion,” Garcia said in a post on X.

“Undisputed don’t mean anything if you know truly you didn’t challenge yourself. I’m speaking from knowing boxing and speaking from the heart as a fighter. Not just a random that can only see the surface level of the game,” he continued.

Garcia recently won his first world title when he scored the unanimous decision win over Mario Barrios to become the WBC welterweight champion.

Then this Monday afternoon, Crawford afforded his fans the chance to ask him questions on X, and one fan asked him his thoughts on Garcia’s comments.

“He’s crazy lol,” Crawford responded.

Some fans are still holding out hope that the 38-year-old may return to the sport despite retiring, however, he remains adamant that he will be staying retired.
