Obviously we have yet to see TC at 147. So let's say 140. The Crawford of today vs the Bradley that beat Lamont Peterson. Who wins?
Bradley is the most unimpressive yet solid fighter imaginable... Every time I have expected him to be embarrassed he's either wound up winning or he's lost in a non-embarrassing fashion... I want to say that Crawford is too technically sound, too loose and fluid, too versatile and would win clearly but something tells me Bradley makes a real argument out of this while somehow failing to convince any of us he's done anything good
I won't lie, I don't think it's an easy fight for Crawford. Bradley would have been problematic because he does have good feet, he has above average handspeed, he has a high workrate. Over the course of the fight though, I think the fact that Crawford is SOO much better as a technician would take it's toll. I dunno if TC has the firepower to put Bradley away, but he would counter in between Timmy's wild shit and scoring a KD or two and he'd assume command late.
Bradley is indeed a bizarre fighter. He is so unimpressive yet solid. He looks unspectacular and beatable, yet evidently he is very hard to beat and just knows how to fight. No idea about this one, if I had to pick right now I would pick Braddles as he's more proven, I'd have to see Crawford against someone legit at 140.
Crawford via close decision. It would be back and forth, but I see Crawford taking control late and winning the judges over with cleaner punching and ring generalship.
