Timothy Bradley, overrated or underrated?

[hugh grant]

Well, he lost a wide decision to Pac, but somehow convinced the judges he won. So he is overated.
Can you imagine Margarito getting the decision against Pac after being battered like he was? Or Joshua Clottey getting the decision? Probably not!"

So Bradley is better than Margarito and Clottey as of now. He went one better.

So what you're saying is that somehow, in your own deluded vision Bradley got dominated like Margarito and Clottey?? Wow.

[JDezi4]

He has one of the best resume's around today, maybe not top 10, but definitely top 15 (probably even number 11)

He's also very skilled... Literally, that's what brought him where he is today... He doesn't have Khan's speed, or Matthysse's power, or the size of guys like Thurman or Guerrero... And yet he's one of the most accomplished fighters today... That says a lot

Also, other than Pacquiao, Mayweather, and maybe Thurman... Hell, I even still sorta favor Khan... I can't see anyone in his division beating him

Bradley is an enigma, either overrated to the point of being a top p4p player, or underrated to being an average fighter who holds a title. Bradley is a solid fighter who will give a tough night to most people in or around his weightclass. Nothing more, nothing less. His wins over witter, holt, Peterson, abregu and Alexander proved he is a solid champion. Add to that his win over an undersized Miguel Vasquez and an old casamayor and you have a good resume. He got the w against pacman in which he lost a clear but close decision and the nod over provodnikov in a fight that could have went either way, but people hold these last two fights against him far too much. You also get delusional people who think he deserved the W over PAC. In my opinion he's a solid champion, much like a Daniel geale, or marco huck, no more of a p4p fighter than these two and no more of a bum than either.

If Mares can crack the top 10 PFP, then Bradley sure as hell has p4p skills as well.

Same goes for guys like Donaire, Sergio, oh dear God, Broner is in the Ring's top 10 P4P. Yep, Bradley damn sure has a case.

exactly, look at his resumes he struggles in two fights and now he's crap i guess.

he's being underrated maybe he should move back down to 140 if he struggles against marquez or loses.

[El Angel]

Why are people dreaming about Cotto-Marquez? Is that fight even realistic? Cotto's not moving down to welterweight, and Marquez is already too damn big where he is now.

That's the FOTY and two of the biggest names in the sport. At 150, that's an absolute war. Marquez's uppercuts would do work, but he'd constantly have to fight off Cotto's jab. I don't see why anyone wouldn't want to see that fight.

[right_hand_lead]

Bradley is intriguing in that his chin isn't great by any stretch, but his legs keep him out of trouble.

I have no idea how he stayed on his feet during the Provodnikov fight. He's easily hurt, but difficult to put away.

He's good enough to give anyone trouble if he fights the right fight, but a heavy puncher that can box could beat him handily (JMM).

[#YOLO]

But you don't rank guys based on them fighting to prove a point, you base it on their performance in the ring and truth of the matter is, he didn't look that good against a guy who had most of his fights on FNF and had never fought at WW before.

You make a good point here, and take the credit away from Provo who was forcing Bradley into a war.
