    He's good, not great but real solid. I think I'd pick him to beat Hatton at this point.

    I would still pick Hatton, at this point, but I can see him giving Ricky some problems. Bradley bangs pretty good to the body, and Ricky doesn't like that too much. It's certainly a fight I would want to see, but I doubt Ricky would take it at this point. Maybe. I wouldn't mind seeing him in against Paulie. I would give him a shot in that one.

    I would say he is a decent solid fighter with a decent chin, decent power, along with decent boxing skills but do you notice something about my wording ? *Decent* and thats all i see in him nothing stands out about him but i wish him luck he sounds like a nice guy but i honestly don't see anything elite in him.

    Bradley does appear to be a decent fighter, the division is weak though.

    He could be a top fighter in the division in a few years.

    At the moment he still appears to be a bit green to me still.

    I would rate his handspeed a bit better than decent. His jab, both crispness and timing, appear to be B+/A- especially considering he is young and not tall. It's not that common to see a fighter with that build develop that kind of jab and commit to it the way he does. He also times the right hand very well.

    We know his chin is decent, but it could be great, we just won't know until he's in with a bigger hitter. Cherry is an OK puncher, but he's not a true hard hitting LWW, so until I see him take one flush from Hatton or Torres, I can't rate him with a great chin.

    I don't see this guy being a GOAT, but considering he had stones to go to England, to Witter's backyard, when he's not a KO puncher, probably for short money, says something to me. If Witter, Froch and whol bunch of others who claim that nobody will fight them had enough confidence to take that kind of risk and go on the road, they wouldn't be crying about getting getting ducked. This only matters because sometimes a fighter who is "decent" across the board can become a step above based on intangibles. Bradley seems to have some of these.

    He has earned respect.A solid work horse with nice hand speed,good movement ,gives seemingly everything he has in the ring ,a humble professional attitude and he does not suffer from Illusions af grandture....I like him and he can fight, he has room to grow and mature also.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Bradley face Kotelnik. That's a good match up IMO

    Nice fighter, but the fight didn't entertain me.

    He's a good worker and very strong, seems he's got a good chin too.
