“I think Bud’s done,” Bradley said to Boxing News. “I think injuries. It’s not that he don’t want to do it. It’s just the fact that probably he can’t do it because he has these undisclosed injuries that are constantly probably bothering him.”

Crawford, 38, has not fought since his September 2025 victory over Canelo Alvarez, a win that cemented his legacy as one of boxing’s all-time greats. While fans have continued to speculate about another comeback, Bradley believes Crawford has already accomplished everything he set out to achieve.

Bradley says financial security is another major reason a return appears unlikely.

“I feel like Bud has done enough, made enough money and invested his money very well to where he doesn’t need to come back and fight,” Bradley said. “Most of the time guys that come back they need money. Bud doesn’t need money.”

Bradley added that Crawford is enjoying life outside the ring, traveling with his family and pursuing other ventures rather than chasing one final payday.

“I think he’s happy and content with what he’s done in the sport. I don’t see him coming back,” Bradley said before calling Crawford “the king of this generation.”
