Does Bradley's dominance over Peterson make you think Bradley is elite?

His stock did raise after Petersons world title victory but he's still done nothing in the last 12 months bar a tune up with a shot to **** Casamayor, he has a fine resume regardless but I don't wanna see him sit on the shelf much longer

 

At the moment he is a B+ fighter to me. Beating JMM would prove a lot more.

I'd say:
Pac/PBF

Ward
Wlad
Donaire

Martinez
Bradley

Could be argued he is higher than Martinez. Martinez had a close enough fight with Cintron for Cintron to get a gift draw and lost to PW

 

I say Bradley is that elite. No one has ever beaten him just like no one has beaten Ward. He's always getting better with every fight, he's always in shape, and I think he would do the same to Ortiz and Berto that he did to Peterson so it's not just styles.

I do think he loses to Mayweather or Pacquiao unless either of them get old overnight but they are the only fighters in his class who can beat him.

 

JMM is not on your list tho

 

Styles make fights even though Tim ackowledged that Lamont gave him his tougher fight up until then. But I would agree with the assumption that if you have two guys going toe to toe and a third guy dominated one of them, then this third guy is the one... What it seem to be normally and really is, take it by me.

 

Bradley the ducker?????

 

no bradley beating the **** out of everybody he's ever fought including world class fighters does

 

it does make you think that bardley could be levels above the rest of the LWW but of course styles makes fights.

 

Nope. I only reserve elite level fighters to the likes of Mayweather, Manny, Wlad etc...

Bradley is a solid undefeated fighter but there is nothing exceptional in his ability. He shown vulnerability against Kendall holt and doesnt have power. I remember seeing a clip of hearns trying to teach bradley the technique to punch harder and bradley couldnt pick it up. His technique isnt there. Hes like a poor mans Andre ward.
He comes in exceptional condition though and has great athleticism

 

"Elite" doesn't mean ATG; it means at or near the top of your division and the sport in general. He's been at the top of 140 for a while now. With Khan and Peterson doing great things during his relative in activity, his claim as the best has some legitimate competition, but he's definitely elite.

 

Bradley is not an elite fighter


When Pacquiao KO's him all will be good.

 

So if Bradley lose to an ATG fighter it means he is not elite? If Donaire will lose to an ATG fighter does it mean Donaire is not elite?
