    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.
    you cant be serious here

      Bradley is far more proven but even he would tell you that Crawford is better than him. Now what do you value? Most will say resume' so Bradley will be seen by some as better. But eye test and Bradley's own opinion will say Crawford.

        yeah right!!! not when he was active and chasing that belt! of course he's gonna say that now. he's not active and competing anymore and he has a good relationship with crawford so it would be dumb for him to say he's better than crawford now.

          I love Manny. My favorite all time.


          I don't want him in with any of those guys listed.


          I want him to fight some scrub in Manila and retire.

            I'm going off of what Bradley himself has said. You can say he's only saying this now, but Bradley has been on the record plenty of times saying Crawford put it on him when they sparred. Clearly he has rated him highly ever since.

              yes, i know what he said. i saw that. what i am explaining to you is that bradley said that when he wasnt active anymore...

              funny that you brought up the sparring session because crawford said it was hell sparring bradley!.. and remember what ward also said regarding sparring with bradley.

              if bradley was still active and chasing that 147 title, he will not have any issue fighting crawford and he will not say that crawford is better than him.

              imo, bradley has gone through and face adversity and came out the winner... crawford hasnt even come close to going through what bradley has gone through.

                It’s hard to say. I think Tim Bradley was a solid boxer, and as far as I know, he didn’t roid.

                Terence Crawford, IMO, fights beautifully. Looks very special, and can fight slick or brawl if needed. But we won’t know for sure how good he is/was, because of the general poor level of competition he has faced.

                The emotional side of me says Crawford is way better... but the rational side of me knows that he doesn’t have half the resume Bradley had. The rational side of me says Bradley has the edge due to this fact.

                  I viewed Thurman as the weakest link at the point Pac fought him. The guy isn't a serious boxer. Father time also isn't forgiving and the Pacman has nothing more to prove. Greed can kill.

                      I think Crawford is better but Bradley has fought better competition. I'd pick Crawford over any Tim Bradley though.
