Two great fighters but I feel Cervantes might be just a bit greater and I fancy him to win on points. Do you agree? At light welter.
Cervantes is a definitive top 5 jnr welterweight. I have him at no. 3 behind only Chavez and Pryor and there's not a lot in it, to be honest. Bradley's a guy who I admired rather than enjoyed watching. His attitude was always excellent, he always came in in great shape and he maximised his potential - you can't ask more than that. Still, Cervantes was a level or more above Bradley in terms of all-round skills and I see him comfortably outpointing Desert Storm, maybe even with a knockdown thrown in for good measure.
Only question is if Bradley lasts the distance or not. He might, but he'd take a beating. Cervantes was on another level from Tim. Cervantes by wide UD.
Kid Pambele Cervantes would win this match up with Tim Bradley, by unanimous decision, in 15 rounds. Cervantes was much slicker and quicker. This fight would resemble Antonio's unanimous 15 round decision win, over Esteban De Jesus, on May 17 1975, in Panama City, Panama, in defense of his WBA Junior Welterweight Title.
