Bradley = An Underrated Legend

Your exact words: "His resume sh1ts all over Khans. " Bradley's resume is better, no one is arguing that but the above statement is not only false, it clearly screams of a passionate dislike for someone who has one of the best resumes of any fighter 30 or under right now. This will be my last word on the matter. If beating Paulie, Zab and going life and death with Maidana means you have 'one of the best resumes of any fighter under 30'... Then you are correct, I will concede to your superior insight.

Blind hatred...no. Cynical objectivity, maybe. Bradley's resume is clearly deeper and has success across divisions that Khan just does not have. Bradley is at least one level above Khan.

They have like 2 names in common, Peterson and DA. Khan beat both and he beat Alexander a lot cleaner and we all know the Peterson fight was a full on robbery. Bradley did beat a better version of DA though, as for Peterson, he was a lot better when he fought Khan and DG than when he fought Bradley...maybe it was to do with the juicing. To claim Bradley's resume is better than Khans is truth but to claim Khans resume is **** or as one of you put it "****s all overs Khan" is blind hatred. Thats my simple, honest take on it.

Khan beat them three years after Bradley beat them. Lamont Peterson was in his prime at his most confident moment when he fought Bradley. Some even speculated Bradley was ducking Alexander and Peterson, but instead, schooled them. Khan's early resume was not horrible - but it was overrated by his nuthuggers. Overall Bradley's resume is deeper and he fought (and beat) the same guys Khan did only he fought them at their prime. Khan has done nothing at 147 / 155 of note.

Bradley deserves more attention than that ***** broner.

He did more than enough to be in the HOF. Being a two division world champ with one of the best resumes around. You can't hate on the guy or say that he doesn't belong in the HOF. I didn't say he isn't a HOF candidate, but not in the first ballot.. Legend - nope.. Oh btw I don't hate him but I am not a huge fan either but he has my respect.. I agree with everything Alex said in his post, a dedicated family man, well mannered & level headed which is such a rarity these days..

The word 'legendary' is thrown about far too easily nowadays lol... Bradley is a very, very good fighter and has earned his place as a respected Champion. He conducts himself very well as a professional and has a true warrior heart. He gets some hate because of the first Pac fight, and I can understand that - but it was not his fault that Bob Arum used the fight to teach Pac a lesson. Also, he gets flak for being a bit vanilla (no trash talking or strippers etc) yet still is a very entertaining fighter to watch. Bradley is an excellent role model for all professional fighters, especially African American's. He takes care of his business in and out the ring, is articulate and accessible and has made a fortune from boxing. This ^^^^ Bradley is a very good all round fighter but a in the league of pac/floyd.. Bradley has a lot of heart & fights like a man possessed. A very good champ - yes, a legend - no..

Ducking Khan is a big deal as the two were the best fighters at their weight. Bradley's resume is great and the JMM and Pacquiao fights add a lot to it but Khan is himself one big name away from matching it. Let's not act like wins/fights of Judah, Malignaggi, Maidana, Kotelnik, Alexander, PEDerson, Canelo and co did not matter at the time or that these were not relevant names.

when opinions collide.....it happens :) i mentioned 154 as i foresee him going there and not doing too well. Yeah, he has mentioned the weight before and if he goes, he is basically winding down his career but as his career stands, his work from 140 to 147 has been exceptional.

The hatred for Bradley is mindblowing...

He ducked Khan but so did many of the top tier boxers, including Mayweather most famously, several times. Other than that Bradley is a decent boxer who does everything well, but does nothing amazing. Ducking Khan is hardly the 'missing link' in a fighter like Bradley's career. His resume sh1ts all over Khans.

Okay, the guy lost 3 times to Pacquiao (his 1 "win" was a robbery), but is it suddenly a shame to lose to a great boxer like Pacquiao? And he got a draw against Chaves, but any person who saw that fight would agree that Bradley clearly won. He has fought to some impressive victories over the years and he is an unique fighter, being a featherfisted technician who likes to brawl. He goes out of his comfort zone to make a war, which people usually criticize the other black technicians for not doing, such as Ward, Mayweather and Lara. Bradley got massive heart, is very fast, got great stamina and if he had possessed the natural ability to punch hard, I'm pretty confident that he could have been an ATG. IMO, Bradley would beat Thurman, Porter, etc., and he would have given Mayweather trouble before losing. Let's look at some of the wins that this underappreciated great has scored during his career (not including the Pacquiao "win" and has changed the Chaves "draw" into a win): https://s29.postimg.org/591bcug1z/bradleyresume.jpg He lost twice to Pacquiao and won a close fight in the first meeting. That being said, Bradley would have got whooped by Mayweather, and he should steer clear of Thurman, Spence, and also stay away from 154

He also fought Ward in the amatuers. Ward said he was the toughest guy he fought at the amatuer level

Good fighter - liked Tim alot Would like to see Bradley vs Brook and Bradley vs Cotto Both fights would be solid wars

Good fighter. Far from legendary. Will probably get into the HOF but he's boarderline for me. This .....

yeah at 140, hasn't really done much at WW he beat marquez tho which was a big accomplishment

What makes him interesting is that he is a non-puncher brawler with iron chin. No one gets ko'd, 12 rounds of brawling (: His fights has always been fun to watch, never got bored.

Was one of his biggest fans, but I still think he's a bitch boy for the way he left Joel Diaz. I call him Mr. Monica Bradley. Fuck that melon headed midget.
