Will Bradley be called overrated if he loses to Manny?

No the term that will fly Around here is "exposed"

That's crazy both 140 & 168 were 2 of boxing's deepest divisions. Bradley dominated 140, Bute dominated bums, big, big difference. Huh? 140 was loaded, but who did bradley fight? Bradley doesn't have a hands down better resume I can't believe I'm defending bute but johnson, andrade 2 times, miranda and bika are not bums. He has some decent wins on that resume. Though between miranda and johnson he did fight bums Bradley like bute has 3 maybe 4 big fights.......everyone else was a bum,

i wouldnt say bradley dominated 140... khan cleaned out 140 as well.... as for bute, im a fan, but admit he definitely missed out since he wasnt part of the super six. I was thinking the same thing but you beat me to it. Really all that the division had was Alexander, Bradley and Khan as big time guys. Even though I don't care for Khan's attitude he is a skilled fighter and would give Bradley troubles in a good fight.

i wouldnt call bradley overrated at all.... undefeated champion, blue collar, hard working fighter. respect. he is the most qualified to fight pac at this point... he surely is more seasoned than ortiz or berto.

Bradley's got nothing that can beat Pac.

Bradley has a much better resume than Bute. He won his title abroad and he fought top ten opponents ever since. apples and oranges.

I'm hoping for a huge upset..........go bradley............:boxing: Realistically this is going to be ugly. Heart can only take you so far. There is nothing that bradley is exceptional at. He is average to good in most categories. You need to be great at something to beat pac man. Pac man by corner stoppage late. Unless bradley really uglies it up and makes it a war on the ropes pac will land way too many straight shots while bradley throws wide

I am not sure if Bradleys competition is that much better than Bute's. He doesn't fight in one place all the time but Alexander is not proven yet and I think his best win may be Witter. I just hope Bradley doesn't get stage fright and freeze up on the big stage. That's crazy both 140 & 168 were 2 of boxing's deepest divisions.

A Bute-Bradley comparo?? Not even realistic. Bradley was the top fighter at 140. He beat all of them except for Khan, (minus a couple slightly relevant guys). Bute beat absolutely no one to earn the 2nd seed at 168. But Bradley cannot be deemed overrated if he losses, not when 75% of the world thinks he losses anyway. Bradley underdog. Bute favored,(for some strange reason). I think Bute was favored more on Froch's fight with Ward than on his own merrits. I see it as a no lose situation for Bradley. If he loses he lost to a great fighter and if he wins he beat a great fighter. As long as he shows up I think he will be good.

They shouldn't, unlike Bute Bradley has proven himself against very good competition. I am not sure if Bradleys competition is that much better than Bute's.

I saw a lot of ppl give Bute flak after he lost to Froch and I was wondering if ppl will think Bradley is overrated as well if Manny beats him. Especially by KO. Bradley has only beat Alexander and Holt of note. Bute had only beat Miranda/Andrade and Johnson of note. I am not sure who will win but I don't see Bute as being overrated for his loss to Froch and I doubt if I will view Bradley that way either if he loses to Pacman. Froch fought the fight of his life and was the better man. If Bradley gets KOed in the first 4 rounds, it won't be a shock since Manny has a lot of power anyway. It will be interesting to see what ppl think of him if he loses early or badly. Bradley has proven his ability, and there will be no shame in losing to a great fighter such as Pacquiao. Cotto was not called overrated when he lost to Pacquiao, it just showed what a ATG fighter Pacquiao is to do that to a modern great.

They shouldn't, unlike Bute Bradley has proven himself against very good competition.

if bradley loses then the excuses are -- he was still to green, we knew this was gonna happen, bradley was tailor made for pac. bradley have no defense and is a come foward brawler thats why team pac picked him. pac is also on the juice.
