If Bradley had stayed at LWW...

Bradley actually unified 2 belts twice at LWW, with Holt in 2009 and Alexander in 2011.

In an ideal world he would have fought Khan in 2011 but he opted to sign with TR and get the big money Pacquaio fight.

I think he would have reigned supreme as long as he could make weight. I think he would have beaten Khan, would beat Garcia, already beat Provo at 147, would beat Matthysse, already beaten Peterson etc. I don't see anyone on the last 3-4 years at 140 who would have beaten Bradley. Maybe Terrance Crawford would now or in future but that's because Bradley's getting on and has been on wars.

 

He would not have as much money in his bank account as he does today.

 

😂 very true! I think sometimes as fans we forget that the aim of the game is to make money. If he'd have stayed at LWW and fought the likes of Khan/ Matthysse/ Garcia etc he'd certainly have quite a resume and a claim to being the best LWW since Kostya but in reality he made way more off the Pacquio fights than he would have staying at 140 for his whole career.

 

I think he would have beaten them all, can understand why he went up, think how much fighting Pacquiao twice and Marquez made him, true he shouldn't have got the second Pacman fight but that's how it went and he 'earned' it by beating Provodnikov in a thriller and comfortably beating Dinamita.

 

ya i think bradley is pretty happy with the way things have turned out

 

he could have unified the belts if they allowed him to fight all the other champs but he would not have also not fought great fighters in pac and marquez plus taking more money. he is challenging himself by going up in weight and calling the bigger guys like ggg and cotto. i hope he fights thurman and brook before going northwards.

 

I think Khan & Matthysse both beat Bradley Khan purely on size and style, Matthysse is simply to tough and would stop Tim depending on when they fought.
The rest I might favor him to various degree's of difficulty.

 

Bradley would rough Khan up inside. Throw in a couple headbutts lol. It would by ugly but I can't see Khan keeping him on the outside.

 

bradley made the right choice to leave shaw and join tr.

 

I agree that both matchups would be competitive, I'm not even a Khan fan but I think Khan just has a style edge, Bradley is shorter than Pacquiao he's gonna eat punches trying to get in and with no power he really has nothing to worry even Khan.
As far as Matthysse I think Garcia won that fight handily but, it's ppl who'll think Bradley arguably lost to Pac 2x,JMM,Provo,& Chaves all in a row row and they'd be just as right as someone who didn't. Matthysse is probably the hardest puncher an just beatdown Provodikov. Bradley might get mualed but it depends on when they fight. In around 09/10 I'd favor Tim slightly currently I'd favor The Machine

 

"Had Bradley stayed @ 140" is up there IMO with "Had Adamek stayed @ CW"...

 

That both should have stayed? I agree. Although I tend to think perhaps Bradley couldn't squeeze down anymore? That crazy b@s**** be talking about 154 and even 160 all the time.
