    He's better than that. He's not atg, but he is elite in today's welterweight division. I think he beats Garcia and Thurman. Alexander is better than he is given credit for and Bradley hamdled him. I think he is shop worn now. Probably loses to Brook, might beat Porter, beats Zab.

      He got one of the easiest runs to a big payday I've ever seen.

        I feel he's gone from being overrated to underrated.

        When people had him top 3-5 P4P, he was ridiculously overrated, now people act like he's a club fighter. I feel he's been lower top 10 P4P for a few years.

        I don't think his last performance was as bad as people are making out, Chaves is a tough and skillful fighter and Bradley clearly beat him. It was close and competitive, but clear.

            I believe Bradley got something like $5million to fight Pacquaio based off wins over the likes of Kendall Holt and Alexander. And not even impressive performances.

              he also schooled peterson, he was the number #1 at 140, having beaten undefeated peterson, undefeated alexander and undefeated abregu

              not killers, but alexander and peterson aren't that bad, peterson did afterall beat khan

                Peterson was on PEDS when he stole a decision against Khan and that was after Bradley avoided the fight with Khan. So Bradley basically beat a bunch of fringe contenders then ducked his biggest challenge at 140lbs, fought Casamayor and got a $5million payday against Pacquiao. He's one of the luckiest boxers in the last 20 years.

                  stole a decision


                  peterson was probably on drugs, but you're deluded or blind if you didn't see khan getting tagged, hurt, and on his bike.

                    Probably? He was on drugs. And even then, without the two point deductions, he wouldn't have got the decision. Even with the point decisions, Khan won that fight. It was one of the biggest shams in recent boxing history. Everything about that fight and event. Typical Fat Yankery.

                      Right where he should be. 5-8 pound for pound is fair.
