Terence Crawford reacts to David Benavidez stopping Ramirez

David Benavidez stopped Gilberto Ramirez on May 3, 2026, in Las Vegas to claim the WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles in his first fight at cruiserweight, extending his unbeaten record. Terence Crawford, who had previously defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision in September 2025 to become undisputed super middleweight champion, posted a reaction message on social media following the stoppage victory. The win reignited discussion about a potential matchup between Crawford and Benavidez, which had previously been floated by Turki Alalshikh but never materialised.
