    A very good fighter, took on all styles. Very consistent against good opposition.
    His best win for me is against an old but still gold Juan Manuel Marquez coming off a victory against KO6 Pac.

    W Marquez
    W Alexander
    W Peterson
    W Vazquez
    W Provodnikov
    W Chaves
    W Vargas
    W Rios
    W Holt
    W Abregu
    W Cherry
    W Witter

    L Pacquiao x 3

    NC Campbell (who was unified champ at the time, Bradley was 3-0 up)


    For me, he's borderline. He was about two good names away.

    Very close, but I would say no.
    Lots of good mid level wins. The Pac 1 win was disputed and the Marquez win was the only noteworthy one based on Marquez coming off huge win over Pac.

    Shouldn't. But with the abysmally low standards of the boxing hall of fame, it's a crapshoot.

    Right. I can see why some can argue why he shouldn't, but with some of the recent names that have gotten in it would be hard to deny him.

    Schooled Marquez.
    Beat PAC once.
    Ducked by Floyd.
    Nice enough guy.

    Why not?

    Bradley is a good pugilist and great ambassador for the sport, but maan, it seems that anybody that hold a belt or two is being considered nowadays.

    Happy if he is voted in, but personally No.

    Agreed. He'll probably end up getting in, to be honest.

    1. Two weight champ
    2. Been on p4p lists
    3. FOTY on his resume
    4. Wins over Marquez, Alexander, Peterson, Vasquez, Witter, Provodnikov, Vargas, Rios, Holt, Cherry
    5. Trilogy with Pacquiao

    Bradley is not only a HOF, but he's an ATG.

    A close one, but not for me. Saying that, if he did get in, I wouldn't be complaining about it. I respect the guy as a fighter.
