See this is the kind of fight that we must see from someone like Crawford to help solidify his greatness, it's one thing to look good to an average guy--it's another thing if you can do it to an All-Star caliber opponent. Timothy Bradley, in his peak, if you can't knocked the ****k out this guy and you don't have the proper work rate and insufficient in skill, you're in hell and you're gonna lose 9 times out of 10. He will just bury you with his work rate.
Timothy Bradley's only weakness is that his power is average, everything else is ****in on point, his power is not as low as Paulie Malignaggi he can still hurt you bad but it is the weakest link in his game which is easily counterbalanced by his great chin and his great great recovery. He is blessed with seemingly unlimited stamina--his work rate is superb. He can lead, he can fight on back foot, he can do everything. Bradley is probably going down as one of the most underrated in this era and he could have fought in any era and do very well.
I'll take Bradley. Pops was quality, worked as a security guard for his kid and showed him respect properly young. With Atlas in the corner, guaranteed victory. I am unsure of Crawford's upbringing but pick him vs Khan.
In Bradly's prime it's a great competitive match up but I'd favor Crawford. He'd have a decent amount of height and reach on Bradley and I think he's good enough on his feet to not get caught up on some of Bradley's tactics. I know Bradley has mentioned before that Crawford has given him the most trouble out of anyone during their sparring sessions when Crawford was at lightweight.
