Do You Think Bradley Could Give Floyd Trouble?

I love Bradley. I think he is the real deal. From the 1st time I saw him I thought he was a right hand version of Zab except he has fundmentals, discipline, heart, and so on. I think he stands like Zab, walks people down like Zab, and sometimes looks like him but he has everything that the Zab fans want Zab to have. I would love to see Floyd fight Bradley. I think Holt is a very good fighter but if Bradley is as good as I think he is then I think Bradley will beat him and probably stop him. I think Bradley would kick Hatton's ass also.

If I just wanted to watch a fight then I would love to see Floyd fight him but as a Floyd fan, I wouldnt want to see it yet because I dont think everyone feels like me about Bradley. They would just see it as a solid win. I want that fight to happened but in the future. That way Bradley can get some more big wins at 140 1st and maybe Floyd will finish off his career with like a home town matchup in Michigan against Bradley. But the question is do you think Floyd would give him trouble? Infact, how do you guys think Bradley matches up with Floyd, Hatton, Pac, JMM, Campbell, Torres, and Holt? I think he beats them all but I could see Pac giving him some trouble for obvious reasons

Yeah I like Bradley a lot. I dunno about the Zab comparison, he seems to be lacking the speed/power of Zab, but he's very skilled and makes up for it in other areas. I don't think he's ready for Mayweather right now, we'll see how he handles Holt. Bradley reminds me of Hopkins the way he launches the right hand from a distance, and let's the range get closer and the punch becomes more and more accurate as the fight wears on and the opponent tires. This dude is the real deal, very bright future in the sport.

interesting....i dont think at the moment, i do see big things coming out of bradley....the guy unfourtantley has no knockout power....that may catch up to him eventually....i think nate campbell could beat him at the moment and so could hatton.....i do think bradley beats holt by ud....but in the 140 division i have hatton, campbell, bradley, and urango...dont think bradley could really cause floyd problems

Bradley is an excellent fighter, but not near Mayweather's level yet. He still has years of development ahead of him.

Not right now, maybe in a couple of years.

Sounds about right. Everyone has an opinion, of course, but there's no evidence Bradley would trouble either PBF or Hatton. Who has Bradley beaten? We just don't know how he good he is, and talk about chances over the likes of JMM and Pacquiao as well as those two is just ridiculous.

It's academic anyway, no offence to Bradley but with JMM, Hatton, Pacquiao and Mayweather all potentially floating around 140 over the next 18 months (not to mention the elite fighters at 147) the fights will be made between themselves, not the likes of Bradley or Holt. Bradley's time will come, but he might have to wait a while.

Im going to bump this thread since Bradley now says that he wants Floyd. Would you mind seeing it at 144?

It wouldn't be a terrible match-up but I do feel it would too much too soon for Bradley.

like when Mayweather is 35+ and out of his prime? lol

It's silly for him to call out or go after Floyd at this stage of his career.
