    He fought and lost to Anthony Thompson, Andre Berto (twice), Juan McPherson, Xavier Noel, Alfredo Angulo, Ed Joseph and Vanes Martirosyan during his amateur days. Sure he lost but he is the much smaller guy and no doubt he gained a lot of experience.

    I have only seen his fight against Witter which I thought he won hands down, the SD was hometown judging.

    My question is, who has dropped Bradley as a pro? I have read that he was dropped by lesser punches than Holt.

    Second question: I remember reading that there was some sort of controversy in the Garnica fight that favored Bradley. What trouble did Bradley have in that fight?

    Bradley is a good all round fight. Nothing outstanding has been shown yet but then he could be the next Hopkins and Wright. Even they didn't start with their outstanding defences.

    Yeah he is a good, entertaining fighter.

    Do you know the answers to those questions?

    As far as I know Bradley hasn't been droped as a pro(I haven't followed his career til recently) and I haven't seen the Garnica fight but Garnica was dropped 3 times in a 8 rounder,don't know what controversy can be there.

    I don't remember Bradley ever being knocked down. He was buzzed for a second a couple of times though.

    IIRC, Bradley pretty much shut out Garncia and gave him the most convincing loss of his career.

    maybe I am thinking of the Rangel fight? This is from a Dan Raph write up:

    Junior welterweight
    Timothy Bradley W8 Manuel Garnica
    Records: Bradley, 18-0; Garnica, 22-7
    Rafael's remark: Bradley, 23, won his second consecutive fight on "ShoBox" and did it far more impressive fashion than he did in his struggle with Jaime Rangel in December. Bradley counterpunched the slower Garnica, 32, and dropped him three times in the first four rounds to cruise to an easy victory. Garnica, who had never been down previously in his career, was decked with a right hand in the second round and twice more in the fourth.
    Garnica was no creampuff opponent. In his last fight, he was robbed of a decision in Juan Lazcano's hometown of El Paso, Texas. In the fight before that, Garnica outpointed former titlist Carlos Maussa. Garnica may have been hampered against Bradley because of a first-round accidental head butt that opened a cut over his right eye.

    Rangel was one of the fights where he was wobbled.

    He's probably talking about the cut though.

    He was dazed by Edner Cherry with a Cherry Bomb but recovered and was back in control 10 seconds later.
