    This. I'd buy it too - worthy of my money, and not a stream.

    It's guaranteed to be at least somewhat exciting, and definitely a lot of two-way exchanges.

    Stylistically, this is literally one of the best fights to make in boxing.

      There is a reason Angel Garcia refuses to even mention Timothy Bradley against DSG. Bradley's style is kryptonite against the likes of DSG.

        The word 'legendary' is thrown about far too easily nowadays lol...

        Bradley is a very, very good fighter and has earned his place as a respected Champion.

        He conducts himself very well as a professional and has a true warrior heart.

        He gets some hate because of the first Pac fight, and I can understand that - but it was not his fault that Bob Arum used the fight to teach Pac a lesson. Also, he gets flak for being a bit vanilla (no trash talking or strippers etc) yet still is a very entertaining fighter to watch.

        Bradley is an excellent role model for all professional fighters, especially African American's. He takes care of his business in and out the ring, is articulate and accessible and has made a fortune from boxing.

          Ducking Khan is hardly the 'missing link' in a fighter like Bradley's career.

          His resume ****s all over Khans.

              i mentioned 154 as i foresee him going there and not doing too well.
              Yeah, he has mentioned the weight before and if he goes, he is basically winding down his career but as his career stands, his work from 140 to 147 has been exceptional.

                Ducking Khan is a big deal as the two were the best fighters at their weight.

                Bradley's resume is great and the JMM and Pacquiao fights add a lot to it but Khan is himself one big name away from matching it. Let's not act like wins/fights of Judah, Malignaggi, Maidana, Kotelnik, Alexander, PEDerson, Canelo and co did not matter at the time or that these were not relevant names.

                  Khan beat them three years after Bradley beat them. Lamont Peterson was in his prime at his most confident moment when he fought Bradley. Some even speculated Bradley was ducking Alexander and Peterson, but instead, schooled them.

                    Khan's early resume was not horrible - but it was overrated by his nuthuggers.

                    Overall Bradley's resume is deeper and he fought (and beat) the same guys Khan did only he fought them at their prime.

                    Khan has done nothing at 147 / 155 of note.

                      This ^^^^

                      Bradley is a very good all round fighter but a in the league of pac/floyd.. Bradley has a lot of heart & fights like a man possessed. A very good champ - yes, a legend - no..
