    Yea Bradley definitely underrated. If Pacman can't make 147 this fight would of been best for both at 140. But they both elite fighters pretty close to their primes. They both have alot of heart, but yea Bradley is getting overlooked bigtime. Bradley has improved his boxing skills dramatically. He's not just the come forward pressure fighter anymore he can pressure fight and box very well.

    No even close to one of his best wins.

    Do you know the concept of "when it's all said and done"? As in you can't accurately judge the significance of this win until Bradley's career and the guys he has beaten is over? I understand that right now, it won't rank as one of his best but i'm saying that when it's all said and done, it just might.

    Understand?

    Similair to timmy's win over peterson on a lower legacy level of course but still.
    Fighting young tough opposition are good legacy investmentwins for guys in the twilight of their career.
    A great example is marcel beating arguello:deal

    Pac winning against an undefeated bradley is just about on par with mayweather beating hatton for the first time. So yes I agree.

    mmm maybe. Ijust dont put that much stock in bradley. He's a decent fighter, nothing special imo.

    I agree with you.

    Bradley is undefeated, he is the undisputed number 1 in his division, he is a long-time p4p-ranked fighter by now, he has already fought and won at ww, he is at his absolute peak, and he is proven, as he has beaten some top guys at 140.

    I think it'd be in Pac's top 5, and that's saying something.

    Bradley was a preferred opponent by the majority of ESB posters before Pac fought Mosley and again before he fought Marquez. To try and **** on this fight now that he's fighting an undefeated young fighter would be petty as ****. Bradley is going to push Manny and that's what he needs, someone in his face. It's a hell of a lot harder to outfight Manny than it is to outbox him. At least it is if his head is in the fight. That would be the only thing I could think of that could really screw this fight for him.

    And should anyone try and say Bradley is smaller, he's really not. Manny is a 140 guy fighting above his real division. I think he could easily make weight for 140 but the money is in the WW division. Hell, I think he could make LW if he wanted to.

    **** all that bull****, if pac wanted to fight at 140, he would be. 147 is clearly his division anyone who suggests otherwise is full of ****.

    Bradley has already said he can't make 140 comfortably anymore. He's planning a move to 147 and what better way to announce himself than by beating Manny Pacquiao?
