why is Tim Bradley #1 JrWW on anybody's list?

[Phenom]

If you asked me on January 1st of this year:

What is more impressive, a stoppage win over Devon Alexander, or a stoppage win over Judah?

I would have said that beating Dev is the better accomplishment.

he didn't stop Alexander but yes Alexander was ranked 3 I believe so it's a better win then Judah, Khan was the more dominant in his fight

[Spray_resistant]

Still better than what Judah was perceived though.

I mean yes Alexander was overhyped cuz' of one damn uppercut. I never bough into the Alexander hype...But, Judah?

I take the Alexander win>>>>Judah win.

Saying that however Bradley has been to inactive lately to keep the #1 spot. While Khan has beating top 10 JWW on a consistent basis since Bradley inactivity.

We all know Zab is a mental midget and fails at the A level but he has talent and was beaten very easily by Khan where both Bradley and Alexander look unimpressive.

Bradley's resume:

Devon Alexander (gave Matthysse all he could handle)
Kendall Holt (has wins over Hlatschwayo, Hopkins, Torres, and KO'ed Diaz quicker than Pac)
Junior Witter (was game at that point)
Miguel Vazquez (arguably the best LW right now)
Lamont Peterson (gave Victor Ortiz all he could handle, will destroy Cayo this weekend)
Nate Campbell (coming off an impressive win. Who knows which version showed up)

Whether you like it or not, he's cleared the division outside of Maidana and Khan. You can't say the same about those two. You can have your opinions on who's better (even I think Khan is at this point), but he's earned that #1 spot and to be the best, you've gotta beat the best. Just like Floyd will never be p4p king without beating Manny, whether you think he's better or not.

You can't really rate the win over Alexander that highly, Alexander should have lost his last 3 fights and i would struggle to even put him in the top 5 at JWW

Alexander also has talent...So I don't get why even bring that up for Judah and not mentioning it for Alexander.

You can also say Judah was past his prime, which he really was and that Alexander was in his prime.

Did Khan look more impressive? Yea. But, I still think Alexander is better than then this version of Judah.

Saying all that though, I would put Khan over Bradley right now. Recent inactivity is what's hurting Bradley on my ranking.

man , kotelnik who khan beat already beat devon before bradley did.

man , kotelnik who khan beat already beat devon before bradley did.

To be fair, Kotelnik would have schooled Judah too.

I would like to see L. Peterson vs Maidana or Kotelnik because imo those are the 2-3 best guys on Bradley's and Khan's resumes.

Fine if you don't want to rank the Alexander win that highly. I can see it and agree with it. But, you can't rank the Judah win highly at all either. I mean I think it was safe to say that Judah only had a punchers chance if that, IF THAT...Going into the Khan fight.

But, I agree Khan should be rank higher. But, it's mainly due to Bradley recent inactivity.

he earned the #1 spot AT THE TIME but that doesn't mean you can't lose it.

just because he hasn't lost doesn't mean he can't get bumped down.


khan's 140 resume is more impressive imo.

even if you think bradley's is better , the fact that it's comparable even though khan just jumped to 140 2 years ago says it all.
