Tim Bradley is the last great Welterweight left.

Not sure this is true for all fighters though. I think it more has to do with fighters reflexes slowing down as they get older and as a result taking shots they previously wouldn't have been hit with. Ali got a better chin as he got older and took more shots, same with Foreman.

 

It doesn't happen to everyone, Froch had a steady chin as he went on, but this guy got hurt badly by Vargas, a guy who has like 5 knockouts. Yes the punch was timed perfectly, but I doubt the old Bradley reacts like that.

 

I don't know when he said this, but if it was before he could atually watch a replay then there's now way he could remember everything that went on in the fight. Too much adrenaline going through your body to remember that stuff.

 

He also got hit by some big shots by Pac in the second fight and to my eye didn't really even stumble much at all other then balance.

 

most judges had it around 8-4 too, and I trust Bradley's card as being objective over any if it seems like a fair scorecard.

 

Bradley admitted to being rocked by Pac in the second fight. Either way Pac has clearly lost his power, look at Rios, a walking punching bag Pac should have made mince meat margarito style out of.

 

Fair enough, still he looked for more dominant in the fight despite the rounds. I hope he fights some of the top young welterweights next. I would like to see him vs Mathysse actually. Would answer a lot of questions.

 

So if Pac lost his power then what would have happened 5 years ago if he hit Mayweather with the punch that he got stunned by? Not trying to turn this into one of those threads but just had to bring it up.

 

Cause Bradley has done nothing at welterweight that would be considered "great" unless you are a Pac fan trying to inflate his resume

 

IT would obviously have a bigger effect, but the loss of power is highly suspicious and he most likely was on some kind of PED/Steroid which is why he refused to the drug testing terms on a 50/50 contract.

 

He beat the Marquez that just knocked out Pac. And btw I didn't even like Bradley till the Provodnikov fight and then i began watching more of his fights and liked him.

 

Ehh... lets get off that topic, been done too many times. Where would you rank Bradley H2H at welterweight right now?

 

Don't bring it up then .

Bradley loses to Thurman/Floyd/Pac/maidana that fought floyd/broner, and Khan might be able to outbox him too, but I dont know after Algieri.

He beats Brook, Rios, Porter, Garcia.

 

My bad just had to get it out there.

You really think he loses to Thurman? Thurman isn't going to get Bradley out of there and then he starts to pot shot and box from the outside. Bradley will undoubtedly be able to get in close and do better work on the inside landing good body shots on him(which he is susceptible to.)

And if he beats all those guys that still would put him close to the top at welterweight imo.
