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

    I think if there's a Pacquiao-Bradley rematch it could be close (and the first fight was not, except to a couple of the judges) unless Pacquiao fights his style and is more aggressive. Bradley doesn't have the firepower and speed to beat a determined Pacquiao.

    Mayweather would probably stop Bradley, as would Danny Garcia in all likelihood. Right now I rate Bradley at 4th or 5th at 147. He's an excellent fighter, but his flaws will catch up to him sooner or later and we won't be talking about him much after that.

      This seems to be wishful thinking from all the haters/fly by night boxing fans..I've been hearing this for sometime..Still waiting..

      I bet if Bradley would lose to Mayweather or Pac(atg fighters)people would say see told you Bradley was a hype job..LMFAO..Boxing fans these days..

          Bradley's been the under dog pretty much his whole career and still is being down played. Bradley keeps winning and haters keep bit(hing.

            He don't have to be great in this ERA of OVERRATED HYPE JOBS who networks drool over because they scored an impressive KO against a Below Average Fighter

            But Bradley is a very good fighter, he just doesn't do ONE thing "GREAT" that stands out to the Low IQ Casual Fans who only tune in hoping to see a KO within 4 Rounds or just want to see two brainless fighters stand and block punches with their face like that guy that recently fought Juan Diaz

            Bradley does everything good enough but nothing great and that is what makes him somewhat difficult to fight because you really can't prepare for one thing to look out for against Bradley

            When Bradley is BOXING like he did against JMM...he can be extremely hard to beat especially if you don't have the Boxing Skills to know how to cut the ring off or how to counter his LATERAL Quickness

              He didn't beat Pacquiao if we being honest to reality but he convincingly beat JMM just having one of those names on your resume with a W next to it makes you that good. People have no appreciation for how hard it is to get to that level, and compete let alone get wins.

                Bradley doesn't deserve to be #3 P4P but then the ring magazine's p4p is a bit of a joke, Broner and Canelo in there ahead of guys like Rigondeaux, Roman Gonzalez, Froch, Donaire, Garcia etc.

                Bradley is elite though, his defence is very good. His attack is somewhat limited, particularly his counter punching but he is very difficult to beat.

                  But when it comes to cleaning out respective divisions, yes I would agree Danny has left no doubt he is the best 140 lb. but Timmy could still be 2nd or 3rd @ 147 depending how u saw the pac fight
                  Debatable whether it was even legit or not. An unconvincing win over a 40 year old Marquez doesn't put his resume above Garcia's for me. And Garcia is 5 years younger. Garcia has done everything that's been asked of him up until his age and has ducked no one (unlike Bradley).
