Crawford by decision, he does everything better. He's stronger, faster, a better puncher, has a better punch variety, better footwork, better chin, longer (no homo), more aggressive. I think Timmy may have a better engine, but that's it.
Prime Timmeh could just as well have been 0-4 against his string of quality opponents, and should have gone 1-3 at least in my opinion. Crawford at this point is somewhat better as those 3 guys at that stage of their careers (old Pac, Provo and old JMM), and without nationality advantage he wouldn't get a gift either. Crawford clear UD
All you need to know is that a still developing Crawford beat up a prime Bradley in sparring. Two different levels here. Go ask Bradley, and I'm sure even he'll tell you Crawford wins this.
Bradley-Khan the 140lb fight that never happened would have been more interesting. Crawford beats Bradley, bigger, longer and more skilled.
Until I see Crawford against good opposition I have to go with Bradley. Bradley would've easily cleaned out Crawford's resume.
The responses aren't that surprising, considering Bradley is loved on this forum and Crawford is THE most despised fighter on ESB (because he's better than your precious Loma and it makes you feel threatened), but you need to think logically. Ain't much of a case to be made for Bradley beating a guy who's better than him at literally every facet of boxing. Bradley's disgustingly overrated on ESB. It's crazy. There was a thread of Bradley vs a prime Mosley and some posters were picking Bradley. LMAO! Tim Bradley wasn't that good guys, I'm sorry. Never was he on the level of Crawford.
I think Crawford is top 3 p4p but prime Tim is physically as strong or stronger definitely faster and has a more proven chin, no doubt a better engine. Crawford doesn't have the superhuman attributes near-prime Pacquiao had to beat Tim and he doesn't have provodnikov level fight changing power either to mess Tim up if Tim gets overanxious. Crawford loves to slow down the pace of the fight and then pick his opponent apart, Tim is incredibly determined and forces a high pace. Crawford possibly better p4p but Tim beats him because of styles. Crawford won't be able to hang back and pick apart Tim because Tim will be coming in roughhousing and headbutting from round 1, not giving Crawford the time and space he needs for his methodical style. Tim by decision because Crawford never gets the space to find his groove
He was above average with a big heart and that’s not a criticism but really a prime Moseley or Crawford would win fairly easily.
