    Is Crawford even better than Tim Bradley?

    Bradley has beaten: Peterson, Alexander, Marquez, Vargas, Casamayor, Holt, Witter, Vazquez, etc. No one had ever beaten him except Pacquiao.

    Is Terrence Crawford even better than Tim Bradley? And if so by how much?

    Because Pacquiao destroyed Bradley and retired him.

    By leaps and bounds. Not even close. Bradley was a second thought in his own era and actually nothing special.

        Crawford is good no doubt but has yet to go thru the gauntlet.

        Me thinks Spence might be shot looking for a payday.

        I say his path has to cross with Pac's Then we will know.

          Bradley is better. Bradley was a 2nd thought in his era as pac was in prime at the time and crawford would also be 2nd thought in his era if Pac was 30 years old now.
          But Crawford would be a greater win for pac now as he's 41. And Bradley was a great win for pac as pac achieved so much before facing Bradley and still rose to occasion

            Anyone who cares about the Pacman shouldn't encourage a fight with Crawford (not addressing just you). Not even Danny Garcia. Mikey will beat him bad too.

            Maybe try Spence. I think he's mushy now, the weak link, unless that accident was fake.

            I care about Pac. Please don't fight anymore.

              The bold: As Uncle Roger would say, YDKSAB. I'm sure you've heard that several times before.

                The only people who would think bradley was ever better then crawford are just people who hate crawford or pacfans looking to inflate pacs record as always. To them bradley is a atg. I remember a prime Bradley telling a story of sparring a young green crawford who he himself said beat the sht out of him.......

                  What grade would you rate Bud at the moment?
                  For me hes definitely A maybe A-.
                  I would probably have Spence at a B because of his accident and thats being generous.
                  I think Porter or even Ugas would beat Spence now.

                    The highest I rate a boxer right now is a B or B+. All have question marks surrounding them. Many have the potential to end their career with an A or A-. Someone like Bradley I'd rate C+, like Golovkin.

                    People I rate B or B+ max:

                    Crawford
                    Loma
                    Spence (not sure)
                    Davis
                    Usyk
                    Canelo


                    Estrada I rate A-. Heart and skill out of this world. I might put Katie Taylor in this category too (may need to rematch Delvine).

                    Crazy, right?
