No announcement yet.
I like Bradley, but he's just not that good.

Originally posted by JDezi4 View PostI've been sayin this... The only thing that holds Bradley back are those good genetics Pacquiao and Mayweather have...
He's short, he has only slightly above average speed, and no power
If he didn't work so hard and dedicated himself to his craft he wouldn't have even been a blip on the boxing radar

Originally posted by PAC-BOY View PostI would like Bradley better if he just admitted that he lost to Manny. Other than that he is a pretty good fighter.
Only time I've seen it was during an interview between Leonard and Hearns where Leonard admitted that Hearns should have gotten the decision.

There just isn't enough coverage of boxing personalities on TV for the public to know who they are. ESPN only talks about boxing briefly when Floyd or Pac are fighting and even then it's only a 10 second spot at most. Imagine how much bigger boxing would be if it got coverage like the bigger sports.

Originally posted by -Kev- View PostI felt 2 of his last 3 previous fights have been Draws. So yeah, he's really good. If you can fight to a Draw with two ATG's, then you are pretty special.
Did he beat Pacquiao and Marquez? Nope, not in my book. For me this, jabs>power punches, is not true.
I had Canelo beating Trout for the same reason, I am not going to give the fighter who ran and jabbed his way through 12 rounds the win, no way. Bradley didn't beat Marquez or Pacquiao, but he was good enough to fight to a draw with them, in my eyes. That's pretty damn good.
Officially Bradley won a SD against both Pac and JMM. In reality he should have won anywhere from a 117-111 to a 115-113 decision against Marquez and lost 116-112 against Pacquiao.

He landed the harder, cleaner punches.
Bradley has a lot of heart and he's quick, that's all I can say. Marquez was landing uppercuts and was catching him with some good right hands.

Originally posted by True Alpha Male View PostDon'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.
