Terence Crawford has boxing's Holy Grail and will be David Avanesyan's worst nightmare

Terence Crawford is one of the best welterweights I have ever seen. He is by no means big for the weight. He is, however, a brilliant combination puncher with unbelievable shot selection and superb timing.

Think Pernell Whitaker with power. That’s the Holy Grail; power, timing, speed, accuracy. Plus he’s a south paw. That’s your worst nightmare.

The defence of his WBO welterweight crown against David Avanesyan in Ohama will be his 39th professional bout. At 34, there is not a mark on him.
