    This guy is held in high regard on this forum.

    I admit I don't follow boxing fights as much as I should, being busy with school, work, and my own training I rarely catch fights that aren't PPV or mainstream fighters.

    Anyways, I'm going to look up videos now, but any info is appreciated, as in who he's fought? Good qualities?

    Great engine , quick hands , solid if not devestating puncher.

    Took Witters belt beat holt and then beat ( my pick for future greatness ) Peterson.

    I'm a big fan !!

    I'm not sold on him, he's decent but nothing special IMO. A fairly disinterested Kendall Holt had him down twice and with just a bit more effort would have beaten him, and a 60% Junior Witter only lost to him by a couple of rounds, that tells you a lot about Bradley's level IMO. If he'd been around in the Hatton, Cotto, Tyszu, PBF era of the division he wouldn't have even picked up a belt. Alexander looks the better prospect to me.

    Holy hell, just saw the knockdown from the holt fight (1st). That was a damn good knockdown.

    He is getting better..

    Uses his head quite a bit, just his style, or on purpose, i don't know..

    I like him tho, he has the right attitude, will fight anybody..

    It's possible I'm underrating Bradley but I don't see anything truly "special" in him.

    He's got very good stamina, recuperative powers and throws a lot of punches but I don't think he excels in any one area. I know some people have him in the top 10 P4P just now but I just don't see it.

    A very good fighter, who I don't think will ever be great.

    Hes not to bad.

    Good speed and shot variety, decent power and foot work, alright defense, doesn't have a granite chin but does seem to recover ok from a decent shot.

    An all around good fighter.

    Whether he can go on to greater things in unknown right now. The main reason being that, whilst being an all around good fighter and not having any major flaws, he does not excel in any one particular area. He has shown good improvement in all his fights though so it will be interesting to see how far he can go.
