should Tim Bradley fight a legit WW before a Pac fight?

he fought all the top guys? Maidana, Matthysse, Khan, Alvarado, Marquez and Rios (they both could fight at 140) Alexander, Holt, Campbell were all above those guys including Maidana, .. And lol.. on Rios and Marquez..And Matthyse...blah.. They were LW's when Bradley was at 140..

I want to see Bradley vs JMM!!! good fight too close to call imo

The difference between Bradley and Ortiz is that Bradley is the number 1 ranked LWW fighter, and has fought all the top guys in that division except Khan. So for him to move up, and fight the #1 ranked WW, is cool. Here is another point, had Khan won that fight with Peterson, he would be the next viable opponent for Floyd, which is cool as well but you Flomos wouldnt be complaining so much as you are doing now... he fought all the top guys? Maidana, Matthysse, Khan, Alvarado, Marquez and Rios (they both could fight at 140)

I want to see Bradley vs JMM!!!

like I said he hasn't done anything as of late to be called the #1 JrWW while other guys in the division had been putting in work if we people are dropping Khan from the #1 because of his loss then they should drop Bradley as well for taking Cassa fight IMO Considering people were trying to make a case for Alexander being #1 at 140 when Bradley beat him THIS YEAR, I'd say he has done more than enough to be ranked #1 in the division.

considering that most folk had marquez beating pacquiao in their third fight i'd call him a legit WW in that sense as legit as pacquiao, at least. i'd love to see marquez and bradley fight. catchweight 143 lbs. bradley can still do it, and marquez deserves a level playing field. i think it could be a hell of a fight, with bradley trying to fight a bigger man's fight and marquez trying to land shots and get respect marquez would find a way to get dropped or hurt early, and then make a fight of it

Nope, Pacquiao's been fighting catchweights all over the place and looked bad against a lightweight in his last fight so Bradley might be a good opponent, there's no reason to make anyone earn a fight against Pacquiao anymore, they're on equal footing in the division.

BS. to fight the champ at 147 he has to beat at least one named guy if not berto or ortiz then a guy like jan zaveck would be a perfect test at 147 or even a kell brook whos a solid guy and has more of a name as an exciting fighter than bradley already

Bradley did beat 29-0 welterweight Luis Carlos Abregu last year and has a onesided win over Peterson. He is worthy a title shot at 147.

HOnestly, I think they're still ranking Khan as their number 1 because he was their number 1 when Bradley was having legal problems and didn't beat somebody they were impressed with while Khan lost. Honestly, Bradley has always been better than Khan, the only reason he lost his position was because he didn't fight for 8 months and everybody who listed was looking for a reason to move Khan up. They say who has Bradley beat.... well what about Khan? We could all play this game all day and everybody could come up with reasons why one's resume is better than the other. At the end of the day, Bradley has the better skill set and the ability to beat Khan. I think Bradley is the best JWW right now. I don't see anyone beating him right now at JWW. But, I also think that he has the best resume to be ranked #1. I agreed with moving Khan to #1 and Bradley down to #2. When Khan beat Judah. But, after Khan lost to Peterson, considering Bradley clearly beat Peterson. Then you have to move Bradley #1, with Peterson #2, and Khan at #3. If Bradley didn't have that win over Peterson. I could see Bradley not being rank #1. But, he has that win. It's no coincidence that the 2 best boxing rankings and the 2 least unbiased rankings have Bradley #1 at JWW in the Ring and boxingscene.

Are you still ranking Khan #1? Bradley had 2 fights earlier this year, last one being against Casa and the other one against a top 3 JWW. He won both Handily without a problem. Yes Casa has been old for awhile. No argument here and that win should hold little weight. However, look at how he won. And, then name anyone, anybody who has ever beat Casa that easily before. I will wait... He holds a win over the guy that just beat who had an argument for being the best JWW. So again, who do you rank or feel should be rank above Bradley at JWW? It's a simple question.

He's the best Jr WW so he has the right cards to face Manny Pacquiao straight up, but I wouldn't mind if Bradley took on Victor Ortiz, a strong hard hitting southpaw, it would give Bradley a better idea at what to expect at 147. Berto, if he's able to get past Ortiz is another good option for Bradley. Whichever route he takes, be it Pacquiao or winner of Ortiz-Berto, I'm fine with that.

like I said he hasn't done anything as of late to be called the #1 JrWW while other guys in the division had been putting in work if we people are dropping Khan from the #1 because of his loss then they should drop Bradley as well for taking Cassa fight IMO Are you still ranking Khan #1?

Name another JWW that you rank or should be rank ahead of Bradley at JWW....Go. like I said he hasn't done anything as of late to be called the #1 JrWW while other guys in the division had been putting in work if we people are dropping Khan from the #1 because of his loss then they should drop Bradley as well for taking Cassa fight IMO

man Bradley hasn't done **** recently to warrant being called the best JWW its been almost 32 months since he beat Holt and in the last two years he fought two below average boxers and Devon Alexander he forfeited his #1 spot by blatantly ducking Khan and fighting lessor guys it would be shame him getting a Pacquiao fight following Casamayor fight Name another JWW that you rank or should be rank ahead of Bradley at JWW....Go.

So Bradley being hands the down the best JWW doesn't deserve a shot at Pac? Really? He's better qualified, he's a better fighter, with a better resume and accomplishments than any WW out there not named Floyd or pacquiao. man Bradley hasn't done **** recently to warrant being called the best JWW its been almost 32 months since he beat Holt and in the last two years he fought two below average boxers and Devon Alexander he forfeited his #1 spot by blatantly ducking Khan and fighting lessor guys it would be shame him getting a Pacquiao fight following Casamayor fight

He doesn't have to. It would depend on where he would want to campaign at.well that sucks then. easy payday because he has nothing to lose except his 0.

if bradley fights pac at ww does he have to vacate the jr.ww belt? He doesn't have to. It would depend on where he would want to campaign at.

if bradley fights pac at ww does he have to vacate the jr.ww belt?

if alexander/maidana is happening at 147, he should fight the winner. besides that, i don't see him getting jones or senchenko. i wouldn't mind him going into a pacquiao fight next though. Maybe if it's Maidana...I don't see why anyone would want to see Bradley-Alexander again.
