But I'd answer that way about all but maybe 6-7 fighters active today. So it isn't an insult.
He is undefeated and considered as a division king, there must be something special working for him?
NOBODY is king at 140.

No, there doesn't need to be anything special. It speaks to the level of overall competition. He doesn't need to be "special" to win today, just better than good.

What allows Bradley to win? His determination, fitness and mental tenacity are as important as anything else. But are any of those three as impressive as a prime Evander Holyfield or Salvador Sanchez or Joe Frazier who proved those traits against HOF quality guys? In my view THAT is what is takes to be "special."

The best answer is probably "Not yet."
