Is it me or is Tim Bradley the man @ 140

[BetterCallSaul]

I don't think Bradley is all that. Good defence, good boxing fundamentals, but lacks power, and isn't a spectacular performer. He has beaten decent opposition, but Witter, Holt, and Campbell were never all that great.

He is a good boxer, but he is very beatable. Pacquiao would stop him, and Hatton would have a decent chance of winning a decision. Even though Hatton is way past his best, and probably shot.

bradley's fights are ugly and he kinda seems dirty with the headbutts and lowblows

heres the headbutt-low blow combo platter..........

of course that's certainly a possibility

but do you think Peterson is experienced enough to get by Bradley?

it's a pretty big step up in class for Lamont.

agreed. personally I think the fight is a "pick 'em"

[fightfan_79]

Of course he could. Bradley has a solid chin. A great left hook and he got up. He has not been KO'd yet, unlike Pacman

Was that truly necessary? So Pac got KOd when he was 19 yrs old. Bradley doesn't have the power to hurt Paquiao...need proof....Bradley is 24-0 with 11KOs.....I love Bradley...and a couple months ago...did a thread on how Pac should've taken a "stay busy" fight against Bradley to gauge how he would do against a "young, hungry, in his prime slick fighter".....to setup a Mayweather fight...but Pac chose to fight Cotto. I was knocked for even thinking a fight with Bradley was ****** for 2 reasons.....Bradley would get KTFO and Bradley brings nuthing to the table as far as name, draw, and quality of opposition. Yet after his fight with Nate Campbell....now he is in the same league as Pac? C'mon....GTFOH with that...FACT: Pac KOd the Lineal 140 lb king. FACT: Hatton is still a BEAST at 140 lbs....with only Pacquiao clearly beating him and MAYBE Bradley giving him fits....but Hatton would either KO him late or get a UD.

TS keeps asking for evidence as far as Pac beign able to dominate Bradley....FACT: Made Zombie quit on his stool....I highly doubt Bradley could've accomplished that...much less make DLHs face all swollen. FACT: Pacquiao KOd Hatton in 2 rounds, knocked him down a total of 3 times....all were flush shots that rocked Hatton....as he admitted in a later interview "I never recovered after the 1st KD". FACT: Pacquiao has KOd a fighter in each of the weight divisions he has been in.

Where are the facts to support Bradley is the man at 140lbs? Fact: being #1 contender is not being the man...that makes you #2. Fact: Bradley is like a "african-american version of Paulie Malinaggi"...excellent skills...but not enough power to do any damage against the elite. His KO ratio prooves that.

Don't get me wrong...I think Bradley is worthy of top 10 p4p status...I would put him at #10....but he needs to get in there with Amir Khan or Victor Ortiz to prove he deserves a shot at Pacquiao in order to legitimize his status as top 140lber.

[pistol whip]

bradley is a champion with two belts.....maidana did'nt ko ortiz ,he quit.....bradley will hit him just as much maybe more ,he'd quit again..

Still comparing Bradley's punching power compared to Maidana LOL!! Boy you know nothing about boxing!

[Leffe]

I think he is, Pac wont stay at 140.

[bojangles1987]

If Pacquiao is still a 140 pounder, he is easily the best in the division. Bradley is right behind him though.

I actually believe Peterson has more experience than Bradley. And yes I count amateur experience into that equation. The one experience factor I think Bradley has over Peterson is being stung in a big fight, regrouping and continuing. I applaud him for that but it won't come into play because he doesn't hit hard enough to sting Peterson.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. He isn't Malignaggi, he punches harder. If Bradley sits down on his punches he could do pretty good damage. I don't think Hatton is a "beast" at any weight, not even 140. He was nothing but hype, fought a bunch of "over the hill" fighters, same thing Pac has done at this point. I'm not saying that Pac is a bum or anything like that, just unproven @ 140. He beat a shot Oscar De La Hoya ,who had to kill himself to get to 147, and Hatton who just downed a 6-pack before the fight. I can't see Bradley being absolutely dominated by Pac. I guess we'll agree to disagree.

Pac would KO Bradley within 4 IMO.

I can't believe any logical mind is even having this discussion.
