should Tim Bradley fight a legit WW before a Pac fight?

[Hougigo]

Are you still ranking Khan #1?

Bradley had 2 fights earlier this year, last one being against Casa and the other one against a top 3 JWW. He won both Handily without a problem. Yes Casa has been old for awhile. No argument here and that win should hold little weight. However, look at how he won. And, then name anyone, anybody who has ever beat Casa that easily before. I will wait...

He holds a win over the guy that just beat who had an argument for being the best JWW.

So again, who do you rank or feel should be rank above Bradley at JWW?

It's a simple question.

HOnestly, I think they're still ranking Khan as their number 1 because he was their number 1 when Bradley was having legal problems and didn't beat somebody they were impressed with while Khan lost.
Honestly, Bradley has always been better than Khan, the only reason he lost his position was because he didn't fight for 8 months and everybody who listed was looking for a reason to move Khan up.
They say who has Bradley beat.... well what about Khan?
We could all play this game all day and everybody could come up with reasons why one's resume is better than the other. At the end of the day, Bradley has the better skill set and the ability to beat Khan.

I think Bradley is the best JWW right now. I don't see anyone beating him right now at JWW.

But, I also think that he has the best resume to be ranked #1. I agreed with moving Khan to #1 and Bradley down to #2. When Khan beat Judah. But, after Khan lost to Peterson, considering Bradley clearly beat Peterson. Then you have to move Bradley #1, with Peterson #2, and Khan at #3. If Bradley didn't have that win over Peterson. I could see Bradley not being rank #1. But, he has that win.

It's no coincidence that the 2 best boxing rankings and the 2 least unbiased rankings have Bradley #1 at JWW in the Ring and boxingscene.

Bradley did beat 29-0 welterweight Luis Carlos Abregu last year and has a onesided win over Peterson. He is worthy a title shot at 147.

[percypercy]

BS. to fight the champ at 147 he has to beat at least one named guy if not berto or ortiz then a guy like jan zaveck would be a perfect test at 147 or even a kell brook whos a solid guy and has more of a name as an exciting fighter than bradley already

[game20ver]

Nope, Pacquiao's been fighting catchweights all over the place and looked bad against a lightweight in his last fight so Bradley might be a good opponent, there's no reason to make anyone earn a fight against Pacquiao anymore, they're on equal footing in the division.

[New England]

considering that most folk had marquez beating pacquiao in their third fight i'd call him a legit WW in that sense

as legit as pacquiao, at least.


i'd love to see marquez and bradley fight.

catchweight
143 lbs.

bradley can still do it, and marquez deserves a level playing field.

i think it could be a hell of a fight, with bradley trying to fight a bigger man's fight and marquez trying to land shots and get respect

marquez would find a way to get dropped or hurt early, and then make a fight of it

[bojangles1987]

like I said he hasn't done anything as of late to be called the #1 JrWW while other guys in the division had been putting in work if we people are dropping Khan from the #1 because of his loss then they should drop Bradley as well for taking Cassa fight IMO

Considering people were trying to make a case for Alexander being #1 at 140 when Bradley beat him THIS YEAR, I'd say he has done more than enough to be ranked #1 in the division.

[Alec900]

I want to see Bradley vs JMM!!!

[WarMaidana]

The difference between Bradley and Ortiz is that Bradley is the number 1 ranked LWW fighter, and has fought all the top guys in that division except Khan. So for him to move up, and fight the #1 ranked WW, is cool.

Here is another point, had Khan won that fight with Peterson, he would be the next viable opponent for Floyd, which is cool as well but you *****s wouldnt be complaining so much as you are doing now...

he fought all the top guys? Maidana, Matthysse, Khan, Alvarado, Marquez and Rios (they both could fight at 140)

[915angel]

'if' he's serious i wanna see him fight berto/ortiz that would be the 1st good fight at 147
