Just my two-cents, Bradkey is the best American jr. welterweight since Aaron Pryor

    Look, I'm not comparing him with Pryor in any way.

    But on achievements alone he is the best American to start at 140 lbs in a long while and probably would've keep on going longer has he not looked for a payday.

    The last man to at least show potential in a similar fashion was Judah until he was already knocked off his perch violently by Tszyu.

    Bradley is a unified champion, undefeated for a reason, and a guy like Alexander was no match for him. He may not be exciting or as impressive as you'd like him to be, but he is legit.

    I'm saying this for those who always try to dismiss Bradley and the Pacquiao fight. Discrediting Bradley would serve two purposes: 1) If Pacquiao wins dominantly, they can always dismiss Bradley as a hypejob and 2) If Pacquiao performs poorly they would just say he is overrated and the usual BS that is circulating around here.

    Taylor vs Bradley would have been close, bradley is better skilled and more veristille.

    I strongly disagree.

    Taylor would have outworked him, and win a wide decision.

    Chavez was more skilled, and versatile than Bradley, plus punched way harder, and Taylor was beating him before getting stopped in the 12th.

    Bradley's punching wont do near the same amount of damage than that of Julios.

    Bradley has 0% chance against Taylor. Anyone who says otherwise is quite simply wrong.

    McGirt and Maywether easily better American 140 champs than him as well......

    probably, but it's just one of those things you have weird feeling about, I'll Admit that's more about gut feeling than logic - I do think Taylor wins but by close clear decision like 116-112/115-113.

    Bradley and Chavez had different styles and a different skillset (eventhough Chavez >> Bradley)
