    LOL, You are right, you never know what to expect when it comes to Bradley.

    Dude wants to be defensive, slugger, ko artist, counter puncher.

          No.. He won't have any meaningful success at 154.. It's just a cash grab

          He could beat some random journeymen there, but nobody of value.


          Bradley doesn't have the power to keep guys honest
          He doesn't have the defensive skills to shut down guys and avoid shots

          Bradley really has no business at 154, his style would not do well there vs bigger guys

            What the hell is going on in this thread? Why are we entertaining the idea that a guy who barely had any power at 140,and no power at 147,moving up to 154? It seems like people are just looking for an opponent for cotto,which gives him a 100% guarantee that he won't be knocked out. Bradley should honeslty try to maintain himself at the top of the game,and seek a fight with amir khan,kell brooks,maybe mix it up with the winner of Crawford algieri at 140. And cotto needs to get in there with a real,HEALTHY middleweight. Andy Lee,Curtis Stevens,Macklin,rubio,degale,would all give cotto a run for his money,if not beat him. And obviously golovkin and lemeiux knock cotto the **** out.

                  Bradley can compete with anyone at 154 besides Floyd. I don't think the Jr MW class is so full of great fighters that he can't come up. That's silly. Cotto hasn't beat a good healthy fighter in ages. Canelo stands around, doesn't throw much -- didn't even want to beat Floyd or take any chances against him.

                  Nobody really good fights at 154, so.

                    With Bradleys physical dimensions I think he'd struggle with the best of the best at 154...

                    However, I could also see him making some noise if matched properly...Bundrage immediately comes to mind as someone Tim could do well against...

                    Bradley's lack of height & reach would be more detrimental to success at a higher weight than his lack of punching power IMO...It's not like he's KOing top guys at 140 or 147 as it is...

                      He won 4 rounds against PAC in the rematch
                      Outlanded Chaves in 11 rounds
                      Trout's jab is awful, I agree. No power behind it and it's mostly inaccurate.
