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

    Garcia's resume is better than Bradley's at 140 at 25 years old. It appears DG is unsure if he wants to move up to 147, it seems he wants to, but doesn't want to just drop the 140 belts, so his 140 resume could expand for at least one more fight. IDK who since he already beat every one he possibly could beat, given the promotional circumstances.

    One thing that separates Garcia's career from Bradley's is that he actually has become the champion at 140, something Bradley vs Khan would have settled but Bradley outright ducked the fight. I mean, duck legit, not fans going crazy accusing a fighter of ducking, I mean from Bradley's own mouth "If I Lose To Amir Khan I'm Out Of The Mayweather/Pacquiao Sweepstakes".

    To add insult to injury, Garcia was nothing but a replacement for Peterson and was the heavy underdog. He was supposed to lose that night.

      Top 5 and top 10 according to what? Judah was IBF Champion but not top 5? What?

        Khan beat Maidana, Kotelnik, Judah, Malignaggi who ere in the top 5

        Bradley has Witter, Alexander, Holt (?), who else I can't remember?

          Danny didn't need to take the Khan fight. He was a newly crowned champion and many felt GBP were just cashing in on him already. He also didn't need to take the Matthysse fight. I used to think he was average as hell but he earned my respect and admiration unlike Bradley.

            Both Judah and Malignaggi were in the top 5 of the rings rankings when khan fought them.

            Unless you're going by something else?

              The Ring rankings are someone's opinion. Why do people act like they are somehow official and talk about them so matter of factly? Who was ranked above Judah exactly?

                He was.

                As was Pauli, who was #5.

                  Both of them were anyway according to The Ring.

                  Khan beat more than Bradley I think.

                    This has got to be a joke thread.

                    Bradley is an elite fighter. He's been at the elite level since 2009.

                      It just seems common sense to me that a champion in the division would be a top 5 fighter regardless of what Ring say.
