For the one you pick, list what they have done to deserve being in the top 10 p4p.
My pick is Desert Storm. Let's put one thing to rest, Broner is NOT top ten.
Is he top ten MATERIAL? Yes, but his resume doens't come close to constituting a top ten spot IMO. Compare his wins to B-Hop or Bradley and they don't stack up at all.
It's gotta be Bradley or B-Hop. Bradley is undefeated, and has beat a number of really good fighters. With the exception of Khan, he cleaned out junior-welterweight back when he was there.
Timmy's resume includes the likes of Abregu, Alexander, Peterson, Campbell, Witter, Provodnikov, Holt, and Miguel Vazquez. He's got some other solid wins, like Edner Cherry and he's one of only two guys to ever stop Joel Casamayor (the other being JMM).
He had the "win" against Pacquiao, but I can't knock his rating for that fight, especially considering he officially got the "win". I wouldn't put him up further, but I wouldn't penalize hiim for it either.
As for B-Hop, he's fought a who's who of elite fighters. I think the fact that he schooled Pavlik, and beat THE light-heavyweight champ (at the time) in Pascal twice were great wins. The first Pascal fight was a draw, but we all know Bernard deserved the nod in that one.
The win over Cloud was also very good, but in the middle of all that Dawson completely owned him in a non-competitive fight.
I think Bradley deserves to be higher than both Broner and B-Hop right now. He's technically undefeated, and unlike B-Hop, hasn't lost here or there in the past few years.
Most worthy (in my order) would be Timmy, Hopkins, and then Broner.
I'd say Tim Bradley is the most deserving of the spot, followed by B-hop. Tim is in his prime, he fought and lost to Pacquiao, it's not his fault the Judges can't score a bout to save their lives but he showed just how willing he is to exchange with the most lethal fighter out there. He showed his quality again in that fight with Provodnikov last week.
B-hop is fighting smart, picking out champions he can beat and making the most out of his whole age thing. Not that he isn't properly outsmarting and beating these guys but we've seen how he Dawson handled him so I'm not sure about his p4p standing.
I'm not sure what talking trash, selling overpriced combs at ppv events and getting arrest for biting people has to do with p4p rankings but in the ring Broner, who may one day be in the top, has currently not fought anyone worthy of putting him on that list.
Ok..if we are talking about a current top 10, we have to look at what the fighters have done in the last year. Bradley has been very inactive. He has maintained his undefeated status by winning a fight most felt he lost against Pacquiao, which is what got him in the conversation. Then he followed that by being inactive and struggling to a 1 point survival vs. Ruslan Provodnikov...who no one would consider pound for pound material. Broner has been very active and is destroying everyone he fights. He has held titles in 2 weight classes and maintained his unbeaten status with flare and KOs. He us beating the best at his weight to the point that people are pressuring him to move up in weight. Hopkins deserves a medal for what he's doing at this age, but let's be clear...he isn't doing this against the best...when he fought Dawson the best at 175...he got schooled. He was fortunate to find a raw titleholder like Cloud.
Of these 3 Broner is most deserving.
Tough one between B-Hop and Broner. Bradley hasn't done anything except defend his World Title against Ruslan Provodnikov whom most of us don't know. I'll probably give B-Hop the edge since he just won the IBF World Title from Tavoris Cloud breaking his record once again as the oldest World Champion in boxing history.
tim fought wars....bradley was active but hey, who did he fight?...b-hop, too old so he fights bums...
bradley was less active after the pac fight...but hey, aint floyd less active too?
bhop
which one of the three is the most worthy?
