    Does he have what it takes to be great in this sport? He has good fundamentals, but people accuse him of headbutting.

    Nah.

    Should have finished the champs job and done his buisness at 140 before taking a payday and loss @ 147.

    He'll be forgotten soon after he retires. Historians will not romanticize his career. But then again, very few are.

    Can't be that great since he's with Top Rank, they just arn't that good in the 140-147 range.

    Not too many guys unify multiple belts at a weight class like Bradley did at 140

    most guys dont have what it takes to fight with 2 hurt ankles like he did with Pac or fight toe to toe with a hard puncher when hurt

    if you have to question his mentality and if he is tough enough then i dont know what more he has to do

    as far as the butting goes id be willing to say its accidental, look at his biggest fight vs Manny he didnt butt him, his last fight when he got in danger he did not butt him, also vs Alexander one of the headbutts he got the worse of it

    where he is at now he is on pace to be great especially if he beats Marquez, damn shame the Pacquiao decision has really hurt his legacy in the meantime but if he keeps winning big fights that may soon fade

    We'll see how he does against JMM. That should put a another brushstroke on the picture.

    Will be more interesting to see how JMM deals with Bradley rather than Bradley deals with JMM.

    Will be hilarious if Bradley is flurrying with his powder punches with JMM counterpunching the **** outa him

    Marquez is great when his opponent comes forward. Bradley will fight him off the back foot.

    He's a decent fighter who has a lot of heart, but he won't go down as a great

    once his career is said done he can for sure be either a hall of famer or a great.

    hes still young and can accomplish boat loads.

    if he beats JMM thats huge right there . but thats a big if

    Bradley is a very good fighter. He put in a very good performance against Pac, and has a good resume.
