What makes him interesting is that he is a non-puncher brawler with iron chin. No one gets ko'd, 12 rounds of brawling (:
His fights has always been fun to watch, never got bored.
Cotto shouldve have been on my list, my bad on that. But not Canelo (although he is close and needs another big win or two). But Ward and KOvalev, no. They've done good but not quite Bradley level yet.
Bradley was arguably top guy at 140 and at one stage, top 2/ at 147, maybe even still is.
I don't see what 154 has to do with anything Bradley has done up to this point. As for Spence, yeah ok
when opinions collide.....it happens
i mentioned 154 as i foresee him going there and not doing too well.
Okay, the guy lost 3 times to Pacquiao (his 1 "win" was a robbery), but is it suddenly a shame to lose to a great boxer like Pacquiao? And he got a draw against Chaves, but any person who saw that fight would agree that Bradley clearly won. He has fought to some impressive victories over the years and he is an unique fighter, being a featherfisted technician who likes to brawl. He goes out of his comfort zone to make a war, which people usually criticize the other black technicians for not doing, such as Ward, Mayweather and Lara. Bradley got massive heart, is very fast, got great stamina and if he had possessed the natural ability to punch hard, I'm pretty confident that he could have been an ATG. IMO, Bradley would beat Thurman, Porter, etc., and he would have given Mayweather trouble before losing.
Let's look at some of the wins that this underappreciated great has scored during his career (not including the Pacquiao "win" and has changed the Chaves "draw" into a win):
He lost twice to Pacquiao and won a close fight in the first meeting. That being said, Bradley would have got whooped by Mayweather, and he should steer clear of Thurman, Spence, and also stay away from 154

good thread - Bradley is a beast.
I've often made jokes at his expense about his head, and how funny he looks listening to rap music and his feather fistedness.
But the dude is a beast, and a HOF for sure, IMO.
He just misses out on being an ATG for our era, but he's close.
He's still not done yet. I think he'd beat everyone at WW save Pac, and Thurman right now.
I just hope he doesn't do anything ****** like try to fight Canelo at 154.
