Like him or hate him Should Bradley currently be ranked No.2 at 147Lb based on who he has beaten ( regardless of dodgy decision v Pacquaio ) and the fact he is still unbeaten You can pick holes is ANY fighters record, but you look at the names he has beaten so far, and he ain't done much wrong Witter, Holt, Campbell, Peterson, Alexander, Pacquaio, Marquez It wont happen, but based on the above, is Bradley more deserving of a Mayweather payday than anyone else at 147 ?
rightm, if you want to count his BS decision against pac then yes.... until the rematch is over and then pac takes that spot without question people act as if pac is some irrelevant figure because he got KO'd and lost a BS decision
This is what's confusing about boxing logic, Bradley beats Pac but doesn't get credit. Ok fair enough as we all know details here. Pac gets ko'd by JMM, comes back and beats Rios. Now pac was considered #2 even when he took to straight losses then beat a guy coming off a loss?
I must have missed the last few years of bradleys career, exactly which WW had he even fought, never mind beat
he "beat pacquaio who at that time was rated p4p number 1 and also beat ruslan and jmm the guy is number 1 now:deal
paq was NOT close to p4p #1 when he beat bradley. get real kid rus is now a ww and a 40 yr old jmm is now a ww ?
#1 Keith Thurman #2 Floyd Mayweather Featherfists Bradley is 140...nothing suggests he is #2 welterweight, Mayweather perfect defense allowing him to win good fights in every division he goes to...Keith Thurman is the only Welterweight that beats down Mayweather as of 2014
obviously floyd is #1 but i completely agree the floyd v thurman fight in 2015 is going to be very very very dangerous for a way past it floyd. thurman will probably be the one to finally take a 38/39 yr old floyd down
The only reason it can't happen in 2014, is cause Floyd is taking Maidana & Khan...I am certain Mayweather will retire undefeated without fighting Thurman :think
ok for the sake of argument where was pacquaio when he "lost" to Bradley in the p4p rankings im interested to hear this
not sure how you would have porter in front of bradley.. true that bradley didnt do much yet in WW but he came in and won (on record) Pac and won Marquez (on paper at the time 2nd/3rd in ww). Porter defeated alexnder who was 10 top and you made in 3rd? and Thurman over mayweather? i agree that mayweather is not active in WW since Guerreo but this is ridicolus...I may be a bit bias on your a personal favorites fighter order. I would order it: Mayweather Bradley Porter Marquez (since he is ranked now in WW) Pac Maidana Thurman me reasoning is: mayweather is undefeated in WW, and pretty much is solid so no argueing here..His next fight is in WW as well... Bradley came in and defeated then rank 2 pac and rank 2 or 3 marquez. (after marquez defeated pac) Porter is ahead of marquez and pac becuz of his activity and marquez losing to bradley..we can argue here that he has not faced a top 5 and with maridana and thurman's activity and should be place lower or with them..but leave that later.. Pac has not fought a ranked WW since his lost to marquez and fought light welterweight rios...so no change in ranks.. Maidana defeated Broner who defeated Paulie who was ranked 8th i think, but since Maidana defeated a top 10 ranked i placed him higher then Thurman, who is waiting for a chance at a belt..I also placed Thurman lower because he has not been in a championship match for a legitiment world belt, and interm does not count or a match wit ha top 10. for my favorite/personal ranks: 1. mayweather 2. bradley 3. pac 4. thurman 5. porter/marquez
