    As ridiculous as Bradley being in the HOF is, he still deserves it WAY more than Shawn Porter.

    Bradley was actually the #1 fighter in divison, Bradley actually beat P4P ranked fighters and was one himself. Shawn Porter was nothing more than a contender with a paper belt that lost all of his big fights.

      Porter was definitely an over achiever. His determination and durability took him far past his skill level. Average fighter with a great (in terms of what he achieved) career.

        At best Porter was a B + fighter. Not A-, A, or A+

          I don't see how Bradley being in the HOF is ridiculous. His accomplishments are just as good as Cotto's and Cotto was inducted on the first ballot.

          Sure Cotto was a more popular being PR and was in bigger fights but he lost all of the big fights while Bradley only lost is to an ATG.

            I'd rate his career as over.

            Seriously though, he was ok. I never cared for his swarming, brawling style. HOF? FOH!

              Porter was very good. Just a level down from the very top guys.

                  Why is it?

                  I really dislike Bradley, by the way. Don't rate him as a fighter really.

                  But obviously he's on a whole other level to Shawn Porter.
