    Bradley was right: Broner would have been a tune-up for him.

    Bradley boxed circles around a prime Jessie Vargas. Made it look easy. Got nailed by a shot near the end of the fight, wouldn't have made that much of a difference. Ultimately, it was one of his best performances.

    Contrast with Broner, who according to judges is no elite fighter and was getting pieced up in at least 7 rounds by a Vargas who is/was a pale shadow of his former self.

    This is a guy who ran through Antonio DeMarco, yet now is barely hanging with B- level opposition.

    Bradley would have completely embarrassed the guy over 12 rounds.

    Bradley is a busy bee with an insane workrate and chin, two things that are broners kryptonite. Bradley would beat him 11 rounds to 1.

      Bradley needs to come out of retirement and fight vargas and broner make a quick ten million and retire again.

        Hmm, does Broner have a better chin than Bradley?

        Vargas had Timothy on ***** street in that last round.

          Broner has a way better chin, one of the best in boxing. Bradley's chin wasn't that good, he could be easily hurt. With that being said, Bradley had tremendous guts and recovery ability to allow him to survive when taking those big shots. Broner is rarely ever hurt, Bradley got hurt a lot but had an uncanny ability to stay on his feet and survive.

            Yeah gonna have to agree with you on that.

            Broner's chin is legit. Prime T-Brad vs the Broner that fought Maidana would have been a helluva fight.

              Bradley has been hurt few times before but his recovery is fantastic, especially showcased in that war against Provodnikov.

              But I dont know, would have been interesting fight to see, Bradley vs Broner. I would have picked Bradley back when he was active. Bradley was a great fighter, officially he has only lost to Pacquiao, no shame in that.

              In fact, I really wish that we would have seen Khan vs Bradley. Could have been an exciting bout, but could have been ugly fight too, who knows.

                Bradley would've have easily defeated Broner, that workrate would've been too much. Bradley 10-2.

                  I miss Bradley, he was a great boxer and a decent guy. With that said, after the abuse he got following the first Pacquiao fiasco I don't blame him for taking his money and retiring. Does anybody know what he's up to now?

                    I think it was more to do with the war he had with Ruslan, that really messed with him.
