JAKARTA - Terence Crawford (39-0-0, 30 KOs) nicknamed 'best finisher in boxing', an award that perhaps can only be denied by Artur Beterbiev and Noaya Inoue.
Crawford's latest win came last Saturday. With a super-class performance against David Avantesyan, the welterweight champion has again proven himself not only knows how to score an opponent, but he is also the best 'trayer' in boxing.
Crawford made Avantesyan suffer with a hard blow to the body. The Russian fighter was even bombarded with a combination of deadly punches by boxers nicknamed 'Bud'.
Nine of the last 10 wins of this athlete fromTEN were won by knockout and another one that was not achieved because his opponent had retired.
So, what does Terence Crawford have to do now to reach the next level?
Crawford, for many, is the best cross-divisional fighter (pound-for-pound), although if he wants to win as one of the greatest in his time, he will have to face Errol Spence Jr.
Crawford is 35 years old and doesn't seem in a hurry to face 'The Truth'.
Although the two welterweight champions seem interested in making a big fight in recent months, everything is back in vain.
Crawford's contract was terminated by Top Rank and his own fate against Avanesyan for a fee of more than $10 million.
If he doesn't fight Spence now, only opponents like Jaron Ennis or Vergil Ortiz could make Crawford increase his legacy. It's just that, that's not enough.
Manny Pacquiao announced last weekend that he was fit and willing to leave his retirement to face Crawford or Spence. Now, it's up to 'Bud'.
