Bradley Ranked #3 for Welterweights on ESPN

[josenoway]

Do not agree. He came dangerously close to being KO'd multiple times against a junior welterweight that he outweighed by nearly 10 pounds. Demonstrated a great beard, ability to do a Cal-slappy while standing unconscious, that was a great fight for the fans, but a **** fight to prove a top 3 welterweight ranking. If Ruslan was a better finisher, fight could have easily ended in 1 or 2 rounds.

It's 147. Who gives a **** ?

Shallow ass division. He's beaten the IBF champ and the #1 contender for hIs belt

Like when Pacquiao finished a One Legged Bradley, after causing him to Roll/Sprain/Break his ankle. Heart defines a fighter as much a power or speed; if you have nothing else it won't save you... Saying that Bradley is a combination of heart, speed, endurance and skills. That is what saved him and won him the fight. And apparently the attention of many people!

really shows how weak the ww division is in the eyes of espn then....bradley got a gift against pac, and now almost got stopped by a guy ranked #10 at 140lbs by ring mag....

Easily #3 at 147

But this wasn't Pac or anyone nearly equivalent. This was Ruslan Provodnikov for phuck's sake. *Maybe* if he'd been caught just once and it was a fluke, but the JWW had him on ***** street in rounds 1, 2, 6, and forced him to take a knee in the 12th. I know 147 is shallow but considering just the fight in its own regard, that was more of 'I don't deserve to be ranked #3' performance.

Pac couldnt do it... Whats the argument? maybe if Bradley had only fought scrubs his whole career but he hasnt..

Maybe Prov is just better than people think. Give some props.

[Phenom]

1 Mayweather
2 Marquez
3 Bradlley
4 Guerrero

Sure, he deserves it.

The JWW was at ww because he couldn't make jww anymore, Roach said that. Dude had one (1) SD loss that many thought he won. He won his last 5 fights, 4 by KO. Bradley has a better resume than 95% of boxers in the sport regardless of division.
