Terence Crawford stunned fans with his pick for the UFC fighter with the best boxing skills. Instead of siding with the current consensual best striker, Ilia Topuria, Crawford went in a completely different direction.His pick was former UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt. Once praised as one of the slickest strikers in MMA, Garbrandt has struggled to find consistency in recent years.Crawford insisted the call was based on pure boxing technique rather than MMA success. Speaking in a recent episode of the FULL SEND PODCAST, Crawford said:"Cody Garbrandt. Yeah, he [is] the best. He's the best UFC boxer... Cody got them hands... Straight boxing, yeah. We ain’t talking about nothing else. We talking about straight boxing skills. I just think Cody has the best boxing skills in UFC. That’s just my opinion."Check out Terence Crawford's comments below:Several fans took to X to react to Crawford's comments, with one fan writing:"Is he stuck in 2016? Bro saw one Cody highlight and formed his entire opinion on this."Meanwhile, other fans wrote:"Technique-wise wise I feel it, but Topuria has the power that's the main difference.""Topuria is night and day better than Cody, even on Cody's best night, it's not close.""He prob hasn’t watched Iliia that much. He was in the same era as Cody when he was in his prime, so in his mind, he thinks Cody.""That's why he is losing to Canelo."Check out some of the fan reactions below:Fans react to Terence Crawford's pick for best boxer in the UFC.
