Bradley At 150! pic inside

[Guest]

eh I think looking at frame he might have a chance .. but Bradley doesn't carry the power to hang with the bigger men at 147, IMO.

Yeah I agree with this. He's tough as nails but he's little and he can be hit by the jab more against the bigger guys.
And Kendall Holt who is not known for having a cast iron chin was never fazed by his shots. Just imagine a big welter.

Bradley would make anyone work, but he's a little, little man at 5'6.

Yesterday everyone was saying that there is no way he can fight at WW because he would get KO but I told them, how do they know that he wont be like Cotto who had a weak chin at 140 because he was drained but had a strong chin at WW? Bradley may look better at WW because he doesnt have to kill himself to make weight

Bradley, Hatton and Pacquiao are all the same height, and would probably all have trouble north of 147 for the exact same reasons (lack of size being one)


**I know Pacquiao is undefeated at 147 but only fight vs DLH not a great test of how good Pac stacks up at Welter.

and sure Cotto's only an inch in height (5'7) on Pac, Hatton and Bradley

but he's physically much stronger and more suited at the weight (147)

**hey we'll see though if Bradley ever makes the move up to Welter.

I would like to say "It won't hurt if Bradley tries to go WW"

but I do think it will really hurt him.

There is a great article in the link below on how Bradley keeps in shape and his dieting habits:

Well worth a read.

Thanks! Great article

He'd be hard pressed to do well at 147 - he just doesn't have the height or reach to fight there. I remember reading a while back that he thinks he can make 135. Frankly, if he loses his belts he might be better served by moving down there. There are more big fights to be made at 135, and if he can carry his power down he could be a beast compared to some of the lighter punchers in the division.

Yeah, he looks pretty small to me, i'd think he'd better served sticking where he is-or going down.

If he goes up, he faces the exact same issues Hatton does at that weight, and even more so because Hatton is reasonably heavy handed and can hurt fighters at the top level. Bradley punches his weight - no more.

bradley is too short to be at jr. middle.

[VatoMulatto]

People used to tell Montell Griffin he was too short for Light HW (Montell is 5'7) but he managed to have a pretty good career at 175. If Bradley feel strong at 147 and 154 then I can see him move up in the future.
