Did any of you guys know this?
Ward said that he was the toughest guy he ever faced.
"Ward fought Bradley years ago when the two of them were amateurs and he says he was the toughest guy he ever fought. Ward knows Bradley’s style really well, and he believes without a doubt he’ll beat the Filipino a second time on April 12th."

I guess this explains why he is able to take punches from bigger fighters well.
it set the amateur record for most headbutts in fight...i think there was even a record of 37 headbutts in round 3
Funniest thing I heard/read all day. Neither 1 suffered a cut either!
5'5 1/2" Donaire also fought and beat a 14 yrs.old James Kirkland in the amateur.
Thats crazy it's funny how a generation of fighters all fight each other in the amateurs then by the time they're pros they all grow into different weight classes but still at the top of the sport
Berto beat Bradley twice, Angulo beat Bradley, Vanes also beat Bradley.
Other lesser known pro boxers that beat Bradley in the ams: Anthony Thompson (24-3 ), Juan McPherson (7-0 ), James Parison (15-1 ).
This is all according to boxrec.
To Bradley's credit, all of these guys range from 5' 9" - 6' 1" except for Berto, and, they all started at JMW and some went up to 160. Also, Bradley went all the way down to 140 for his pro career, indicating to me that he might have been biting off more than he could chew in the Jr MW limit of the amateurs.
reason why they phucked up the weight classes by removing 147 they go from 141 to 152 Bradley probably weighed like 145. Back in the day it was 132 139 147 156 Today it's 132 141 152 they had to shed the weight classes to make room for Women's boxing
Sure did, he fought a whole bunch of fighters in the ams... didn't win against all of them, but he's doing pretty good in the pros
Bradley fought at 152 but suck down to 140 in the pro's and still can't get KO's. The only way Bradley wins is corrupt judging or Pacquaio just stands there at lets Bradley tee off on him with throwing any punches

Andre Ward is so full of himself. I can't stand the dude. He's not even a boxer, he's a grappler. I would love nothing more than for anyone to say their nickname is "Son Of Satan" and brutally K.O. the "Son Of God", haha. Ward is a master grappler that throws pitty-pat punches and Bradley is a master headbutter that throws pitty-pat punches. But these days they're called "master boxers", hahaha.
Are you really from the 909? I'm ashamed you live anywhere near me
ward living in his own bubble. because bradley gave him such a hard time that means he beats everyone else? lol! some people are just better than you ward. like pac for example who already schooled bradley.

In a phantasy P4P fight, Bradley would be the only one able to out-headbutt Ward... But I'm not sure... :)
