    Who wins? At either 140 or 147, if you think it makes a difference.

    I'd say Bud Crawford at both weights. Bradley was always good but never great.

    crawford by devastation. Bradley might just go into survival mode. if not, he gets brutalized.

    I think Spence vs Bradley would be closer but I favor Spence. Crawford is just on another level to Timmy.

    Would be a great fight. Timmy would give Bud his most difficult fight.

    I like Crawford in this one too, but Bradley was deceptively good and had a legit Hall of Fame career. Tough, rough, and well-schooled with decent speed. I think it would have been a compelling matchup, and he would have forced Crawford to answer questions he hasn’t really been forced to answer yet.

    Would haver to go with TC. Brandley would make it tough, and likely an ugly affair. But TC just to technically sound and strong for TB.

    Crawford just has everything over Tim Bradley. Bradley would make it competitive and most likely last the distance but he'll be totally outgunned.

    Crawford runs through any version of Bradley. Different levels of fighters

    Crawford pieces him up. TB is very good but Crawford has sneaky power.and more dimensions to his game.

    I'm a big Bradley fan, but he'd lose a competitive fight. 8-4 Crawford.

    I like Crawford. But, he wouldn't "go through" a guy like Tim Bradley. Crawford might win, but it would be a very competitive fight that could go either way. I might even favor Bradley slightly at 140.
