    I think he may have been. Style wise.


    Bradley and Algieri are pillow punchers after all. Brandon Rios is a walking punchbag.

    MAIDANA WOULD GET OUTBOXED BY CHRIS

    mAIDANA WOULD GET STOPPED BY RIOS

    Bradley is leagues ahead of Maidana...Rios and Maidana are about the same...Algieri is unproven really

    He beats Algieri easily. Bradley would brawl with him and get beat up and hurt. Rios would want to brawl and get beaten to a pulp.


    Maidana has improved since his older fights for sure. It's a learning process some people don't get that.


    Bradley lost to Provodnikov for ****sake. So no he isn't leagues above anymore. 140 possibly but he didn't fight Maidana or Khan.

    Algieri and Rios don't belong at 147. And Bradley is unproven at 147. Bradley couldn't avoid going to war with Provo, who is a 140 pound gate-keeper/non-title holder.

    I agree.

    Maidana is better than Rios and Algieri but not Bradley.

    Maidana was schooled even by a shot to shiet and bloated morales and got blanked by Alexander. The same alexander that bradley took to school.

    I'm not convinced Bradley is that good at 147 as of yet.



    I think he got Ruslan'd and now he's not the same.

    At 147? We're talking head to head at 147, not who has the better body of work on their resume.

    Ask yourself: Who has Bradley beat at 147?

    People are going on about some fighter schooled another. It's a style thing.


    Certain styles don't gel well with others. Alexander shut him out but then he gives Mayweather some problems.



    Fighters can improve it happens.
