    lol Bradley was a bum and was lucky he fought in weak divisions with bums like Devon Alexander holding belts. How is this even a discussion.

    It's a good question when you consider Bradley has wins over -

    J M Marquez
    Pacquiao
    Witter
    Holt
    Alexander
    Peterson
    Casamayor
    Provodnikov
    Vargas

    Bradley lost to Pac like 110-118, it was a brutal robbery

    Bradley was an elite pound for pound level fighter in his prime and beat some of the best.

    He was not a ‘Bum’.At least not as a fighter,I have to admit I don’t like his commentary.

    No one considers the Pacquiao win to be legit.

    Casamayor was shot and it was the last fight of his career.

    JMM win is a good one because JMM still had something left but he was 40 years old aswell and he wasn't a Welterweight.

    Provodnikov was a great fight but Bradley was also very lucky the knockdown in the 1st round was ruled a slip when it was a clear knockdown which would've made the fight a draw on the judges scorecards.

    He has a solid resume but context does need to be applied rather than just listing these names at face value.

    You can make arguments like that in many cases
    Some here felt Crawford lost his fight with Alvarez and his previous fight
    Some things I have read here indicate Spence may not have been the same fighter when Crawford fought him due to the road accident.
    Just to give examples of how that can be done to many careers
    It doesn't remove the fact of what I wrote which was

    It's a good question when you consider Bradley has wins over -

    J M Marquez
    Pacquiao
    Witter

    I'm not a fan in particularly of either, but Crawford is by far a better fighter with a better record.
