    Witter and alexander are not good examples. Witter lost to Alexander who pretty much lost to Kotelnik who khan beat. Holt lost to Mabuza who is nothing special.
    The only one you can hold over his head is Peterson. But that was such a close fight with Peterson winning with DQ points, you can not call that an easy victory.
    Saying that I would still class Bradley at the top of the devision as he is undefeated and has won the majority of his fights easily. I think people only question his legitimacy because he avoided Khan.
    Think he is the best fight after Mayweather. Him or Martinez anyway.
    you're thinking of the wrong Peterson, Anthony Peterson was the one who was winning the fight and then got himself DQ'd against Rios, Lamont Peterson got his ass handed to him for nearly every round against Bradley, it was a shutout, and if you wanna play the game of disregarding Bradley's wins over Holt and Alexander well, Bradley pretty much dominated his opponents while Khan escaped by the skin of his teeth against Maidana and Peterson, beat Judah who just had been given a gift against Mattyhsse, and against Malignaggi who's biggest win was a rematch against a lightweight, overall Bradley's opponents hold more weight than Khan's

    I think his recent lack of activity is what is playing against him. He is slacking out when he should be stepping it up.

    I've always been a Bradley fan, but I'm a little let down by his recent antics.

    You would have to be considering bradley as p4p top 5 before you could consider him as overrated. The only flaws i see in him is a) when he gets overly aggressive, he seems to some times door from the hip and b) he definitely doesn't like it to the gut... Was showing clear distress signs against peterson imo.

    Hardly what Peterson was doing to Khan though and a straightforward win for Bradley. Perhaps Peterson is a tad underrated considering his khan and Ortiz fights.

    I dont know why I put DQ in there. I was refering to the khan fight where the ref took two points off khan. My mistake.
    Alexander was also given a gift against Mattyhsse. There is not a lot of difference in there opponents.
    You were the one dissregarding Khans opponents, whrere as if you look at the people they fought there is not alot of difference. The people they have fought have all had there losses to one another, so you cant claim that Bradley has fought harder opponents. As far as Bradley beating Peterson easier and having easier wins over all. I stated that in my first post and that is why I said I would still put Bradley at the top.
    Just that other people may have had Khan above him because Bradley avoided him.
    Being a Bradley fan as well as a Khan fan I was dissapointed when Bradley did not have a better excuse for not fighting Khan, would have been a good fight. Seems he was not confident about fighting him as he could lose his chance to fight Pac or Mayweather.
