    Bradley doesn't have the defense or boxing ability of Abril or even Alvarado

    Rios isn't Mexican

      Bradley boxes on the back foot often. He did it almost the entire fight against Peterson, very effectively.

          bradley must be kicking himself in the gut right about now, he turned down big money fights against guerrero, khan etc. and took a fight against a nobody for chump change, funny shit

            Bradley would win. Can't see it any other way.

                oh dear. a very jaundiced post.



                Bradley has this one. i don't rule Rios out entirely, because any man who combines his level of will and relentlessness and solid punching has to be given some kind of a chance, especially against a non-puncher who cannot be expected to knock him out. but Bradley is a match for him in the intangibles department and has all the tools needed to neutralize him.

                  bradley would box circles around him lets not forget as bad as the decision was that bradley boxed on 2 bad feet pretty dam good. ya you can say it was from running and it probably was but if he would stayed healthy thru the fight as fare as feet it would been way closer. i think the styles would make a good fight tho i just dont see rios winning more then 3 out of 12 rounds

                    Bradley is at least borderline-elite, in my view. it seems many people are reluctant to acknowledge how good he is and want to see him defeated, but he's going to be very tough to beat if he maintains the drive he carried in his career pre-Pacquiao.
