    With Maidana it really depends on how he fights. If he fights like he did against his past couple opponents he has a big chance of losing.

    Yeah true, but that's right now. IN a couple years, Khan, Brook, Porter etc will be able to beat him imo, his style is reliant on athleticism. People overrate Bradley's boxing skills, he's great on the inside, and decent on the outside, but he's also very hittable, and he just liek Vargas Thurman can time a shot over a lazy jab but unlike vargas get him out of there.

    Yeah I'd agree with those(although I think he always beats Khan just a bad style match up for Khan). But the thread is saying other than the current fab 3 he is the top dog.

    I'm not sure if he could actually get him out of there. Thurman will explode for like 15 seconds trying to get an opponent out of there then stop.

    If he lands the shot Vargas did he definitely will get him out of there.

    That wasn't that impressive, Marquez is far from unbeatable

    It would knock him down. I don't think out though. Neither of us know for sure though.

    Marquez has always had trouble against boxers, though Bradley isn't really a "boxer", he fought like one in that fight and used his jab to win the fight. If Bradley went all out brawling and won the fight that'd be an impressive win over Marquez.

    By the time Bradley fought Marquez his best days were past him. KO6 was his last great performance not the resurrection of his career

    No offense, but that kind of thinking is ridiculous. Pac has problems against counter punchers that doesn't mean that Floyd's win over him his lesser because of that. Styles always make fights. But the boxer also has to execute the style at a high class level to beat a high class opponent.

    He really hasn't shown any sign of that effecting his performance though ffs he just knocked out Pac.

    He was great, big fan, but not that great anymore. What do you expect after those wars.
