I think he is comfortable there for the meantime.
Bradley has looked like that since the Witter fight, if you watch the build up to the Witter fight he says has something ridiculous like 5/6% body fat.Comment

He will be fine at jr ww he looks good even better everytime I see him so obviously making the weight is not effecting his performance. He looks bulked up but is short, even if he does put on 10lbs after weigh ins that pretty standard anyway at the world class level.
He is too small for ww, he may not have the chin and certainly doesn't have the power to compete with some of the heavier hitters there.Comment

people might think that he is a big LWW because he has alot of muscle mass but when you look at his measurements (height, chest, biceps, calfs etc) he os a medium sized WW. just because the guy is ripped and has alot of muscle don't think he is a big fighter at the weight, margarito and williams are big 147ers because they have big physical measurements (height, chest, thigh measurements etc).
its actually alot easier for a muscular fighter like bradley or haye to make a lower weight than a big bony fighter like williams, margarito etc. muscle has more water mass and because of that it can be dreid out and allow the fighter to reach a lower weight on fight night. i think im right in saying this....feel free to correct me.Comment

bradley said that he was even considering going down to 135 last year when that division was hot and he wasn't landing big fights at 140. so he's going nowhere for awhileComment

Hopefully he stays at 140, or moves down to 135 if anything. There were some rumors he might go up to 147 to fight Berto before Berto signed with Mosley. I don't think he has the size or power with his fighting style to compete at 147 just because I don't think his boxing would be affective against a guy thats almost half a foot taller and 10-15 pounds heavier. His chin is also going to be tested repeatedly vs. the welterweights.
He was a WW and LMW in the amateurs, so he cut from 152 to 140 from amateurs to pros. I hope he can dominate 135 and 140 in the future.Comment
