Tim Bradley sees a lot of Terence Crawford in O’Shaquie Foster. The Hall of Fame former two-division world champion had high praise for Foster while reviewing his recent performance on his YouTube channel, comparing the former WBC super featherweight champion to one of boxing’s most accomplished fighters.
“That damn boy O’Shaquie Foster. 2.0 to Crawford. 2.0 Crawford,” Bradley said on his channel.
“That kid is bad. He doesn’t have the punch or the killer instinct of a Terence Crawford. But damn, he can do it from both ends. He’s smooth on both ends.”
Bradley spent much of his breakdown praising Foster’s ring IQ, adaptability and ability to make adjustments during fights. He believes those qualities separate Foster from many fighters in the division and allow him to control opponents with his movements, feints and timing.
“It’s probably boxing IQ if you can decipher it. And it’s O’Shaquie Foster,” Bradley said.
The praise did not stop there.
Bradley also discussed a potential fight between O’Shaquie and Shakur Stevenson, a matchup that has attracted increasing interest since Foster called out Stevenson after his win over Raymond Ford.
While Bradley ultimately favors Shakur, he believes O’Shaquie will present more problems than many fans expect.
“This is the reason why I feel this way O’Shaquie gives Shakur some trouble,” Bradley said.
“Do I think he’ll beat Shakur? No. Hell no. But I think he had a damn good chance to upset the apple cart.”
Bradley pointed to Foster’s experience, versatility and ability to fight from different positions as reasons why he believes the former champion can make things uncomfortable for Stevenson.
Still, Bradley still sees Stevenson leading the match if the fight is made. What he disagrees with is the growing belief that O’Shaquie would be completely outplayed.
Based on Bradley’s assessment, Foster’s skill set could be good enough to make a potential matchup much more competitive than many fans currently expect.
