    This shouldnt even be close. but true to form people are blinded by things other then what a fighter has done in the ring. Bradley has done tons more then AA and vs better fighters.

    I like Abraham a great deal, but for those who couldn't see just how flatfooted and potentially limited he was against Taylor, I don't know what to tell you. Bradley is clearly superior in my view. There won't be much question about this at some point.

    What exactly has Bradley done more of than Abraham? Also, it's not like Bradley has beaten world beaters, they both have decent resumes, but nothing great. I like Bradley and when their careers are over I wouldn't be surprised if Bradley will be the greater fighter of the two, but right now I would say Abraham has done a bit more.

    Isnt P4P, the guy who can achieve the same amount of success moving up/down in weight?

    In that case id say Abraham, but ONLY because, Bradley has not moved up in weight (to my knowledge)
    AA moved from his weight to SMW and fought Dirrell, Froch and Ward

    and was badly outclassed by all three. The only decent smw he beat was taylor who himself moved up from mw. Bradley moved up to ww for a fight and won, but regardless simply moving up don't mean **** if you aren't effective.

    And in fact Bradley has moved up before. Still undefeated.

    How much can change in the sport of boxing.

    Although to be fair, Abraham has dropped off whereas Bradley has proved his superior resiliency and beaten Devon Alexander.

    Not at all, Azz. That's not what it means at all. Why would you think guys like Ali and Louis are rated well in p4p ATG lists? Hagler? They didn't move anywhere. P4P, in no way, shape, or form depends on changing weight classes, let alone doing so without much success. Why do you think Andre Ward is on the current Ring-ranked P4P list? Wladimir? What weight classes are they changing to?
