Bradley was a better fighter than announcer by far, he's always comparing himself to others is very arrogant and comes across as an uppity negro which many folks hate about him but won't say! Then he want to come across as a know it all know different than Floyd Sr, Jr., and many others whom graced the ring. So I say ****kk him too!

I am really surprised that most people seem to be sleeping on Andy Cruz. He is an Olympic gold medalist, he passes the eyeball test in much the same way that someone like Boots Ennis does, but at the same time he does not get much attention, commentary, discussions even from hard core boxing fans. I honestly think he is so good that I would not bet money against him in any situation against any of the superstars at lightweight.

He needs to be much busier , that will get him noticed more.

None of these are really that debatable. Cruz looks like he is ready to roll, anyone who doubts Inoue and his dominance are not boxing fans, and Bradley was a good fighter who managed to carve out a great career.

Come on Boxing Scene.... pick some hot takes that will spark some real fun fire in the comments section.

There's at least a few things he does that are problematic. Backs out in a straight line, recoils his hands low while staying in range after single jabs. That's why he got rocked hard vs Moran. He's very sharp though. Reminds me of De Los Santos in some ways. I definitely think he could be in the mix at lightweight though, but he's still got some work to do to clean up his game. He shouldn't be getting hit clean at that level if he's supposed to compete with the likes of Tank Davis, Shakur, or Loma.

His hands are very fast and accurate. When he fought Keyshawn in the amateurs, every time they came together and exchanged punches, he always got the better of it. Every single time. Maybe he stays in range because of his supreme confidence in his ability?

Owe the fighters are aware in fact Keyshawn didn't even want to shake his hand after his fight. He very solid but need a few more fights before I say he's ready!
