    I think Mcgirt was better at 147 but at 140 i think this is a pretty good matchup. Does Bradley do what Meldrick Taylor did to Mcgirt:huh Na i dont think Bradley was as good as Taylor:nono But i am impressed with Bradley and would like to hear your opinions on this one.

    I think im leaning towards Mcgirt but I wouldnt put money on this one:think

    Well we will have to see how good Bradley becomes...He is still developing imo...and has potential to be something special....has shown he can box a bit, he claims he likes to box from the outside, but from what I have seen bradley does his best work on the inside....

    Imo prime McGirt was at 140, he was losing to Taylor when he got stopped, he gave whitaker a run for his money in their first meeting, but lost a wide ud in the second meaning....Had good skills, with sneaky power at times....

    Either McGirt outboxes Bradley, or Bradley out works McGirt on the inside...

    McGirt until proven otherwise is in another, higher league to Bradley. Bradley is impressive but I need more to be thinking about this one seriously. He's fast and yes, he might outwork him but I think McGirt is an underrated ring general with his own impressive natural gifts.

    Yey but at 140 he seemed to be a Boxer/Puncher at 147 he was more Boxer and i think he was better although he didnt have as much power he seemed to outclass everyone. Where as at 140 he was Dominated by Taylor and had some other tough fights(frankie Warren)

    Bradley is a really good fighter. I see a struggle there but if both come in the ring healthy I see Mc Girt winning a split or majority decision.

    In time I could see myself picking Tim...As has been mentioned Buddy wasnt quite the finished product at 140 and his tendency to gas could and probably would play into Bradley's hands down the stretch.

    Not ready to make that call yet with any confidence though.
