Terence Crawford has been named the 2018 ESPY Best Fighter for his wins over WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn, Julius Indongo and Felix Diaz. It’s a nice accomplishment for the 30-year-old Crawford to get the ESPY award, but his biggest win was over Horn, a fighter that won a controversial 12 round decision over Manny Pacquiao last year.

Since we are still in the Manny Pacquiao's fever, it was reported that Crawford wins fighter of the year over Lomachenko. This two has been in the discussion on who's Manny going to face next. So its going to be interesting if either one of them can get in the ring with Pacquaio and prove themselves against he legend.
Really a close one indeed. Im eyeing for Vasyl Lomachenko too but not disagree if the unbeaten Terence Crawford gets the recognition. They deserved both.
Congrats to all candidates.
Side note: Crawford and Loma are both with Bob Arum. Might be possible that they can have their chance to fight Manny Pacquiao.
I doubt Loma-Pacquiao will happened if one of the parties will not give way. I mean for the weight class. It's risky for Pacquaio to move down on weight division while on the other hand, it's a rush if Loma will force to move up weight. Loma can forced it as I know he can handle the pressure because of his young age but for Pacquaio, I don't doubt his strength but at 39 years old he must be careful dealing with his diet. Pacquaio is powerful at his current weight division even at his age so it's risky for me if he will force a loss weight. It needs time to adopt the intensity of any weight division.
