Lets put down one guys wins because I dont like him, yet hype another guys wins because he is my favorite.
Guerrero, a guy that had not lost a fight in 8 years, coming off a fight of the year fight in beating Berto (who was still considered a top contender with only one loss). Every fighter is not elite, but every fighter is not a bum so you can discredit another fighters accomplishments.
Ortiz had not lost in 5 fights I believe, and was coming off another fight of the year fight against Berto, who at the time was a rising star in the sport (whether you like it or not).
Now i respect what Bradley has done in the sport. he has fought tough competition and came out victorious, but how does beating a guy who is 2-2 in his last 4 fights earn you a shot at Manny? Taking nothing away from Bradley cause he has earned it with grit and determination, but he is far from one of the most skilled boxers in the game, and his claim (or your claim) of him being one of the best in the game is over stated. Alot of people on this board had Bradley losing the first fight to Manny, losing the fight to Provodnikov, and some even had him losing to Marquez. Then he just lost to Manny again, so some people can say this guy has lost 3 out of 4 fights, and some will even say all 4. Now I understand you want to hype up Manny's win, but if you had Manny winning the first fight, then CLEARLY Bradley's #3 ranking is a farce, and especially if you had him losing to Provodnikov. Bradley has not been in a good looking fight that i can truly remember. Maybe Peterson was the best looking one, but most to all his fights are head butt fest with sloppy punching.
