Maidana isn't beating Bradley however you'd like to spin it. Maidana is b level at best who just so happened to be the first to beat the overhyped Broner. Alexander showed Maidana's true level and whilst I don't believe in triangle theories, we all know what Bradley did to Alexander.
That could be true but at least GGG gets rid of them early instead of having to go the full distance....
You mean the insignificant backend of his résumé which has no bearing on his all time status as it was already cemented nearly a decade before he retired?
Provo arguably beat Bradley and gave him a horrible beating. Maidana is better than Provo and would beat Bradley clearly. The version of Maidana that Alexander fought isn't the same version of Maidana Broner and PBF fought Garcia had perfected Maidana at that point.
maidana could not beat a shot morales clearly and got beat every round by alexander the guy bradley took his 0
Not the same fighter. What about that don't you understand? Maidana got better after getting with Garcia. If that version of Maidana who fought Broner and PBF showed up that night against Alexander he would have destroyed him.
Cmon Pimp you're better than this. Provo isn't elite but Bradley could have made the fight alot easier for himself if he didn't try to slug it out with Provodnikov. Whilst that is no excuse, again Maidana got shut out off Alexander and arguably lost against a shot Morales, or at least run close. Maidana's power is overrated and Bradley would have a field day with Maidana, Bradley would have been a great scalp for Floyd.
Only to the haters. He has made more money than anyone in the sport. Largest gates, largest ppv's. Eat your heart out.
That's it though Bradley fights dumb. Why in hell did he attempt to do that to a slugger like Provo? When his only chance to lose the fight was to do just that? After he got hurt early a smart fighter would have said **** that I'm going to outbox him. Bradley often fights the other person's fight. He would have been a decent scalp for PBF but not really any better than Zab Judah who stylistically was a harder match up for PBF than Bradley would have been. I disagree about Bradley beating Maidana. Maidana is awkward has underrated boxing ability with his jab and defense and doesn't give a ****. He would walk right through light punching Bradley and have his ass up against the ropes all night long mauling him fouling him and hitting him with looping overhand rights giving him a sustained beating. Bradley being the dummy that he is would try and exchange far to often with Maidana. Bradley is too brave for his own good and that would be his downfall in that fight.:deal
TBE fought the best of his contemporaries. with the exception tzyu . i wont include margarito for the loaded gloves just no excuse for that. so who did he not fight. he fought the best that was available to include 2 or 3 HOF. of course his legacy will be scrutinized but it can stand up to scrutiny. could be a diva,demanded respect, always respected his opponent, improved his character as a man. untouchable skills never duplicated. atg without a doubt.
