Better resume Bradley or Crawford

[boliodogs]

I am sure Crawford is a better fighter and would beat Bradley but as far as record goes I think Bradley has a slightly better record because he got to fight better fighters overall.Crawford never lost and Bradley only lost to the great Pacquiao. I do not give Bradley credit for his win over Pac. I consider that a clear Bradley loss and think Pac won at least 9 of the 23 rounds, It was a robbery in my opinion.

Pretty simple, which of these 2 guys has the better resume.

Bradley's top 5 wins

JMM- Coming off a KO victory over Pac, was ranked #3 p4p by both the Ring and Transnational boxing before the fight and a true ATG who started fighting at the top level late in his career and was still effective in his older age as a result.

Alexander- Undefeated, unified champ at 140 before being stripped by the IBF prior to the Bradley fight. Won a controversial decision against Kotelnik prior.

Peterson- Dominating UD win for Bradley, Peterson would go on to win a controversial decision against the 1b of the division in Amir Khan during Timmy's time in that weight class.

Witter- Arguably the #2 JWW when Bradley traveled to his own backyard to beat him.

Holt-Huge power at 140, Bradley managed to overcome a terrible first 2 rounds to take over the fight.

Crawford's top 5 wins

Viktor Postol- the number 1 fighter of a very weak JWW div at the time, beat a highly regarded Lucas who was a very favorable stylistic match up for him and whose eye was pretty damaged from his past wars with Danny G, Molina and Provo. Gave a very good Josh Taylor a tough battle after his disappointing W against Najmidinnov which he won via shoddy reffing and Judging.

Dulorme- Was seen as a low contender level fighter prior to his very competitive fights against Ugas and Vargas. Underrated win especially with how easily Crawford dispatched of him.
Horn- Won against a disinterested Pac with a LOT of help from both the ref and the judges. Was pretty much dominated by a low level contender in Micheal Zerafa who was more of a 154 pound fighter prior to the Horn fight, despite the fight happening at 160.

Gamboa- Very strong FW champ but arguably only has 1 decent win outside the 126 div against Darleyz Perez which he didn't look very elite against and was even KD in the 11th round that was nullified by the incompetent ref. His W against Sosa was pure robbery.

Indongo- Unified champ of a weak 140 div but one that is very awkward to fight. Coming of 2 very good wins with a shut out against Burns and a 1st round KO against Troyanovsky.

Khan- As delusional as he may be, if he was anything close to the 2014 version that completely dominated Alexander then this is a very good W for sure, problem is Khan hasn't really had a good win since Algieri in 2015 so its pretty hard to guess.

Good post, too bad you ruined it at the very end by calling Algieri a "good win"

I think Crawford would beat Bradley too but it would be Crawford's toughest fight to date and I don't think the match would be clear cut either. Bradley was one of the most versatile fighters when he fought, could do everything and knew how to change up his game plan. I think he would take the fight to Crawford and make it a fight where Bud couldn't really get settled. Would have loved to see it.

Has to be a troll...

How are their resumes even comparable? Lol. Who had Crawford fought?

[pacphobia]

Bradley by miles.

I dunno Prime Bradley would beat Crawford IMO. Until Bud shows me that he beats the top dogs at 47 that is.

Might as well give ur prediction on Crawford vs top guys @147 anyway? These fights might happen. We will never know the outcome of Bradley v Crawford sadly. I think Crawford is special. I pick him to beat everyone @147. Part of what keeps us intrigued to boxing is getting things wrong. I just don’t see anyone reducing Bud to having to not fight his fight.

I agree. Crawford's potential is all on paper right now. There are sparring anecdotes like Bradley's and doting fighters and fan accounts, but nothing has been proved out yet in the open. There is not even a faded great fighter on his resume, and no report of him overcoming adversity. It's like what was being said about Donald Curry back in the day before Honeyghan stopped all that talk, and all the buzz with Chad Dawson...who was excellent (he beat Hopkins, Tarver and Johnson), but when he stepped up to the highest level, he produced an excuse. The jury is still out on Crawford and Lomachenko in my books, not for being good fighters, but being great fighters. Loma's amateur resume is fantastic.
Nevertheless, gold medals, great trainers and training regimes don't always translate into "great" fighters. Until they enter a fight as an underdog or are in real 50/50 fight and they dominate it, then I can't put them at the very top. Bradley is battle-tested.

Buds problem is he can't get the mega fights because guys like pac and Spence are ducking.but once these guys finally grow a pair people will see how good bud really is

LOL at calling a 41 year ATG ducking, more like Arum screwed the pooch and Pac will not give him a payday. Pac let the first bradley screw job slide, got angry with the Horn bs but when he tried to make Pac the "co-main" card with Bud LOLOLOL.... Pac walked away knowing better.

That's not a bad thing man
