Comments Thread For: Bradley, Froch, Marquez Announced For Hall of Fame Class of 2023

[SilverMiles]

exactly what has bradley done in his career that makes him a hall of famer?

I wouldn't consider Bradley a bonafide Hall of Famer but an argument can be made that he belongs, an argument I would agree with.

- 2 Division Champion
- Former Unified Champion
- Wins over 2 Hall of Famers, one being an All Time Great although via controversial decision.
- Only lost to an All Time Great.
- Wins over Peterson, Alexander, Holt, Vargas, Witter, Abregu, Ruslan and Vasquez rounds out a pretty good career.
- Fight of the Year Winner, a worthy accomplishment in my opinion.
- Reached #3 on the LB for LB list.
- Stayed in the top 5 LB for LB for over 2 years.
- Stay within the top 10 LB for LB for over 3 years.

Beat two hof fighters, one an atg. We all thought it was a garbage decision but that is what his record shows. As i also mentioned, it doesn't seem like a big deal now but that win over alexander was considered big.

so did Bert Lytell and he's not in the HOF and won't get in lol.

Timmy is not a HOFer

I'm actually happy for froch. I know he divides opinion but he squeezed everything out of his talent and he went on one of the great runs in modern boxing from Jean pascal to the second groves fight

[harry-greb]

None of them are HoF worthy. Bradley's career achievement is getting ****d by Pac three times. He beat ghost of Marquez.

Froch is directly bum. No need for explanation.

You mean the ghost of Marquez that flattened pacquiao in his previous fight???

Froch is in no way a bum. Look at his resumé, particularly his run from Jean pascal to groves 2.

Also cleaned out 140, more or less

If Froch was an american with the run he had he’d be a shoe-in first ballot hall of famer. Bradley is the weakest here.
