Ghost performance against Floyd is underrated, he did better than canelo
Guerrero would maul and mangle Timothy Bradley

Guerrero at 147 doesn't have the same boxing ability he did at LW, just not the same really.Bradley is a very versatile fighter. Guerrero has shown some versatility, fighting his mauling style against Berto and a solid outside boxing style against Katsidis... but let me ask you, who has Guerrero beaten that matches the skill level of Devon Alexander, or even Lamont Peterson? Let alone Juan Manuel Marquez?Comment

Bradley had a close fight against Pacquiao, whether or not you think he lost it I'm sure you'd agree Bradley put a better effort against Pacquiao than anyone besides Marquez in the last seven years.Yeah too bad Alexander didn't show up to fight and Peterson is just about the same level as Berto. The only great fighter he has under his resume is Marquez and he had all the advantages to win, so my guess is they have both fought about the same level of competition. Only difference is that Bradley seems to be better suited fighting at this weight then Guerrero.
You're straight-up discrediting Bradley's win over Alexander by saying Devon "didn't show up." It's not like he was in the ring alone... he got outfought.
Peterson is a better fighter than Berto, his win over Amir Khan stands taller than anybody Berto has ever beaten and his losses (to Bradley and Matthysse) are more respectable than Berto's losses (Ortiz, Guerrero, and now Soto-Karass who is journeyman-level).
But let's say they are at the same level. What's another fighter of a comparable skill level that Guerrero has beaten? I agree that Guerrero would be a good match for Bradley and that it would be a competitive fight, but where's the evidence in their records that says Guerrero would come out on top against him?Comment

I'm not trying to discredit anything here guy, just saying that both have fought the same level of opposition. I also didn't mention Guerrero winning this fight, as I see it this is going to be a very close fight. I would love to see if Bradley can overcome Guerreros stiff jab and if they choose to fight in the inside both are more then willing to trade punches.

Fair enough. And I don't mean to be so dismissive of Guerrero either, I do like the guy and think he's very skilled. He's someone who prepares his game-plan to tailor-fit every opponent and there's no quit in him. In a lot of ways he resembles Bradley in that he has a wide skill-set, a lot of determination and a chip on his shoulder. It'd definitely be a contest of wills to see who would win between them.I'm not trying to discredit anything here guy, just saying that both have fought the same level of opposition.

Bradley would beat Guerrero up as much as he is capable of beating a fighter up at welterweight. 9-3 or 8-4.Comment

Great points. But Ghost has that chin. And his height would be a beyotch!! Bradley would try to outbox him on the outside like he did Juan, and like Floyd did Ghost. But with Ghost's height, and his chin, Bradley would have to be far away from him. Ghost is a swarmer. Meaning his punches are close together and you will get clipped if you try to fight on the inside. Notice, Floyd clinched him on the inside, and when he got to the ropes, he kept moving. He didnt do any of that shoulder rolling off the ropes.Bradley is a very versatile fighter. Guerrero has shown some versatility, fighting his mauling style against Berto and a solid outside boxing style against Katsidis... but let me ask you, who has Guerrero beaten that matches the skill level of Devon Alexander, or even Lamont Peterson?
