    I like Bradley, but he's just not that good.

    Don't get me wrong I'm not hating, I admire his chin, relentlessness and will but he's just not 'elite', he doesn't have the 'it factor'. He has no power, and his defense really isn't anything special either, he is certainly not 'slick' it pisses me off when I hear people call him slick and a 'technician' like Schafer did, I think the 'slick' label simply comes from him being African American.

    He's now ranked no3 p4p by the ring which is an absolute joke, sorry but he would get beaten again by Pacquiao easily, Ortiz would possibly beat him(yes I did just say that ), Danny Garcia would beat him and he'd have zero chance against Mayweather.

    A robbery against Pac and a out boxing of an old man? Sorry I'm not buying the hype, yeah I know you'll bring up the Marquez KO but I don't follow triangle theories, Marquez always had Pac's number and even then you have to remember that they fought 4 times and Pac knocked him down like 5 times.

    I like Bradley, but he's nothing special.

    I would like Bradley better if he just admitted that he lost to Manny. Other than that he is a pretty good fighter.

      bradley is good at almost everything, his speed is what separates him from others. you have to respect a guy who has that will power and ability to make a great fight.

        I felt 2 of his last 3 previous fights have been Draws. So yeah, he's really good. If you can fight to a Draw with two ATG's, then you are pretty special.

        Did he beat Pacquiao and Marquez? Nope, not in my book. For me this, jabs>power punches, is not true.

        I had Canelo beating Trout for the same reason, I am not going to give the fighter who ran and jabbed his way through 12 rounds the win, no way. Bradley didn't beat Marquez or Pacquiao, but he was good enough to fight to a draw with them, in my eyes. That's pretty damn good.

            Sorry but that's ludicrous, Pac beat Bradley easily. Marquez hardly landed on Bradley and made him to the backstroke in round 12.

              I don't think he's he's overly good in the sense of being top elite level, but he proved me wrong with Marquez. He's not far off.

              Anyone who legitimately beats Marquez is very good.

                Hes good at fooling judges his twitching arm he claims is a jab should be scoring points.

                I think Bradley got it right when he said Pac was a bad man, and all of Pacs punches were venomous and had intent. Basically the opposite of what Bradley is about.

                  Hardly landed? He landed more power shots.
