Bradley ready for Abregu, the welterweights
Is this a good move? Too soon maybe I was wishing Devon Alexander or Amir Khan to fight him first.

I think he will eventually fight Khan or Alexander. I think this fight at 147 is to try at set him up for bigger and better things.
I don't see the problems Alexander and Khan present for Bradley that I used too. Sure they are faster, but Alexander isn't an offensive monster, nor does he have very good defensive skills. I think Bradley, assuming he doesn't get wild would be quite effective against Alexander. Against Khan I just think that Khan doesn't have enough substance to his game, like Andre Dirrell against Froch, he seems unbalanced and relies on speed and in and out movement to win fights, but I would be surprised if those two things alone could beat a guy as good as Bradley who is difficult to hit, is usually in balance except when he throws wildly, and has excellent timing. That being said Khan's speed if he keeps the distance effectively could win out if Bradley can never find his range, but like I said he is excellent at any distance.
Bradley going to 147 is just a moronic move.
Alexander isn't a monster puncher, but he did land a monster punch on a guy way easier to hit than Bradley. Also to people who say Bradley doesn't do anything great? Well he boxes great. Isn't that what Hagler did? As a total package Bradley has very good skills in every respect, and I doubt they would put him in with tall welterweights, but look at the top of the WW division Mayweather, Mosley(if he doesn't retire), Cotto(for the right fight), PAcquiao, and Berto. None of them are exceptionally tall, and the tallest of them which is Mosley doesn't really use his height to an advantage. Bradley would be looking to an inch or inch and and a half disadvantage against tallest of these guys.
I agree I think this is just to get some added face time on TV and get his name in the mainstream a bit more...He is the man at 140 right now in the eyes of most but 140 is at the moment an unrecognizable division except for thos who are true fans of the sport...After Hatton left and Manny basically campaigning everywhere he can manage to make weight at the JWW's have been a bit neglected media wise.
Bradley will move back to 140...147 is not the place for him at 5'6" he will struggle for sure w the bigger WW's
If Bradley gets knocked down by Holt at 140, then Abregu starches him if he trades atall IMO. Bad move. High risk fight I think, prob not much to gain from beating Abregu thats for sure.. Although he was in one of my fav fights of 09 against Garcia, who will hopefully test Mike Jones well in a couple of weeks....
Can't bring myself to like Bradley anyway, just don't think he's great at anything, just does everything well..... Plus the moustache.... Not for me...
