    I thought about this cause Tim Bradley was doing the fight broadcast tonight. Who takes it?

    Id favour Bradley on points but hes not a southpaw so Taylor has a chance.

    They both had some great nights and some not so great nights, as he was tonight there would be no hope but as he was against Ramirez it's interesting at least.

    Bet it would be an awesome fight though because they're both tough, even tonight Taylor came on at the end after taking a lot of shots.

    Bradley at 140 beats Taylor. Just too seasoned.

    Tim was really underrated for most of his pro career. May again be a bit underrated years after his retirement. I'd have to decisively favor him to win a decision here, he had serious roundedness in addition to his athleticism and had a knack for selecting the right primary tool for different opponents. Also, while every bit the pitbull, he generally wasn't as gung-ho at 140 as he showed he could be at 147 after suffering the humiliation of the world ridiculing his W over Manny Pacquiao and feeling a need to put himself in the shop window for further opportunities at great names (sure, he bookended his junior welter unification with Kendall Holt by taking hard knockdowns, but Rated R had some legit dynamite in that hook and Tim adapted after the first drop until he got a little too confident for a moment late on). I think he's tougher and mentally stronger than Taylor, too.

    I'd favour Bradley by some margin, he was underrated during his time, because he lacked power and there were so many higher profile fighters around his weight at the time like Pac, JMM, Khan and Mayweather.

    Bradley wasn't an easy fight for anyone, fast hands, fast feet, good chin and a ton of heart. I've also thought Taylor has been overrated, he's unified all the titles but in a not particularly strong era. Bradley wins a clear decision.
