Timothy Bradley Names the Best Boxer in the World

Hall of Famer and boxing analyst Timothy Bradley shared his opinion on who he believes is the best boxer in the world right now.

At first, the American praised WBA super welterweight champion Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs), but when it came to achievements, Bradley ultimately placed two-time undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) at the top.

"Crawford is a pound-for-pound guy. Possibly the best in the world when you consider his accomplishments. But what Usyk has done over the last few years is just phenomenal. You can’t deny his supremacy. Still, Crawford has been in the pound-for-pound top 3 for over a decade," Bradley said.

In September 2025, Terence Crawford plans to move up to super middleweight and challenge WBA, WBC, and WBO champion Saul "Canelo" Álvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs).

In May 2024, Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by split decision, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years. In their December rematch, Usyk repeated his success—winning by unanimous decision over 12 rounds.
