    Let's keep it real, a lot of people are still sold on Bradley being an A- fighter behind the likes of Mayweather, and Pac. To be an A fighter or on the P4P list you must do something good or great, what does Bradley Good or great

    hell we got C class fighter that do one thing good or great so why is Bradley Hyped, let's go down the list.


    Good Jab? Nope, yet to see a nice pop in it

    Power? Nope , couldn't even finsih off a no name Lamont Peterson.

    Chin? Nope ask Kendall Holt

    Defense? Nope takes 2 to throw 3

    i'm not saying he's a bumb, but he's not there and will never be there, but he he does have good stamina through the fight, but with out true skills it's only a matter of time till he gets exposed he's like a 140lb Jeff Lacy. My freind used to swear Lacy was the future when I never saw **** in him.

    If Bradley was in a video game like Fight night, he would be the guy with average marks through out his attributes

    O yea , Bradley has heart the most overrated asset in boxing, because if you have skills you wouldn't have to show heart every other fight.

    A lot of people didn't think Mayweather had heart just because his skills payed the bills and he never had to turn into a dragon.

    I don't have to say nomore because Alexander will come for him soo. And prove my point, and by the way Alexander has a good Jab with a nice pop that he can keep it going for 12 rounds.

    Thumbs down. Bradley is already more accomplished than Lacy. I think he has room to grow.

    Yes he does. Peterson was a very credible opponent who he's likely to be world champ one day. Also Bradley is always in top condition, Lacy wasnt

    Lacy was a plodding one handed power puncher; Bradley is an athletic technician. :?

    Get outa here with that. He's already the "MAN" and in my eyes Lacy never was. Bradley has serious abilities while Lacy hand a left hook that really wasnt that devastating.

    I agree Bradley is the best or 2nd best JWW, he has beaten Cherry, Holt, Vazquez, Witter, Peterson and Campbell.(or at least it was looking like it) Not to mention Bradley is very athletic, while Lacy was a plodder.....Oh wait...Bradley and Lacy have nothing in common.

    I don't understand the hate for fighters that fight with heart, but don't really have the skills to match their heart. IE: Froch and now Bradley. Give them there due they are really good fighters, and near the top 20 P4P. (Well I guess may'be not Froch now since he lost his '0', but still he is a good fighter.)

    wow... lol...

    Alright, so you have jeff, a plodding one dimensional slugger (no offence to lacy, i like him and he was a good fighter who simply fell far short of elite, or great, but compared to most who lace up a glove he was a good fighter and pretty succesful) but lets be real, he was a plodding heavy handed slugger, and out of all the fighters out there your drawing parrallels betwen him and Bradley? lol... alright, well the good thing about this is time will tell, best believe im bumping this thread when the time comes

    Not sure about the Bradley/Lacy comparison but I agree that Bradley is a bit over-rated. He is a very solid fighter but I would not be one bit surprised if he lost his next fight.

    Lacy and Bradley do not belong in the same sentence.
