    But none of those Haymon stars are fighting each other anyways.

    Timmeh has fought better opposition than Kell, Keith, Garcia, etc
    ****, I forgot about Garcia. So much talented being wasted since the Matthysse win. That's just ridiculous.

      I mentioned all the other relevant welters of recent years. So I ask you again, what other welter (not the obvious 2) have got better wins or better performances and could realistically be ranked higher than Bradley?

      Porter? Thurman? Khan? Brook? Berto? Ortiz? Guerrero?

      If not them, then who else?
      So we are now comparing turds?just cause Bradleys turds dont smell as bad doesnt meant that they are not still turds..

        I just don't think any version of Bradley beats Pacquiao, he couldn't outbox him in the first fight or outbrawl him in the sequel. Why? Because Bradley is not a truly great fighter. But he is an exceptional fighter and one who can beat a who's who of top fighters, just not the likes of Pacquiao.

        Other than that, Bradley has been the best welter from 2010 till now, not named May or Pac. I can't really see an argument for anyone else except maybe Cotto (can't remember when he moved to 154).



        He didn't barely beat JMM, he beat him quite comfortable. Only mexicans or Floyd fans think it was close or a JMM win.

        The Associated Press, ESPN, Ring etc etc etc all had Bradley winning, a few of them felt it was a pretty clear victory.

        Anyway, what's Mayweather got to do with this? Other than not fighting Bradley that is.
        lets look at compubox....

          Bradley completely schooled Marquez that fight. Shove your stats mate, it can't be seen worse than 8-4.

            There's one legit welterweight on the resume.

              Completely schooled 8-4? It was close but clear.

                    They are all good fighters and his wins are good, but most of them could have taken place at LWW.

                    Abregu and Chaves are decent, but nothing special.

                      I am not sure he is the clear third best after Mayweather and Pacquiao. He never came close to beating Pacquiao in either fight in my opinion. He only won 2 or 3 rounds in either fight. Ruslin deserved a draw in my opinion and Vargas really hurt him in the last round. He is a good champion but I think Thurman, Brook and Spence can beat him and Ruslin beats him in a rematch. I expect Pacquiao to beat him for what should be the third time with decent judges. Bradley has a lot of wear and tear from all those wars and it's showing.
