    Bradley was a solid win but he's no world beater. He's an undersized WW that can't punch. He was picked because it was a safe fight. Pacquiao has the edge in every category of note, except in muscles. Movement PAC, Punching Power PAC, Speed PAC. You want to give him a cookie because he beat Bradley? Bradley's best weapon is his head.

      Lmfao Tim Bradley gets his ass whooped by De La Hoya, Cotto & Canelo. No question about it. He's supremely over rated, the only reason he's P4P is because he's fighting in this era. He's never dominated an A-Level fighter 2010 Mosley beats him & I wouldn't be surprised if Maidana stopped Tim. As for Barrera, I wouldn't pick him to beat Castillo or Corrales. I think Floyd kills him if they were in the same weight class. Barrera's Top 50, great win for Manny, but let's not act like he wouldn't be a snack for Floyd.

        Floyd could beat Barrera any day of the weak, but he hasn't done it. He could maybe even beat Pacquiao, I wouldn't be that surprised, but he hasn't done it.

        Bradley would beat Cotto and Alvarez, I mean, Austin Trout defeated both of them and Trout is, in my opinion, not quite as good as Bradley.

        Oscar de la Hoya, even if past it, fought a great fight against Mayweather and prime-vs-prime, de la Hoya would definitely beat Bradley.

          Sorry but Bradley beating the Alvarez and Cotto that Mayweather fought is laughable

          Bradley's a good fighter but you're overrating him

            Well? Which 5 wins from Mayweather do you see as his best? I'm asking this because Pacquiao, according to me, got two wins that towers above the quality of anyone Floyd fought: Bradley and Barrera. I don't want to make this a Pacquiao-Mayweather thread, we'll never know who's best until they fight, but I just want to see what fans consider to be the greatest wins on Mayweather's record. I want to say that I'm a fan of Floyd and I'm a fan of Manny, no hate intended.
            Beating Bradley an unproven ww is better than beating Canelo? I felt the Canelo fight shouldnt've happened because he was way too big for Floyd. We thought he was gonna come in the ring at 170, and Floyd still fought him. He came in at 165.

            Floyd's best wins are Mosley, Ortiz, Canelo, and Ghost. All trump Bradley. Ortiz was truly the #2 ww at the time he fought Floyd. He was 164lbs, 10 yrs younger, coming off a GREAT win over an undefeated fighter. Bradley was NEVER the true #2 ww. He fought Joel Casamayor then went into a fight against Pac without fighting any big name ww's before fighting Pac.

            Mosley may have been old but Floyd was old too. And Mosley was coming off a great win against Maragarita. I can see if Mosley was old and coming off 5 back to back losses. But he beat Marg who was very dangerous, went on a layoff, then fought Floyd.

            You all use age to discredit him as a foe but like I said prior, he wasnt old and losing. Im glad that fight happened, it had to.

            Ghost as well. Ghost is a VERY awkward fighter. I know boxrec and tail of the tape have him listed as a short little guy, he is big as FK. This dude probably weighs 163+ on fight night and was in his prime, #2 ww I believe.

            But allot of people dont know boxing compare him to Ortiz. They fight nothing alike. Ortiz is a tactical brawler/boxer. He likes to bounce on his toes before coming in. Ghost is a tall, tactical pressure swarmer.

            Unlike Ortiz, his punches are very close together similar to Hatton. Of course Hatton is a short orthodox fighter. Ghost is a tall ass southpaw, more durable, better power.

            Floyd changed his WHOLE style to beat Ghost. Pac only has 2 good wins at the higher weights; Cotto and Bradley and its askerisk next to both. Cotto is the only past prime Opponent Floyd has faced, the rest of them Im completely pleased with and all were in the TOP 3. Pac has NOthing special at the higher weight classes except titles. He doesnt have any good opponents.

              What about the fact that Floyd dominated Hernandez and Manfredy, two top guys at 130, back-to-back, in the span of two months?

                As I said earlier... Trout and Mayweather has defeated Alvarez, Lara will do the same thing in a few days, will you seriously still think he can beat Bradley after that fight? Bradley is on a completely different level.

                As for Cotto, come on... Cotto is overrated because he hurt Mayweather, Bradley is underrated because Pacquiao got robbed against him. Cotto has never defeated an opponent on par with Bradley.

                  Shane Mosley > Timothy Bradley.

                    I'm sorry but no. Bradley isn't as good as you think he is.
