:deal Bradley's chin seems a bit cracked, Crawford might even stop him. Bradley would still be the best fighter he has faced, but a win there could really accelerate his career if he can pull it off.
Just because Tim got caught and wobble a little at the end of a match that he basically shutout Vargas 10-2 in, doesn't mean he's shot, Guerrero has an iron chin as well and was dropped by a virtual nobody, its boxing s*** happens sometimes, especially when fighters go all out and load up on their punches. Anthony Dirrel had Bika out on his feet several times whereas Adonis maybe once, yet Dirrell couldn't phase Badou Jack, odd things happen. I'd give Bradley a slight chance in outworking Crawford.
Don't know. Crawford is physically a little bigger than Bradley, but he fights in a lower weight class. Bradley's best weight is 140 but he went up for Pac and the big paydays. He's also been packing on muscle thinking about moving up, even though he's still a feather fist. But Crawford, he might carry his lightweight power up to welter or he might not. We'll have to wait and see. But I've been saying for a year that Crawford, Bradley, and Broner ought to have it out at 140 and see who the best of the young guns is.
I think this Crawford hype is getting way over board now. This is the same guy who went 12 with Burns and had a few problems and was badly hurt by Gamboa. He has potential but ranks lower than Matthysse and Peterson, Herrera and Garcia if he's still at 140. At 147lbs he's an unknown entity and definitely goes into a fight with Bradley as a big under dog.
Terrance has only had 3-4 fights against guys who were truly world class and out of them who's an elite fighter? Gamboa was at featherweight maybe. The hype is getting beyond a joke now. Crawford is a quality operator but not that great. If they were to fight 3 months from now my money's going on Tim Bradley.
Terrible match up for Bradley. He's better and you never know with the weight move up from Crawford. But I'd pick Crawford at this point. Bradley simply has no ring IQ in combination with slightly fading skills (although looked better against Vargas than some other recent fights).
