The Current "man to beat" at 147 is....

Bardock & JRB123 - Thurman's title has way more credibility than Bradley's. The lineage of Thurman's title traces back to May 28, 2010. Bradley won a title that was thrown in the trash THIS YEAR. Not to mention Thurman successfully defended against a guy Bradley couldn't beat last year.

Or even Cotto, if Bradley wanted to go up in weight a bit?

Bradley already "fought it out" amongst his peers, snatching zero's. He now sits at the top as "the man to beat" Yes, that's pretty much it. Thurman, Porter, Garcia and Khan are all with Haymon and any of them against any of the others would be decent match-ups, and each of them claims to be open to fighting the others. So why are they not getting made?! Bradley has definitely got skills but he's now in the latter stages of his career and should just be looking at big money, prestige "retirement" type fights IMO. The obvious one for both guys is Pacquaio-Bradley.

He has to beat Brook or Pacquiao to get The Ring title. My vote is for the dude in your sig clip. In fact both of them. Hell with skills, I would pay top dollar to have watched that fight LOL

I agree with Bradley. Although he has been hurt few times already and there has been some... controversy with his win over Pacquiao and Provo, you still gotta hand it to him, great fighter he is. Only one loss officially so his record looks real good Would love to see him against Khan or Cotto someday, I think those two would be hell of fights

Definitely not Thurman with that paper title either :lol1: You got that right

How bout this; Vargas>Collazo, Dan and Gavin. :lol1:

I could go for a WW Super 6 tourney. Bradley Brook Khan Thurman Porter Garcia That would be great :boxing:

Who did Collazo beat? Victor Ortiz? Well he should have got the nod back against Berto..That and Ortiz is still better than anything Vargas has done..

Pacquiao has lost three of his last six, including his most recent fight. How in the world can he be the "man to beat" at Welterweight? Tim Bradley just won a vacant title and is 2-1-1 in his last four fights. How in the world can he be the "man to beat" at Welterweight? I don't think anybody at Welterweight is the "man to beat" yet. Floyd JUST retired. BUT, with Keith Thurman and Kell Brook both still undefeated, both having world titles and both at least having made a couple of defenses, there's no doubt they are the guys with the best claims to being champion of the division. Definitely not Pacquiao or Bradley. The WBO title was just thrown in the garbage earlier this year. Definitely not Thurman with that paper title either :lol1:

What petty criteria are you talking about? That you have to beat welterweights to be the best welterweight? :lol1::lol1::lol1: I can always come on here and get a good laugh from Dirk

because Collazo has beaten people and Vargas hasn't? Lopez and Khabib arguably beat him ... You are really bending every fact you can to make Bradley seem better.. Not saying I rate Collazo or anything.. I'm not bending the facts. I'm stating them. Your the one doing all the bending and shaping here for the sake of your argument. Collazo is a "barely was, has been" on the verge of retirement (if he hasn't already) At least Vargas is still just a "barely was" and has a lot more years ahead of him. Vargas>Collazo

Lol, what? He sure in the f*ck is. It maybe only that he is younger and fresher but he's definitely a better opponent at this point. How could you even argue that? because Collazo has beaten people and Vargas hasn't? Lopez and Khabib arguably beat him ... You are really bending every fact you can to make Bradley seem better..

Vargas is not better than Collazo....Would probably get a rip off win if they fought but is not better Lol, what? He sure in the f*ck is. It maybe only that he is younger and fresher but he's definitely a better opponent at this point. How could you even argue that?

Ok Vargas>Collazo, how bout that? For the record I think Thurman should be full champ not whatever they're calling it. Vargas is not better than Collazo....Would probably get a rip off win if they fought but is not better

Oh he didn't beat Jessie Vargas, who got a rip off win over the guy Broner just dismantled, yet Vargas hung with T Brad and almost knocked him out.....hmmm yeah I don't think I care about a meaningless belt Ok Vargas>Collazo, how bout that? For the record I think Thurman should be full champ not whatever they're calling it.

Is Thurman even a real champ at 147 yet? Didn't think so. Oh he didn't beat Jessie Vargas, who got a rip off win over the guy Broner just dismantled, yet Vargas hung with T Brad and almost knocked him out.....hmmm yeah I don't think I care about a meaningless belt

Look man ...you are wrong...Get over it. Bradley has beat almost no WW's ...He didn't beat Chaves and He didn't beat Manny...So you're left with Abregu, Rios , Alexander... There is no man at WW and if there was it would probably be Thurman before Bradley....Didn't he Knock Chaves out ? Did dynamite Tim do that? Hate guys like you who make me resent fighters I love watching... Is Thurman even a real champ at 147 yet? Didn't think so.

Well let's assume he is and after that he's retiring. As according to the rumors What other WW out there has a resume even remotely close to Bradley's? If you think Thurman, Porter or Brook do. You should go get checked out they're all hype until they prove it otherwise (in the ring) Look man ...you are wrong...Get over it. Bradley has beat almost no WW's ...He didn't beat Chaves and He didn't beat Manny...So you're left with Abregu, Rios , Alexander...
