    Bradley is under-hyped outside here.

    He deserves to become a big name, just hasn't gotten the promotor to do so. He'll get his time though.

Sure he's good, but nowhere near the way certain posters here were making him out to be. He throws a lot of wide wild looping punches. He sure as hell isnt ready for the likes of Pac or Floyd.

      Anyone feel the same?
      Maidana and Ortiz are more over hyped than Bradley. Both of them have looked terrible in fights but a lot of people choose to ignore that.

        Ortiz isn't even a headliner anymore and Maidana crushed a solid opponent in his last fight. Unlike Bradley who gets dumped on his ass all the time and pecks his way to unanimous decisions. If he wants to get noticed he could start by sitting down on his punches once in awhile.

          he has looked better and better for the past two years.

          he has already established himself as the man at 140. looking a bit underwhelming for one fight in a jump up to welterweight shouldn't be a big deal. there will probably come a time when alexander doesn't look as spectacular as he did the fight before.

            Yeah and clottey also has a promoter thats worth a *** and we all know Clottey was just a last minute kinda throw him in there opponent.


            I'm not saying that bradley can't hang with Pac because im sure he would give Pac a hell of a fight, but when people act like Bradley vs Pac is this "must have" fight it makes me chuckle a little bit.

            It's like saying "we must have" Mayweather vs Berto!

              It's definitely not the "must have" fight..

                Overhyped? The "Hype" is just starting for him so how can he be "Overhyped"

                Overhyped is what Amir Khan is, get KO'd be a C- Class fighter in Prescott, figh a few old guys and soft punchers and beat them and now all of a sudden he is the "Next Cash Cow"

                Bradley hype is coming from his work in the ring, Pacman fans stop hatin because he called out Manny, he called out everybody not just Manny

                    Only Holt knocked Bradley down. That's not all the time. Unlike Ortiz he came back and Dominated. Ortiz quit. So much for the cliche warrior tag. And Bradley has beaten a lot more top fighers than Maidana.Maybe when Maidana learns to move his head you can talk.

                      As of the Abregu fight, yes he is. Prior to that he deserved all the praise. His resume already looks great and he is a talented fighter. But people on here go buck wild over call outs. He could hold his own against Pac at 140, but he'd get murdered by him or by Floyd at 147. And he still has no excuse for not fighting Alexander.
