    Is it? Casamayor was a million years old when Bradley fought him, so was Marquez. Did he really beat Pacquiao?

    Rest is total average when it comes to a HOF resume.

    He was never the man really, in any division, and was generally seen to duck Amir Khan in 2012, after his fight with Alexander which may just be the worst fight i've ever seen. and mind you, I saw Carlos Molina vs Ishe Smith live.

      Virgil Hill
      Arturo Gatti
      Willie Pastrano

      Bradley was as good or better than the fighters on that list.

      Even looking back at some of the fighters most feel deserve their place, we can look at their resume and it still doesn't shine much brighter than Bradley. Wilfred Benitez...two big wins over Duran and Palomino. Outside of that, he lost to every other big name he stepped up to.
      Rid**** Bowe was undisputed heavyweight champ, beating a HOF/ATG heavyweight in his prime twice. Bradley never came close to anything like that ever in his career.

      The rest.. yeah I agree. some weird inductees. slim pickings these days I suppose.

        He is a HOFer. But the $11 thing is BS.

          Bowe also ducked Lewis and Tyson. Holyfield is his only great win. He was also a cheap shot artist. I would argue that Bradley soundly defeating a juiced up Marquez was just as good a win.

                The Witter fight was the first time I seen Bradley fight, actually the first I even heard of him. It was a Showtime UK undercard with Froch on the card as well. I rooted for Bradley mainly cause he's a Southern Cali guy and fighting in Witter's home country. Bradley knocking Witter in the mid rounds was sweet.

                I knew he would be a solid fighter, but he surpassed expectations. Nice to see that he's a successful man who doesn't need to fight anymore.

                    Vitali K isn't HoF worthy? Your joking right? He was both a championship Kickboxer AND Boxer.

                      I didn't say they weren't HOF worthy (thought I do question some of them), just that Bradley measures up to all of them, and in some cases exceeds them. If they got in, Bradley deserves it.
