Bradley the forgotten champ

[therealpugilist]

He never was a champion at 147....just a guy that got a world title win via robbery over an ATG in Pacqauio



Bradley was and still is a very good fighter but he hasn't proven his worth at welterweight yet


A robbery win and a clear loss over Pacquaio, a weird draw with Diego Chavez, he beat Marquez, but really how potent is JMM at welterweight? he is like 2-3 above 140, and he beat Abregu who never was a top welterweight and struggled mightily with wholly average un-ranked Provodnikov who campaigns at 140......he isn't looking impressive at all at 147

I'm not a Bradley fan but that's an overly harsh assessment.

I don't think its harsh...its realistic


look at the top ten welterweights in the world the past 3 years since he's been there...he has only fought Jmm, and Pacquaio....Chaves wasn't ranked when he beat him nor was Abregu....Provodnikov...no need to explain



Whereas Pacquaio beat top ten welterweights Clottey, Cotto, Mosley and former titlists from lower weights moving up

Mayweather beat these guys when they were top ten @ ww in Maidana(2x), Judah, Baldomir, Ortiz, Guerrero, Mosley, also fought Hatton when he was undefeated and 140 champion


These 2 guys proved they are elite at the weight.....Bradley hasn't in my eyes....he'd have to beat Brook, Khan, Mayweather, Pacquaio, or Thurman for me to be sold on him being as formidable at 147 as he was at 140

Very well said. I agree with you on that.

[crazyboy867]

nobody talks about bradley is because he is feather fisted and too polite. also, i think his controversial decision to pacquiao left a sour taste in a lot of peoples mouths..

Bradley did win a WW title.. Just not in the right order. He beat JMM who should had had the title off of Pacquiao.

don't get me wrong, I ***s with desert storm, one of my top ten favorite current fighters....like a mini hagler....wish he had Marvelous' pop though




He has the talent to make a bigger splash at 147 though

he won the ww wbo twice, one not legit but the other via clear schooling of a very good counterpuncher and p4p fighter

It was a trinket he won via robbery

PAC holds a trinket as does brook



Mayweather is the ring/lineal champion....one champion.... The rest are title holders....contenders with belts

Bradley is a good fighter but not discipline. He went to Top Rank to get the Manny shot because he thought he could take advantage of Manny's weaknesses. I also think he went to Top Rank to avoid tough fights. He knew being at Top Rank would kill a Mayweather, Khan, Garcia, or Matthysse.
