    Shane has a lot of people fooled with his win over Margo who was made to order for him. You must remember this is the same Mosley who went life and death with Mayorga and I had losing until the last second KO. Shane will always have trouble with boxers like PBF because they won't stand in front of him. Shane needs someone who will stand in front of him in order to be succusseful and PBF wouldn't be there. Hell Cotto outboxed Mosley when he used movement and a jab and Mosley had no answer for it Shane at this point is nothing more than a flat footed slugger with no jab, good handspeed, he can't adjust and doesn't have a plan B. Not only that despite having a great chin he has **** poor defense and is wide open. PBF would box circles around Shane in a fight in which he would stay on his bike and frustrate Mosley and shut him out.

    Its possible, tho my money wud be on Pac. IMO Bradleys an easier fight 4 Floyd than Pac or Mosely because he doesn't have the power to KO him & he sure aint gonna outbox him. Pac & Moselys speed & Power give them @ LEAST a punchers chance. Plus they're more experienced against better comp.

    That's because you can't recognize talent if it bit you in the ****ing face.:deal If you can't see the development in Bradley then you need to find a new sport. The guy is light years better now than he was against Witter or even Holt. Bradley now is a complete fighter and one of the best in the sport today. Although I would pick PBF to win it wouldn't be a cake walk Bradley is too good to be shut out even by a talent as good as PBF.

    I agree but Bradley is susceptible to the uppercut, which I'm sure Floyd will see, whereas Mosley can be outboxed but isnt really open to just one punch. Bigger guy than Bradley, longer reach, and more pop but I do think Desert Storm is more versatile though.

    Pac and Shane are also more one-dimensional than Bradley. They don't have a jab nor the defense that he does they are pure offense fighters and not thinking man's fighters. PBF could stay on his bike against Pac or Shane and shut both out. He can't do that to Bradley because he has better footwork than both and a better jab and has a plan a, b and c.

    So base on talent alone and not actualy displaying it in the ring you put him in your p4p top 10. He hasn't fought any opposition to even be mentioned in P4P top 10 status. This is the idiocracy from you. Anything PBF fight is a world better. Bradley is now a complete fighter? One of the best in boxing? Your a ****ing fool.

    These Top Welterweights suck. I would fight Bradley, he's taken out most of the top guys in his division, who from 147 has done that? 140 is more loaded than 147, and he is the top guy down there without a doubt. Who from 147 has done that? Paul Williams couldn't defend once without losing. Neither could Clottey. Same thing is about to happen to Mosley. Cotto hasn't beaten a champion for a belt, and we all know its harder for the challenger to win a decision over someone who has a belt. That's why Mosley & Clottey both lost to Cotto... had he have to fight either of them for a belt, he would have lost both fights... Who is a dominant force at 147? There is none. I would fight Bradley too, all of today's 140 fighters will be at 147 someday anyways in the future, *****s need to stop acting gay and get over it. Bradley looks BIGGER than Mayweather in weight anyways.

    Not a fool. I know real talent when I see it and Bradley is the real deal. The guy has a good resume for a young fighter. Holt, Witter, Campbell and Peterson are all good fighters and some of the best in the 140 pound division has to offer. His resume is fine and he has proven his worth against legit opposition. I'm sure you probably don't rate Dawosn that highly either and say dumb **** like who has he beaten as well? The guy is just as skilled as Bradley is and equally underrated.

    Why do you keep bringing up Dawson. This is not about Dawson. As for Dawson, I think he is one of the top guy at his weight that no one wants to fight.

    No one is questioning Bradley's talent. But he is not top 10 P4P. Not even close. He is one of the best at 140 but he is not anywhere near the talent that will give PBF fits. Skill wise he is not there yet. Just like my prediction for the JMM fight, PBF will make Bradley look like a sparring partner. Mark this down and bump it if this fight gets made and if Bradley wins more then 2 rnds.

    Bradley is the best 140.

    If Flloyd fights him at that weight, i will give him all possible props.
    At 147 its BS.

    I agree.

    Bradley is a good little fighter, but I don't see anything from him that warrants the amount of hype he's been getting lately. He barely scraped by Witter and Holt. I could only imagine would Mayweather would do to him.

    Holt was giving him a boxing lesson and knocked him down twice but that guy is a mental midget sort of like Judah. To even give PBF a run for his money you have to have a good punch, volume and physical size advantage. Little guys like Bradley, Malignaggi, Hatton, JMM with no real pop will never get the job done. Mayweather could stick out his chin and pull a Mayorga with these guys and get away with it.

    If Floyd doesn't fight a legitimate welterweight like Cintron, Quintana, Collazo or Paul Williams he's a straight up ***** especially since Pacquiao is fighting a large, strong and difficult fighter in Clottey.
