    Is Bradley a B-Level welterweight?

    Judging by his fights at welterweight against Abregu and Pacquiao is Bradley actually a B-level fighter at 147?

    I think he looks much better at 140 but at 147 he looks very average. We all know Pacquiao beat him but it probably doesn't stop there. How would he do against Brook, Ortiz, Berto, Bailey, even Jones. Possibly a very good chance he gets beaten by all of them?

    Hmm. I think for some odd reason Devon Alexander beats him at 147 in a rematch.

      Yes I have to probably agree, tbh I think all those guys at 147 beat him and probably even stop him.


      Bradley for me has always been a jack of all trades, master of none.
      Hes pretty solid all round but does nothing great/brilliantly.

        No, because no one at WW except Floyd and Manny can beat him.

        I feel he beats Ortiz, Berto, Brook and all those other WW's with ease.

        Too many people on here are too blinded by the decision to give Bradley his proper credit.

        1. None of those guys are KO'ing him or getting a TKO over Bradley.

        2. None of those guys are outboxing him.

        3. None of them have the mental toughness and will to beat Bradley.

        Bradley if clearly the best fighter 147 and below, behind Manny and Floyd.

        The only guy I feel that is a toss up for that third spot is Amir Khan, so that bout will be interesting if it ever goes down.

          good question

          Bradley's proportions aren't ideal for "boxing" with the typical sized welter

          If he tries swarming some of those guys mentioned, he can walk right into their power.

            Kell Brook outboxes Timmy. Amir Khan isn't that good. Kell Brook is a much better boxer.

              Kell Brook losing to Bradley is lopsided fashion.

              I really don't understand the dislike for Bradley (well actually I do) as Tim easily beat Peterson, Alexander and Witter.

              Also in the Pacquiao fight, he did a lot of good things and proved he is an elite fighter.

                He's a good boxer but he doesn't have the build for Welterweight, neither does Pacquiao to be honest which is why I don't get him dragging Marquez and Bradley up to 147lb.

                  I don't either. People are acting like Tim didn't win 3-5 rounds here. That's more than Hatton, Cotto, Clotey, margarito, and Oldsley.

                    With that logic then since pac lost that would make pac a b fighter or less right?
