    Lamont Peterson? Now you're tripping. How is Lamont better than Haney, Matias, and Lopez?

    I don't know you'll have to ask them my opinion is that Bradley is a good fighter and a solid all rounder. But he doesn't excell at any one thing and hes beatable IMO good fighter but not great.

    Better jab, better body puncher, better at cutting off the ring, durability proven............and this is in multiple fights. Lamont was only blown out once by Matthysse, and outdueled by Bradley in his prime. Errol smashed him because quite frankly it was Errol and Lamont was at the tail end of his career. There's more than enough evidence and him dealing with different styles that make me believe Lamont would be extremely hard work for all 3. We've seen Teo lose to someone who pressed the gas on him. His frame is actually bigger than Haney's, Matias is the darkhorse but again other than Matthysse Lamont handled opponent power quite well in his prime. You don't have to be outstanding in something to be world level, Lamont was good at everything from a fundamental standpoint

    Because he's also better than any 140 pounder they have faced? It sorta works both ways. We wont know how good these truly are unless they fight each other.

    Plus Bradely was tough and relentless. He showed he had dog in him.

    Bradley would be 50/50 w Teo

    Matias stops or clearly decisions Bradley w 1+ KD

    Haney outboxes in a boring decision

    Teo vs Provodnikov would be a shootout. I'd give the edge to Teo cuz of his counterpunching style. He'd even probably do better than Bradley on the ropes, when Provodnikov had him cornered.

    While Provodnikov vs Haney would be boring as hell. Only entertainment there would be Provodnikov having Haney stumble across the ring like Algieri. But at the end Haney still wins by robbery decision

    In my grandpa's time, he used to say "They don't make 'em like ole Timmeh no more." and then he'd take a swig from the jug and nod his head and squint. And we all knew he was proud.

    Of what, I don't know. He didn't even know Bradley.
