    Floyd would take beaten the Hell outta Bradley.

    Bradley's not underrated at all. He's actually very OVERRATED.

    no, but he can make a case for himself by winning beating a Brook/Thurman/Pac in a rubber match

    No he's still active.

    You need to be retired 4 years to be eligible for the HOF

    He has to beat around 2 big names (i.e Brook, Thurman) and then he's certainly a HOF.

    Not a first ballot but he should get in there. Rios is going to KO that azz though.

    Yes he is. The hall of fame is a popularity contest more-so than it is an achievement hub. The first Pacquiao fight got him enough controversy and attention to easily belong there. Additionally, he's also highly achieved and criminally underrated.

    If Bradley fights the right fight and doesn't go careless mode for the fans, Rios is going to end up looking like the walking one-dimensional sandbag that he truly is. The skill gap in this one is far too high for Rios to look any good in this fight. All it takes is for Bradley to keep it up and not get careless.

    On paper yes. He does have an official victory over both Pacquiao and Marquez. He also has quite a few other names in his resume Peterson, Casamayor, Alexander, Holt, etc... If you go by the official record I don't know how you can keep him out.

    Definitely "Abs Hall of Fame".

    He has a damn good list of victims:

    Junior Witter (in the UK...no home town decision).
    Kendall Holt
    Nate Campbell
    Lamont Peterson
    Joel Casamayor
    Provo
    Marquez
    Manny Pacquiao (I don't care how you scored it; it's in the record books as a win)

    That looks pretty good as compared to....no, I'm not going to type those three letters.

    Dude has lost only ONCE, and that was (legitimately and unquestionably) to Manny.

    He is borderline HOF right now. A couple more wins over top notch competition and I would not argue about his induction.

    I don't think so.

    He needs more bigger wins.

    He clearly lost to Pac in the first fight and Provodnikov almost beat him.

    Beating a shot Casamayor and Devon Alexander shouldn't get you into the HOF - even if he won a close decision against an old Marquez.

    Ok the funny thing is that Bradley from the Marquez fight could've done that. I don't think that this Bradley exists anymore. Rios is getting seriously underrated he has a good style to catch up with Bradley and punish him on the inside. Bradley also parted ways with Diaz who is a great trainer I don't think he will look any better with Atlas.

    He used to be but those days are gone.
    Timothy Bradley has regressed as a boxer and he has become a fighter: a fighter who has looked lousy in his past three fights.
