• Crawford says Vegas victory proves his all-time greatness

• Nebraska star defies doubters after historic triumph

After scaling two divisions to outclass Canelo Álvarez for the undisputed super-middleweight championship before a record crowd on Saturday night, Terence Crawford wasted no time calling it the defining performance of an already brilliant career.

“This is definitely a signature win,” Crawford told reporters afterward. “Moving up two weight classes, being the B-side, fighting a guy that’s been undefeated in the division, undisputed, taking all his titles, doing everything that I said I was going to do. Of course this means a lot.”
