    I totally agree. Not afraid to fight inside or box a guy in the center. A man's man if you ask me.

    No. Getting hurt but surviving against 2 junior welters you've brought up a division doesn't qualify one as the greatest warrior of a generation.

    Bradley is a modern welter Holyfield, how can you not love him?

    Great fighter.

    He is certainly one of them.

    Shame it took until he moved up to WW to really be appreciated. Back in his prime, I was in the extreme minority for rooting for him.

    I have watched every one of his fights since he fought Witter in 2008. This guy comes to fight and doesn't want to back down. He never wants to give his opponent a mental edge and take a step back. That's what a warrior is. Someone who is willing to take a step forward even thought he knows it's dangerous. I knew early in the fight he was exposing himself badly to a counter. He got hurt in the 12th coming forward but he took it and survived.

    His only real issue is his lack of power ..

    We need more fighters like him. Imagine if others had the mentality that he has.

    His issue has also been that he is just too much of a warrior for his own good. He has the jab and speed to outbox most people in boring fights but he just can't help himself.

    He definetly is a great warrior but sometimes he just needs to use his brain in the ring.
