    I would love to see Bradley take Berto out the picture.. He would make him look very foolish...

    I won't say he's average cause people on this board hate that word when I used it for Danny Garcia. Bradley is basically an upcoming star but if he fails, he's back to the ordinary class that had their fifteen minutes of Fame. This is how it works , this is how it is. People want to see flashy, gutsy, powerful and knockout artists these days and Tim doesn't fit in that category so... He is having his time now like Andre Berto had and like even Randal Bailey is having... But for how long??

    Bradley is a very good champion just short of Elite IMO. To be honest I'm not even sure if he beats Berto at 147.... might be too small and not have enough power for the bigger powerful 147 guys like Ortiz, Berto. 140 is Timmy's game imo.

    I'm pretty picky with who I'd call elite though, Mayweather, Pac, Sergio, Ward, JMM, Wlad......Gamboa, Broner, Mares and Rigo have the potential to be elite if they step it up and continue to have success and show the skills they've shown vs lesser dudes. I put Bradley in the same category as Dawson, Cotto.

    I think Bradley will win a rematch with Pac, I think Pac won the first fight like most do but I think Bradley's ankle injury slowed him down, Bradley will be considered elite after the rematch IMO.

    He did, I think twice, so did Martyrosin.. Berto also beat Dirrell in the amateurs.. Tim has really brought everything together the last few years starting with Witter. He faced every style, fought undefeated hungry guys, and never came close to losing.. His game has really surpassed Berto.. A guy like Tim can fight so many styles and is smart enough to know which one to impose ok each guy..

    He is not some amazing athlete with super speed, power, or reflexes, but he is above average in all those.. But he gets tens for stamina, heart, chin, and ring iq..

    Berto would beat Badley imo....I rate Bradley higher but Berto's too big, too strong for him. Bradley is much better suited to 140 imo, the big guys like Berto/Ortiz/Cotto etc.... would be too much imo.

    He's not got his props for the Pacquiao fight. He fought extremely hard and strong, despite not having quite enough.

    When I first watched the fight I couldn't help laughing, I felt that It was just karma since the marquez fight.

    I rewatched it beacuse I thought it would help me understand the horrible scores, What I came to realise wasn't that the scores where horrible, the commentators where.


    Bradley won, deal with it.
