Why is Timothy Bradley rated #5 on ESPN's Pound for Pound list?

[ironmt]

To "fluff" Pacquiao's resume. Without him being p4p that would make 3 bums in a row Pacquiao fought.

So Bradley Is now classified as a bum fighter?

Bradley did not look like a top 10 p4p fighter against Chaves.

His best win is a loss to Pacquiao..

I agree with this. Although he Is not a bum and he certainly Isn't a HOF fighter as mentioned earlier In this thread.

His best win was against Marquez.

bradley is a bum???? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

so i guess guys like ortiz, guerrero, canelo, and maidana are far bigger bums then, right? since their resumes are far inferior to bradley let alone their skill. you floyd fanatics are out of your mind and always give a good laugh hahahahahahahaha.

btw bradley was top ten p4p before he even fought pac.

Honestly, to me it looked like he just wasn't motivated for the fight.

His best win was against Marquez.

beating marquez was a very good win.

marquez was ranked #3 p4p, #2 welterweight, coming off a huge upset KO against pac, considered ring fighter of the year for 2012, certified future hof'er etc. and bradley outclassed him.

[Canelo Phresh]

Because he has one of the best résumés in the sport today -- easily HOF if he retired today and his only official loss is to an ATG .

Also Tim has displayed an extraordinarily diverse skill set over the course of his career, taking on a vast array of stylistic challenges and proving that he can deal with any of them competently

He is the antithesis of a one-dimensional fighter

Green k sent.

You may be right. Although Bradley didn't look great In the fight I personally thought that he won.

On the flip side Chaves Is a very gritty, come forward, hard hitting tough guy. Kind of like Maidana.

These type of fighters can make highly skilled fighters such as Bradley look ordinary.
