      With that said, he ABSOLUTELY needs a rematch with Pacquiao. Even if it means taking a paycut and travelling to Asia. That's the only way to really clean up his track record and erase all doubt about where he stands.
      Lack of punching power? Neither Ward or Mayweather have punching power yet they still dazzle because they are supremely skilled. Bradley is MILDLY skilled.

        No he is elite. Just because he isn't as good as a Mayweather doesn't make him non-elite. He has skills and he uses them all to be effective.

          pacquiao nicked the majority of the rounds with late flurries and deserved to receive the nod, but he was made to look very awkward and bradley swept the championship rounds. not a schooling by any means.

            tim bradley is not on the same level as pac or floyd...but he's getting there.

            he just needs to prove it by beating someone like pac or if he can get a fight with floyd..

              They are in a league of their own skill wise. Bradley's body of work is comparable if not better than Ward's. If he keeps winning you can't deny him his spot.

                I gave Bradley 3 rounds and I was being generous to him. Extremely generous. I'm all for accepting others' opinions, but anybody who gave him more than 3 rounds is clearly mentally challenged. Manny won the majority of rounds with relative ease.

                  Nobody claims that bradley is the next floyd, rigo or manny.....

                  The dude has a tremendous will to win, and a warrior spirit,,,

                  having great skills is no guarantee that you are elite,, just ask jorge linares who has alot more skills than bradley but will never have the wins or career that bradley has done,,,

                  you can say he is limited but the facts are- all he has done is win, and his list of opponents are the best in the game,,,,,,

                  holt
                  witter
                  vasquez


                  The dude fights anyone, and keeps winning,, so IMO he is a p4p top guy

                    I don't deny him his spot. I have him like 11 or 12 P4P.

                      I would like to see Bradley take on Garcia, but it's obviously extremely unlikely cos of the network/promotion rivalries.
