    Berto is too big and way too strong for the feather fisted Bradley.

    People are too harsh on Berto and too high on Bradley if you ask me, Berto is a damn ox
    Berto is a moronic fighter who fought poor competition. The guy got smoked by Victor Ortiz. Bradley would make him look foolish.

      If his mental state is right. Gee, where have I heard that nonsense before?

        Ortiz is a freight train though that could make 160 & do alright. Bradley on the other hand belongs ideally at 140.

        Berto would wreck pint-sized Bradley;

          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?
          I am not sure I understand your grading system.Brooks, Ortiz, Berto, Bailey and Jones are all rated in the top 10 welterweights in the world. I would think they would all be A level or at least A- level. B- sounds like a guy rated #30 in the world or less. I think Bradley beats Jones and Bailey and has a 50 50 chance to beat Brooks, Ortiz, and Berto. Yes, Pacquiao beat him by a mile but Pacquiao would be favored to beat those guys by a mile as well. Bradley was rock hard at 146lbs. Mayweather and Pacquiao are in the A+ class at welterweight. Bradley is the best 140 lb. fighter in the world and 7lbs. to welterweight is a small difference. I rate him a class A welterweight, after all he is a world champ at 147.

            Who beats him then? He already beat Alexander...at 147 he'd beat him worse because he has more power. Tim also beats Berto, Ortiz and anyone else you throw in there. A-level guys were getting trashed and destroyed right and left by Pac....that didn't happen to Bradley so I'd say he is a step above almost anyone at 147.

            Laughing at the idea of people saying these guys stop Bradley. Pac apparently hit him with 190 power shots and couldn't even make him bleed but lesser guys will stop him....I see the logic.

              in boxing today, B-Level is Top Of The Food Chain!

              because it is a lot of fighters who are C Level but are being promoted as A-Level Fighters! Some thought Bute was "A-Level" hahaha

                  Yeah, a B level fighter who in my eyes fought to a draw with a supposed A+ Fighter of the Decade, #2 P4P, "#1" WW of the world Manny Pacquiao.

                  If Bradley is a B level WW, so is Manny.

                  And, I see Bradley beating Berto, Alexander, Ortiz, Khan, Jones. And he'd do a lot better in a rematch with Pacquiao. While Pacquiao will stay the same. Cause the thing is, with Pacquiao what you see is what you get. He's not gonna come in the rematch and adjust to anything at all, he's gonna come in and probably be more reckless but with the same style. Pac only has one style. The Marquez-Pacquiao trilogy is evidence of this, where Marquez improved all 3 times, adjusted, while Pacquiao stayed as the same exact fighter with the same style throughout the whole trilogy. Despite the HBO commentator crew trying to convince the fans that he is a different fighter, before the rematch and the third fight, but come fight night it was all false.
