    Okay so in the current ring magazine ratings they have Timothy Bradley at number six on the pound for pound list, but they have him second behind Amir Khan on the Jnr. Welterweight ratings! I know people have their own thoughts on the ring ratings but this seems pretty inconsistent to me!

    they overrated bradleys opposition, in reality they could switch him with b-hop and it would make more sense.

    Personally I would take Bradley out of the top ten p4p. Plus if they rate Khan higher at the same weight, then surely Khan should be where Bradley is on their list. They need to be more consistent in these ratings!

    Completely agree, it makes no sense. If Bradley had done a ton of prior work at other weights that would be justifiable.

    I also thought that it was bull**** but in a way i liked the answer of Douge Fisher. Bradley is unbeaten never was KOed by a limited fighter and won a fight at WW. That said number 6 is too much for Bradley. About ten or just outside is ok for me

    Because P4P is heavily subjective and theoretical. With division rankings you have a lot more empirical information to go by since people actually have fought each other.

    But I do agree that Bradley is rated too high in the P4P list.
