    Depends on your context of great.

    Measuring against current fighters, he's accomplished more than 99.99% of active pros will, so in that regard, he's great. Excellent resume.

    However, I don't think he's "great" in the historical sense and H2H, he'd come up short against those who are. His heart and recovery have compensated for lack of ideal physical tools, and he can abandon a gameplan too soon. But his will to win deserves much credit.

    Overall, I'd rate Bradley a very good fighter, but again, it's all about your context and your definition of what constitutes greatness.

    Bradley is the Jr. WW version of Holyfield.

    He might just barely reach the level of greatness, but not by any significant way

    Too early to tell at this stage but beat Marquez and he's well on his way

    really good fighter, can get too reckless like in the prod fight which may hurt him at some point, but really good skills and top class heart.

    not sure what his ceiling is, but he can definitley be a HoF type guy especially if he beats JMM. still a long way for bradley to go, the prod fight made me a fan of his.

    Bradley is already legit, he beats anyone at 140 right now, last fight made him look vulnerable but he chose to fight like that he won't do it again

    The man is reckless but **** he fights KO on his feet....He is special....I except his next fight will be fight of the year unless he gets too sloppy and ends up KTFO by JM:smoke

    He does lead with his head like a ram at times 2:patsch
