    Bradley KOing Crawford? Never heard that before. All the stories there that came out was Crawford was giving it to Bradley 6 or 7 fights into his career. Bradley even admitted in some interviews that Crawford beat his a^^ a few times and he realized quickly he was no sparring partner.
    I might have got Bradley and Russell Jr mixed up. But i'll go and have a look to see if that's the case.

      The GRJ story was supposedly them getting into a street fight when they were amateurs. It was never confirmed by anyone.

        Yeah, just had a quick look and there's nothing on Bradley knocking him out in sparring. I got it confused with the Russell story. However true that is.

          I get the feeling that most of you haven't been punched square in the face by anyone, nevermind a professional fighter.

            Don't be pretending that Froch didn't get rocked and knocked down by Jermain Taylor.

            If you fight solid competition and you get caught, you can get rocked.

            Not sure why Crawford is being singled out here.

              The guy who told the story I believe was Todd Harbib who helped a lot of US amateurs and would pay for their tournament fees. He was the cut man for Lubin, Spence and others. So I mean this is a guy that was certainly in the amateur scene and around all these guys. It's just this story was never confirmed by anyone, like ANYONE. So hard to say if it was true or not.

              Anyways, I think Crawford's chin is just fine. Getting rocked on a counter shot you don't see or expect happens to damn near everyone. Doesn't mean a guy like Spence won’t be able to hurt him but the Gamboa moment isn't all that important IMO.

                I'm not singling Crawford out. But after the Gamboa fight, anyone would be asking how well he takes a shot.

                Taylor didn't rock Froch. He dropped him, but it was a combination, not a single shot.

                  That was a very sad rendition. Similar to the Mays version with SSM.

                  Khan and Zab are the standards.
