Tim Bradley's Welterweight Run

[soul_survivor]

So, Bradley's ww run started all the way back in 2010, with a fight against Carlos Abregu.

Since then, his run has consisted of the following fights, in chronological order:

Pacquiao (W) WBO title
Ruslan Provodnikov (W)
Marquez (W)
Pacquiao (L)
Diego Chaves (D)
Jessie Vargas (W)
Rios (W) WBO title

In that time, Bradley has become a 2 time WBO champ, beaten 2 HOFers (one of them very dubiously) and been in 2 FOTY contenders. That's not bad and far better than the likes of Porter, Thurman, Brook, Khan, Guerrero and Garcia. I won't even bother mentioning Berto and Ortiz.

It's pretty obvious to me that he is the 3rd best ww of his generation, second only to Mayweather and Pacquiao.

What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?

Pacquiao-ok
Ruslan=not even a ww
Rios=a shot fighter who hadnt done jack **** but beat a methed up Alvarado
Marquez=the guy was 40 and had a terrible resume at 147 why is this a good win for Bradley?
Jessie Vargas=he was not even a ww
Chaves=what has he done lately besides lose?


why is this such a great run?

[TripleK4TripleG]

He clearly did not beat Pacquiao, he let Provo give him brain damage, and winning the title from Bum Bum Rios is meaningless. Also, if he had faced Marquez when he was in his piss drinking prime, he would have been dominated. Bradley is crap.

[Larry the boss]

why even list Rios?? seriously why?

[Larry the boss]

Chaves has literally beaten no one worth mentioning

[soul_survivor]

It's not about having a great resume (I was simply listing all his ww fights) but it's better than anything the other guys in the division have done thus far.

Also, he beat Marquez pretty easily, stopped Rios who had never been stopped before and went to war with Ruslan who looked on fire that night.

What's bad about that? Has Berto, or Ortiz or Thurman done anything more?

[NEETzsche]

very solid run of jr welters
