Terence Crawford vs Adonis Stevenson

Part of me hates any discussion regarding Crawford's testing waters at Light-Heavyweight (even in a hypothetical fight). But other part of me would've loved to see how he does at this weight.
In a parallel universe plot, let's say the Undisputed 168lbs champ Crawford teleports 7-10 years back and thinking of giving it a try at LHW. His team would've considered a very dangerous, but more or less calculated move - going up to 175 and target WBC/Lineal champ Stevenson.
Unlike Kovalev, Stevenson was a 168lber before moving up to fight Dawson. He isn't a huge guy, in terms of height. Not long, but rather has a wide frame. A real concussive puncher, but perhaps a bit one-dimensional in terms of punching arsenal and overall approach.
Do you think Crawford could've handled this test?
