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

[The Ninth Layer]

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.

Garcia's first belt at jww was straight stolen from Bradley so Morales could have it. His record isn't better.

Bradley beat two undefeated jr. welterweights who both became titleholders afterwards. Those two guys (Peterson and Alexander) have wins over the two biggest names on Garcia's record.

I just BoxRec'd Bradley. His resume is SOLID:


Miguel Vazquez - Current Lightweight Champion, #1 in the world
Junior Witter - WBC Champion at the time #1 ranked fighter at 140
Kendall Holt - WBO Champion, #6 in the world
Lamont Peterson - Undefeated and went on to become IBF champion and #1 fighter at 140
Luis Carlos Abregu - #1 in both the WBC and WBO rankings at welterweight. Coming off two good wins and you will hear about him again soon.
Devon Alexander - Undefeated, current IBF welterweight champion
Manny Pacquiao - I scored it for Pac but it was a competitive fight
Ruslan Provonikov - Current WBO champion at 140
Juan Manuel Marquez - Top 3 p4p, best win on his resume

4 guys on Bradley's resume are current champions. Marquez is still a top 5 fighter at 147.

He was.

As was Pauli, who was #5.

Sorry bro your wrong..Paulie was out of the to 5 after his loss to Hatton..Judah also was number 6 ranked..I'm not home right now, but when i get there I'll post the thread after Khan beat Judah and moved into the number spot at Jr WW..

Once again you are downplaying Bradley..He has beat more top 5 opponents then Danny and Khan..

The Khan fight was 2010, the Hatton fight was 2008. Paulie had redeemed himself by beating Juan Diaz at JWW.

I like Bradley as a person but even though he is good, I can't get to like him as a fighter. And I'm over the controversial Pacquiao decision, there is just something that I can't point out. He is the least convincing undefeated champion out there and I think his weird style contributes to that. It's like i'm confused whether his style is good or just some weird crap that gets him thru the night every time.

[Ray Corso]

In todays boxing climate he's one of the best competitors, comes to the ring in great condition and gives great efforts!!! Theres no denying his spirit and heart and other than a poor judges outcome with Manny he is undefeated.
Theres alot of fighters who would just as soon skip fighting him he is extremely difficult to prepare for and I doubt you'll find anyone with his style. He offers good techniques but he's also a bit awkward to face. Juan had alot of difficulty timing him and his jab controled tempo nicely.
I think he's a tuff kid who is just awkward enough to cause problems and throw in his high work rate and you have problems beating him.
He's a champ in many ways. Ray.

Matthysse beat both of them.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Yeah but to those who can actually score, they lost

So if Judah lost to Matthysse, why would he be a top 5 fighter?
