    If I remember right he was in the top 10.
    Vargas wasnt ranked at ww before the Bradley fight..he was the WBA 140 champ

      Honestly, there's absolutely zero definitive ranking at WW beyond Pacquiao. You can rank almost any of these guys anywhere and make a good case for it. No one is fighting anyone besides Pac and Bradley, and mostly they have fought each other. If I had to, I'd say either Bradley or Brook is the #2 behind Pac.

        Hard to say, losing to the current best shouldn't be that big a drop in stock. Lol @ everyone trying to degrade Bradley's resume. Coincidentally these are the same posters that **** on Pac every chance they get, gee I wonder what their ulterior motives could be.

          Tim had 7 fights at WW prior to Saturday. Manny x 2, and Chavez. 3 top 10 WW's in 7 fights. Who else outside of him, has done that? In fact. Since Bradley came to WW, his and Manny's resume are quite similar outside of Manny fighting Floyd. I'm curious who you would rank higher, based on resume.

          Also you can't just discount the Ruslan and Marquez wins. Considering those were Tim's 2nd and 3rd fights at welterweight.

                It's not like any other welterweights are fighting anyone, either. Talk **** about Bradley but Vargas and Chaves are still more than Thurman, Porter, Khan, Garcia, or many others have done in the same time frame. Brook's the only other welterweight that fought anyone recently, and it's been a while for him, too.

                Pretending Bradley has no case over these other guys who don't do anything is crazy.

                  He won none of those fights against Pacquiao and Chaves, great argument.

                  Ruslan wasn't a ranked WW either.

                    Vargas had no place in the ring with Bradley.......

                      who is degrading Bradley's resume? I haven't seen one person in this thread do that. We are talking about ww rankings and you suggest posters have some agenda. i think you are way off base with this post.
