And who would've won if the two met? Both are very solid fighters wint numerous wins over beltholders and contenders, and losses only to elite opponents. - Bradley's best win was Marquez (a robbery vs Pac shouldn't be counted of course). - Porter's best win - probably Danny Garcia. - Both have beaten Devon Alexander quite comfortably (when win over Alexander still mattered). So who had better carreer and who would've won had they met in 2012-2016?
Feel like Bradley rates higher, had a very good run at 140 first, had the Marquez win which is a better win than what Porter has. Also had 3 competitive fights with a great Pacquiao (and technically has a win, whether we agree with it or not). Porter has fought all comers and deserves supreme respect for it but he never got that elite win that Bradley did. Head to head at welter I'd probably lean toward Porter, his size could be the difference in a tear up but it could easily go either way.
Bradley. Taking Devon Alexander and Lamont Peterson’s O’s and snatching Junior Witter’s belt in UK won’t seem like a big deal now, but they trump Porter’s win column.
Bradley couldn't punch but was said to be physically strong. Plus he has that beautiful dome to intercept Porter as he rushes in.
Agree on all points. Plus I think Porter could really hurt Badley with 1 shot. Bradley I don't think can do the same. He could find a way to wear Porter down. I still favor Porter.
Bradley-Porter would be a horrific fight to watch. Sakio Bika ugly. That said, Bradley is beats him. He's smarter, physically stronger, just as relentless, and more durable.
I say Timbo has better “Wins” on his resume Paquiao & Marquez But Porter had the better career & it ain’t close.
this, plus I think that bradley vs porter would be a porter's win. I think that porter is better fighter than bradley.
I think Bradley was the smarter boxer than Porter. Porter could have been better than he actually showed in his career with a decent boxing trainer. He may have beaten Thurman and Spence with a different trainer who would give him a better gameplan and refined and cleaned up his skills more. Bradley was a good boxer but perhaps overrated in hindsight. You could say he was ''elite'' at 140 but i'd have liked him to fight Maidana and Khan. It's a shame the Khan fight especially didn't happen. I think Bradley was the smarter boxer but Porter is the tougher more naturally bigger boxer who i'd probably favor to beat Tim Bradley in an ugly fight. Bradley had the in ring smarts to beat Porter. Porter had the aggressiveness and strength to potentially give him big problems. Bradley at his best was at 140. He didn't look as dynamic at 147. Bradley had the better career.
