    Bradley gets a little underrated because he wasn't a big puncher or that exciting, but I'd favour him over all of them. Loma if he was prime, could beat him, but not the current version.

    Bradley from about Vázquez/Witter through Casamayor is comfortably beating today's crop.

    Prime Bradley was the real deal. I think he beats everyone in that list

    Matias would make Tim have nightmares about this fight with Provodnikov.

    Timmy was at the top in a stronger era, I would back Timmy to be the top fighter in this era.

    I only see Teo giving Bradley a hard time based on his Lomachenko performance.

    Dunno about Teo and Haney but he’d be too good for the others.

    Even prime Provodnikov would be a lot for these guys to handle.

    He loses to Haney, Matias, and Lopez imo. These three are better than any 140 pounder Bradley faced

    I am not impressed with this era or Bradley's era. The last time 140 was any good was when Tsyzu was champion.

    I think it's 50-50 with Bradley against Haney and Taylor. I think he beats Caterrall. I think Lopez beats Bradley. Everyone else is a none factor.

    All the guys at 140 are modern fighters, boxing has evolved since Bradley :banana:

    Bradley was good but he didn't really stand out to me honestly, he was good all rounder but didn't excell in any one attribute.

    And whilst he did have some good performances vs Alexander, Marquez, he also had some shaky performances aswell.

    Floored twice vs Kendall Holt.

    Really floored twice by Provodnikov but knockdown in 1st round wasn't called, very lucky to survive 30 more seconds and he was done.

    Almost knocked out by Vargas in the last round got a bit of a lucky break from the referee.

    Would he compete and win a majority of the fights now at 140 ? Probably yeah. But I also don't see him doing a clean sweep either, Bradley was good but not an exceptional fighter that he should be an overwhelming favourite.

    I came here to say this.

    I'd pick Lamont Peterson over all 3 of them, and I'm deadass

    So why are people favoring him to beat Lopez, Matias, and Haney when these three are better than any 140 pounder he ever faced?
