    What if Timothy Bradley fought and beat Khan and Garcia @ 140? How much would those victories add to his resume at that weight?

    I think he would have a higher statue as he has now after the gift against Pac and the life and death against Provo.
    Those 2 "wins" have certainly tainted his resume, while real victories against Khan and Garcia would only have added to it.

    He still has wins over solid fighters like Alexander.

    True, but at least Garcia is a bigger name as Alexander (who received a couple of gifts himself).

    Moving to 147 and beating Paquioa trumps everything!

    If he stayed at 140 he would have multiple l's, dude didnt even have the confidence to shut Khan's mouth, then to get beat from pillar to post by a 140 pounder he called up that was supposed to be a soft easy touch..................

    He loses to Garcia, Khan, and LM

    Really? Maybe he loses to LM, and Khan would be a 50/50 fight, but I personally think he would outbox Garcia.

    Hell, Khan was outboxing Garcia until the knockdown, and Bradley has better fundamentals than Khan. I would pick Bradley by UD.

    I think Khan/Bradley is close to a 50/50 fight... Bradley himself didn't fancy his chances too much and went straight for the Manny pay day (which, in hindsight, was a good move). He beats Garcia though... and I'm not sure what happens between him and Matthysse. Now THAT's an intriguing fight.

    I think Bradley beats Khan and Garcia. A fight with Lucas is hard to call.

    tim would beat khan easy. He's got the ability to adapt and work out his opponent, khan hasn't .. he doesn't the same thing over n over whether it's working or not. Tim would beat garcia too

    Tim & Alexander didn't have the balls to face Khan so Fugged off to 147.

    I'd like to see him back down at 140.

    What's the issue with him, I know he took the Pac fight but has either him or his team come out and said he can't make 140 anymore?

    He'd beat Khan & Garcia if he is able to make the weight comfortably.
