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.

You are correct! He's not THAT good, but he's good at everything.

Of course Holt would not be ranked number 5 at yrs end if he'd loss to Bradley within the yr...Holt was a top 5 fighter when Bradley beat him..

He wasn't Top 5 the end of the year before either.

What elevated him?

[AVDB]

He schooled Pac & JMM.

You need to be slapped

[BUNGALOWS]

He's better than any WW fighter on Floyd's resume by a mile.

His win over Hopkins..BTW,it does not bother you,that the ring rankings you put up for 2009..Had Devon ranked above Urango??Alexander did not fight Urango until 2010..Khan is ranked above Hatton,which never happened..

His win over Hopkins didn't do anything for his ranking.

I don't think Holt's ever been in the Top 5 at Jr WW.

Don't get the rest of your post. You don't have to beat someone to be ranked ahead of them.

I wouldn't say that Bradley is anything special skill wise per se, he seems ordinary in a lot of ways when you watch him. I mean like people have said, good at just about all areas, but not great anywhere either. However as cliche as it is, what's special about Bradley comes from within. Dude is a gamer, and really just refuses to lose. He's also very good at adapting to the situation.

I do believe that he lost to Pacquiao, but what's done is done and he got the decision somehow. Bradley is like the San Antonio Spurs of boxing. Not nearly the most entertaining team to watch...but all they do is win. That's Bradley.

And you best believe that if they ever made a Floyd/Bradley fight -- it would be competitive. Maybe even VERY competitive. Bradley would give FMJ a better fight that anybody (ANYBODY) in the GB stable. Period.

And for the record I'm not even a Bradley fan in the slightest. But I respect his will to win.

[mathed]

Right, he's a c-level fringe contender who happens to beat all the people placed in front of him, managed to become a multi-millionaire fighting in PPV headliners, and is ranked in the top 5 P4P across the board. Damn, that's one lucky ass dude if I've ever seen one.

Dude,Alexander was not ranked in 09 he had not beat anybody to be ranked..He'd also not been on TV..

Khan was making noise in 09,not enough noise to be ranked 2 behind Bradley and in front of Hatton..Makes no sense bro..I never said you have to beat a fighter to be ranked in front of a fighter...Alexander's claim to fame and what got people to take notice was his fight with Urango..How could he be ranked above him before fighting him??It just does not make sense,and shows you that this link,can not be taking seriously..
