    I think Abraham.

    You could say p4p, Bradley=Taylor, both skilled athletic fighters.

    That's a pretty broad comparison.

    If you say so.

    Heres a hint though, Taylor has achieved more and beat better fighters than Bradley. Bradley is getting seriously overrated IMO. He beat Holt who was a B-C level fighter and peterson who again is a b-c level fighter.

    Grandpa Nate who got KTFO by Peden and is not only old but bloated? Holt who? :lol: The guy hasnt beaten anyone at all. Witter whos all talk no action. Peterson...a prospect...woooo.

    Here's one for you, Taylor beat Bernard Hopkins. Twice.

    That's fine, but they fight nothing alike. And both Holt and Peterson are solid B level fighters. Neither of them are C level. Jermain Taylor has achieved more than Bradley, but that's based soley off of two controversial wins off of Hopkins. Bradley is knocking on the door as far as being a top 10 p4p fighter.

    I got Abraham in this one. Bradley has a decent resume, best name on his ledger probably being Witter, but Abraham has been around longer and defeated more decent fighters. You have the Taylor and Miranda wins, but you also have guys like Gevor, Ikeke, Jantuah and Eastman that give him the edge in number of B level fighters defeated.

    Bradley by a hair for now. Abraham passes him if he wins his next fight. Abraham's resume kinda sucks for someone so highly touted. They're both in the 16 - 20 range for me though.

    I wasnt really saying they fight alike, I just rated them alike. Taylor has achieved more and on his best probably a better fighter than Bradley. I made the comparison because I believe their current abilities (taylor before getting ktfo again) to be the same and IMO they had similar aura about them, alot of hype, mainly because both guys look very good and very athletic. Decent skills too.

    BTW I wouldnt rate Holt a B level fighter. The guy is a B- at his best and C level most of the time. B level guys are Judah's, maybe Bradley himself, Valero's etc. Holt got an SD win over D.Hopkins and an MD win over a shot Tackie, a guy Mathew Magic Hatton just beat more convincingly.

    And Peterson is nothing more than a prospect.

    I don't know why you are comparing Bradley to Jermain Taylor from 2005-2006.

    Since 2007, Taylor has
    an SD win over Spinks
    a KO loss to Pavlik
    a decision loss to Pavlik
    a decision win over Jeff Lacy
    a KO loss to Froch
    KO loss to Abraham

    I would almost completely dissagree with you. Bradley is definately ahead of Taylor in terms of ability. Taylor is an athletic guy that they threw in the boxing ring. Bradley is a good athlete, but he's a natural fightetr. He's much more versatile than Taylor. His skills are definately above decent.

    holt, peterson, and witter. not top fighters. campbell is old and it was ruled a nc. no w for bradley. witter quit in his last fight. those guys are not top fighters. taylor was the undisputed mw champ of the world.
