Is Bradley A Hall Of Famer?

This is a yes with no questions

 

Bad ass fights to his competition sometimes though. If he fights rios like he did vargas it should be no problems.

 

Hilarious. Where do they make you dudes? Tim's jab has been solid as ever recently. Totally shut down Vargas with it.

 

Hey dude, i've been in Hawaii working. I just thought i'd come visit. How are you?

 

Nice to see you still out there too, sir.

 

You literally have to be on crack to score it for JMM.

 

the only real basis for this was his "win" over pacman. But it wasn't really a win, so....

it swings on if you thought he beat the Pac. Nothing else he has done comes close to HoFing.

 

:deal

 

He's clearly a HOF. You have to take things by this generation, by your standards the only people who will make it to the HOF are Floyd and Pac. Bradley has a top 5 resume, even Calzaghe got into the HOF and Bradley's resume is far better.

 

yeah but calzaghe got in by backdoor. Hes one of the most fake Hofers ever.

If the SMW divisions hadn't existed, calzaghe would have never got close to it, would have been stuck at euro lvl as a LHW for years perhaps getting a world title briefly ad then needing to run away to avoid getting defeated.

But you cant say that just because someone gets in by the backdoor, then others get in to when they aren't using the backdoor - there are dozens of SMWs alone better than calzaghe ...should they all be in the HoF too?

 

I'm not at all sure that's true, my standard for HoF is basically doing something that makes you famous/makes you standout in boxing. That would include -

- beating someone outstanding eg marquez beating pac
- becoming undisputed and defending it
- winning multiple weight titles
- setting a historical precedent eg youngest/oldest titlist,
- setting a record eg defence records by joe calzaghe, sven ottke, dariuz, hopkins etc
- something very unusual in itself -klitshckos being brothers holding hw titles.

whereas guys like pac and Floyd are a definite division above any of that, having done any number of these things.

 

Nah, that's not my point. I'm just saying there are tons of HOFers that made it that have had far worse resumes than Bradley. I guess our definitions of HOF is different. I put anyone who's had one of the best resumes in boxing in their era as a HOF. Bradley is not an ATG in my books by any means, but I think he's done enough to get in the HOF.

 

it is an excellent resume if you allow for the pacman win.

you might be right, I am taking the meaning literally rather than in the light it is seen in boxing, but for me fame is being famous for something.
