    all the others
    kell brook, randall bailey, paulie, berto . i think bradley can take them all out


    Doubt it. Brook & Berto beat the head off him. Bailey has a punchers chance & I'd say Paulie had a reasonable shot of outboxing him.

    Bradley isn't what hes being cracked up to be especially at 147. Any fighter who can box off the backfoot gives Pacquaio problems.

      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?

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.
      After reading this and thinking things over I am going to say Bradley is an A+ welterweight just below Floyd and Pacquiao. I favor him to beat anyone else at 147. He has alot going for himself. He has lots of heart and determination. He trains extremely hard. He has great stamina and can throw lots of punches all fight. He takes punches very well and has good speed and skill.Other than the Pacquiao fight he has won all his fights by a good margin. He beat Alexander and Peterson easily. He fought much of the Pacquiao fight with bad ankles which had to handicap him.

        Whatever he is now, he's going to be half the fighter after a Pacquiao rematch.

            People are too harsh on Berto and too high on Bradley if you ask me, Berto is a damn ox
            Bahahaha, yet you were the same ****** that was so quick to point out that what happens in the AMs doesn't mean **** when someone brought up the fact that Khan had beaten Ortiz in them yet you use it to justify your own point?

            You are seriously one of the worst posters on here.

            Not to mention you think someone like Randall ****ing Bailey would beat Tim Bradley Timmeh would win every single round in a lopsided schoolage against Bailey.

            Some absolutely ridiculous posts in this thread.

              Bradley for me has always been a jack of all trades, master of none.
              Hes pretty solid all round but does nothing great/brilliantly.
              This.
              At 147 I could see him beating alexander again n also jones. Jones would actually be n easy fight for Bradley. That guy cant box for crap inside or out. Berto n Ortiz would b competitive for 6 rounds n then its all downhill for Bradley. Also for that Mathed dude that apparently dont know what his watching- Bradley has never relied on his power so I don't know what your trying to get at. Even at 147 Bradley has no power

                I am a Pacquiao fan and I think Pacquiao wins the rematch.I also believe Bradley has the heart, will power and strenth of character to come back stronger than ever from a defeat, even by KO. Pacquiao has come back strong from KO losses and so has Hearns, Joe Louis, Lennox Lewis, Jack Dempsey, Wladimir Klitschko and many others. It can be done.

                  The AMs comment had a very valid point though seeing he blamed those losses on the size differential not to mention the fact Berto is even bigger & stronger now. I think his style is more suited to the pro game too.
                  Bradley would be better off at 140, just my two cents.

                  I never said Randall Bailey would beat Tim Bradley, the most I've said is he has a punchers chance which he would & I think you'd probably have to give Bailey a punchers chance against just about anybody at 147, even 154 & maybe 160 he hits that damn hard.

                    Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are A-Level fighters. Once they retire we will see nothing but B-Level Welterweights and fighters around that weight class fighting. Just because Bradley or Khan will be future champions perhaps even unified Champions that does not make them A-Level. They're B-Level fighters surrounded by B and C-Level fighters. Pacquiao and Mayweather are the only A-Level Welterweights.

                      Tough one to call with Alexander.. he did look good against Maidana at 147 but he couldn't do much against Bradley at 140. I wouldnt be against a 147 rematch, even though the first fight wasn't too entertaining.
