    Bradley is the Welterweight version of Carl Froch

    No hate, Bradley is one of my favourite fighters, but he is not ''slick'' or exceptionally skilled, nor does he have any punching power. What he has (like Froch minus power) is tremendous stamina, a brilliant chin, and fierce determination.

    Bradley simply overwhelms fighters with sheer activity and is a problem for anyone...

    Good comparison, he has better technique than froch but less power. Both have done exceptionally well with the gifts they've been given. Both are solid champions who in my opinion will only fall at the highest of hurdles (froch with ward, Bradley with pacqiaou, mayweather). Bradley also has a great and underrated resume, Witter, holt, Peterson, Alexander, Pacqiaou (even with the bad decision he wernt outclassed), provodnikov, Marquez.

      Bradley is very slick. It's just he uses these awkward movements which make people think he's taking a beating. Every time Bradley fights people see him moving his body and dodging punches but think they're landing simply because of the way he moves. It's gotten to the stage Bradley literally has to point to his shoulder during the fight to tell every one he actually blocked the punch. As one particular youtube video said when he was trying to prove Bradley lost to Pac "Look at him, look at him doing weird things with his body" the 'weird things' was basic head movement, strongly implying the youtuber was a total casual. It's not the boxers who have forgotten to roll with punches and use head movements, it's the fans who have forgotten and don't seem to recognise when the boxers do it these days.

      Bradley is a natural boxer who happens to be able to brawl. Carl Froch is not a boxer. Their fighting styles are totally different. Also Bradley has some good punching power, he just prefers to box. As we saw in the final round when Marquez finally brought the fight in Bradley countered and almost knocked Marquez down. Had Marquez fought more like that throughout Bradley would have knocked him out.

      It's a shame boxing fans don't seem to know how to make .gifs the way they do over at Sherdog because they can settle a lot of arguments very quickly.

          Froch isnt entertaining LOL. He's a slow bum with power, and he fights with his hands down so he can PRETEND to be a flashy elusive fighter like Roy Jones, or Mayweather. That dude is a flatout SUPERbum. And his power makes his fights seem more entertaining than they are. Imagine if he had no power, fighting with those superslow azz hands!! That fight with Kessler was terrible. He was on the outside using the jab as a range finder. Like dude you are NOT a flashy boxer. I could see if he used it to set up power shots, but he only uses it for nothing.

              Both men are super resilient.

              In a sport where it is not all about skill but also the will that is vital. You get the feeling 15 rounders would have suited both men down to the ground.

              Saying that though in certain company both can outbox opponents. Froch was a standout amateur and I am sure Bradley was too.

                bradley is a multidimensional fighter and can be slick if he has to.

                  Froch wish he was Bradley.

                  Froch: My health come first.
