    There are some similarities.

    Both are fast and feather fisted.

    Bradley is the better boxer though and would not lose to Victor Ortiz.

    Berto was protected by Haymon for so long that when he finally stepped up his level of competition he was embarrassed.

    Bradley is a level above Berto imo due to his fights with Marquez, Pac and Provo. He's been tested far more than Berto has and can still beat most boxers at 147.

      Berto & Bradley aren't even on the same hemisphere.
      lol the ts must be high or some ****.

      Bradley's work at 140 is better than Berto's whole career.

        Pretty much anyone can beat Berto.

        Quite a difference.
        You don't have any grounds to back that up at all.
        There are plenty of tough fights at 147 for Bradley - and considering how he fared against Ruslan, I'm sure a gunslinger like Maidana would cause him real trouble.

          Really now? Bradley a gatekeeper?

          Tim's resume outclasses Berto's.

              Bradley is practically a journeyman at this point.

                Berto is pretty damn far from feather-fisted.

                In fact, I can't think of any similarities the two share. Bradley is mobile, light-punching, and versatile. Berto is hard punching, stationary, and as non-versatile as it gets. Bradley came up the hard way and had to earn his paydays. Berto was protected for years and benefited from Haymon.

                They're pretty much polar opposites.

                  Bradley had a better showing the second time around with Pac. Very few fighters could had beaten that version of Bradley.

                    can't be considered elite, but not a total bum. got away with a few gift decisions like berto did but turns out he's not as good as some thought.

                    possibly a gatekeeper test for upcoming 147 boxers like khan, broner, thurman, maidana, porter etc..
                    The only fighter you've named that could possibly beat bradley is Thurman, your tread is ******.
