Does the draw with Chaves show how overrated Manny's win over Bradley is?

    For the record I had Bradley winning by 2 rounds, but the fight was extremely close nonetheless.

    possibly. All of the division is declining though.

    Mayweather vs Maidana and Pacquiao vs Bradley would have been joke fights in 2009.

    Manny won both fights very convincingly though.
    most people think Bradley beat Chaves

    Most people think Bradley barely beat Chaves. The point is Chaves isn't even a top 10 ranked WW. Everyone was saying Manny beat a top 3 p4p, Bradley never proved anything at WW beside beating unnatural WW's in Marquez, and Ruslan(arguably lost this fight).

    No. Manny beat Tim without too much trouble twice. If it does, then Marquez looks like **** :).

    No more than Floyds close win over Maidana proves that Devon is a boxing wizard.

    You guys go beyond the call of duty to fluff Floyd up and abase Pacquiao.

    Manny, dominated Bradley.
    Bradley just beat Chaves(or a close fight if you want to call it that)
    If Manny met Chaves, what the hell do you think will happen?
    some type of miracle?

    Hell no. Bradley is one of the best around 140-147 and he has the wins to prove it: Holt, Nate Campbell, Márquez, Alexander, Pac, Provodnikov, Witter - that's a great run of wins for anybody.

    Not anybody with eyes, he was just about beating Thurman before the stoppage and he was just about beating Rios before the DQ, he was comprehensively beaten by Bradley tonight and it does boxing a disservice to say otherwise

    I wouldn't call it a close fight at all, Bradley won clearly

    Why are you repeating yourself? Yes, Manny dominated Bradley, but my point is Bradley hasn't really beat any true WW's before his fight with Manny, and his fight with Chaves proves how many flaws he has at 147. Manny would most likely beat Chaves decisively with a decision, but his win over Bradley is extremely overrated. I wouldn't even rate Bradley a top 5 welterweight after that performance.

    You're not taking in count that Maidana has a new trainer and that his career has been rejuvenated since he's been with Garcia. If Maidana gets schooled or loses badly after he's been with Garcia then I would agree with your statement.
