Tim Bradley<\/a> has weighed in on as potential fight between Terence Crawford<\/a> and David Benavidez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Crawford became undisputed super-middleweight champion last month after defeating Canelo Alvarez<\/a>, and attention has now turned to who \u2018Bud\u2019 may take on next.<\/p>\n

One name proposed by fans is David Benavidez, the current WBC light heavyweight champion, who is also a two-time world champion at super-middleweight.<\/p>\n

Crawford beat Benavidez\u2019s older brother Jose earlier in his career, and now former two-weight world champion Bradley has revealed on his YouTube channel<\/a> how he thinks a clash between \u2018Bud\u2019 and \u2018The Mexican Monster\u2019 would go at 168lbs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Crawford wants to stay at 168, I see a couple of guys there that are marquee names. One is Benavidez\u2026 If he comes back down to 168 that\u2019s another crazy match-up for Bud.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have the skillset of Crawford and everything else he brings, but these guys have skills too and they\u2019re bigger than him. That\u2019s difficult. Canelo was the perfect size and style for Crawford, but when you start fighting giants like Benavidez who bring the size, volume, stamina, determination to win, the skill along with that\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cHe already beat older brother, but trust me, little brother is a little bit different. His mentality is different too. We can talk about his flaws, but his strengths cover up a lot of those flaws. His ability and willingness to walk through a damn wall to get that victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a hell of a match-up. 60-40 either way, 55-45, 50-50, whatever you want to call it, but you never want to count out Terence Crawford, he\u2019s that damn good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benavidez returns to action next month when he defends his WBC light heavyweight title against Anthony Yarde, and he recently made a U-turn on whether or not he would be willing to take on \u2018Bud.\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tim Bradley has weighed in on as potential fight between Terence Crawford and David Benavidez.
