    he's not the 147 fighter some you seem to think he is. at 140 he was definitely the second best in the division around the time he ducked khan (the #1) but at 147 he might not even make the top 5 even though he's in his prime. you could easily place pacquiao, marquez, prov, of course floyd and khan above him (since by ducking khan he conceded defeat)
    1. He didn't arguably lose to Marquez. Anyone that isn't a **** rider knows that.

    2. You say Provodnikov at the time was a no name, which is complete nonsense. Athletes get better or get worse. Provodnikov now is top tier fighter whether he was looked at that time or not does not matter.

    3. How could Khan be ahead of Bradley if you are so in love with resume. Khan just struggled with a gatekeeper for crying out loud and certainly has done far less at 147 than Bradley.

    4. Your ignorance is unbelievable. Stop watching boxing and go drive yourself off a cliff.

      another thing to keep in mind is that perhaps it's no coincidence bradley got those gift wins in the u.s. against 3 foreign fighters... pac, marquez & prov - none of them are u.s. fighters and arguably all got robbed.. like castillo got robbed against cloud, abril got robbed against rios, lara got robbed against williams etc.. the list is endless

        can't be considered elite, but not a total bum. got away with a few gift decisions like berto did but turns out he's not as good as some thought.

        possibly a gatekeeper test for upcoming 147 boxers like khan, broner, thurman, maidana, porter etc..
        Hell No!! Bradley is leagues better than Berto. Both are exciting though.

            I think that is a harsh assessment. Bradley's legacy will always be stained for ducking "that chinny guy", but even if you factor out the Pacquiao fight he did beat some serious talent.

              The only similarity between Berto and Bradley are they are dark. Real dark.

              Not Clottey dark though. Even Charlie Murphy and Wesley Snipes are surprised how dark Clottey is.

                Bradley and Berto shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence.

                Unless you're talking about boxers whose last names start with the letter "B".

                  LMAO, Bradley is back at the bottom of the trash heap already huh? One loss to Pac and he's done. That is like comparing Pac to Ortiz or something like that when you really think about it.....

                    You said, "Bradley is practically a journeyman at this point". So I asked you, "then wtf is Khan"? Now who's ******ed again??
