    Fair Enough .

    I personally feel Bradley has what it takes to beat DSG .

    Although if the fight is too close , DSG would very likely escape with a controversial decision .

    DSG is very lucky with the judges when it comes to close fights .

    Timmy is fairly ranked. Guy is tuff az sh*t and can hang with any elite in or around his weight. Pretty much all his fights have been fun to watch.

    Talk about ultimate warrior. Game as they come. I think most thought he lost to Chaves though.

    Agreed .

    Although Bradley can make things hard for himself if he fights wildly like he did against Chaves .

    DSG would counter him all night long .

    If the Bradley that fought Pac in the third fight shows up .

    Garcia can kiss his "0" goodbye .

    Do we ever get to see Bradley vs Khan? Good fight. Bradley w/ hardly any power against a glass chined speedster. Thats a fight!

    Bradley is legit. A slick guy who mixed it up when he didn't have to to give fans some action. People need to stop crying about the first Pacquiao fight. It was a close fight. All you *******s who were butt hurt and asking people to watch the Pac vs Mayweather fight in slow motion are hypocrites. Because if you watch the first Bradley vs Pacquiao fight in slow motion, it wasn't a robbery. Bradley has one of the better resumes out there.

    I have him at no. 2 welter until Pacquiao retires. Not overrated in any way.

    Bradley vs Canelo at 154 is a better fight than Khan was.

    I think he may now be on the slide to be honest but he still has one of the best resumes in the sport right now. Alright the guy effectively lost to Pac 3 times but there's 0 shame in that and i think it's just one of those match-ups where Pac just has his number. He seems a really nice guy too, which is always a welcome addition to a fighter

    Also, LOL at anyone calling Bradley "feather-fisted". He had Marquez, Alexander, & Pacquiao (3rd fight) all on ice skates with left hooks.

    Ruslan Provodnikov was probably more hurt by Bradley's punches than the punches of any other fighter he's faced in his pro career. Provodnikov's trainer was even considering stopping the fight after the 10th round. Just to put that into perspective, Provodnikov went 12 rounds with both Lucas Matthysse & John Molina Jr. and was never seriously hurt by either.

    So the bigger question is - why did Floyd Ducked him then ?

    I think he's a bit overrated at 147, as people have simply regarded him as top 3 in the division by default for what feels like a long time now when his only real notable win there is Marquez. Of course, that also speaks to how little Haymon's guys have done over that time period as well, but I think the notion that it doesn't matter that Bradley has been taking on Top Rank's underwhelming stable int he division because he'd beat everyone else there anyway is too strong of an assumption.
