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

End of 2009 Pauli was #5
Khan fought him in 2010 in which he hadn't moved.
As I said, Pauli was #5 when khan fought him.
I just looked at the rankings and Holt wasn't top 5 when Bradley fought him either.
So Bradley hasn't beaten more top 5 ranked JWW's than Khan, he's beaten less.
Khan - Maidana, Kotelnik, Pauli
Bradley - Alexander and Witter.Comment

Maidana jumped over Paulie after beating Victor Cayo. That dropped Paulie to #6:

Either way, Bradley hasn't beaten more Top 5 guys than Khan.
Could have sworn Pauli was #5 but maybe he wasn't.Comment

Most of the beltholders are alway ranked in around the top 4 (overall rankings) and Khan was the WBA champ at the time so am expecting him, Bradley, Alexander and Urango to be ranked in the top 4. Not sure who would be number 5-10 at the time but am sure Paulie was in the top 10.Comment

Dude was this early in the yr or late?? Paulie could have been ranked top 5 before he lost to Diaz..http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Th...rweight--2000s

Same goes for Holt list change in the course of a yr..What you posted seems more of how three div was ranked going into the yr..Comment

Bottom line is Bradley was the man at 140 and now is 2nd in command at 147 while Khan is done and about to cash out on his career with another loss against Mayweather.
Tim has got to be the best "average boxer" I think I've ever seen. If he is that successful by being "average" then what are all these other guys that get hyped up and fall to pieces when faced with adversity? I know they can't possibly be better than "average" so just how good are they?Comment

Tim's footwork is exceptional imo, it's something that not a lot of fans give hm credit for since it's not an immediately obvious attribute like power and speed are.
His versatility is also phenomenal, he's one of the few fighters who can approach a fight in a variety of ways. Only Andre Ward matches him in terms of having a flexible style.Comment

Dude those rankings are wrong you put up..It has Khan as the number 2 fighter in the div when he had not fought Paulie M or Maidana yet..Look at the 09 rankings they are wrong..
Not to mention it has Alexander ranked ahead of Urango and they did not even fight until 2010..Sorry those rankings ate clearly wrong..I remember Holt being top 5..Paulie WA not, and that link was a joke..Last edited by Rome-By-Ko; 10-26-2013, 08:16 PM.Comment

The Marquez fight was the first time Bradley truly looked above average in my eyes. He's always been solid in several different categories, but I was never impressed by him to be honest.Comment
