Juan Manuel Marquez vs Timothy Bradley
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
Two good wins in a division that isn't DOA, knock out artist and champ. Come on man, you know deep down Stevenson should be ranked. Then you talk about BHOP and him not being able to fight, but in August BHOP was calling him out and trying to make something happen (HBO shooting it down happened in like June or July.) And I don't know if I would rank Chambers over Dawson or Cloud. Maybe Cloud, but not Dawson. But still, those guys are in a weak division and it's a almost a case of bums fighting bums. The fact that you have like one or two guys is something but these heavies aren't the cream of the crop and, because they aren't, I can't say they deserve to be placed on P4P lists.
The fact Wlad was even on your list shows you need to come to Jesus.

Wlad was on everyone's list. Chambers is better than Cloud not Dawson but it's still 5-6 good recent wins versus two. If Klitschko didn't exist I'm sure David Haye would be king or Povetkin.
At the end of the day Stevenson has two good wins, that's it. He's a tiny step above Kovalev who also has two good wins difference is Stevenson beat the lineal title holder in Dawson. So they both have a bit more work to do before cracking the top ten.
It's like people who rank Broner top ten based on a couple of decent wins. Too soon. You gotta have some GREAT wins if you want to crack the top ten quick.

The Oct. 12 welterweight bout in Las Vegas between Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez sold 375,000 pay-per-view units, Top Rank president Todd duBoef said.
The bout, which the undefeated Bradley won by split decision, was the first pay-per-view after the massive Sept. 14 bout between Floyd Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez. That bout sold 2.2 million pay-per-views and seemed to take some of the steam out of the local boxing scene for a few weeks after.
But the fight turned a profit, with a break-even point of roughly 350,000, according to Top Rank chairman Bob Arum.
Bradley manager Cameron Dunkin was pleased with the number.
"I'm very, very happy with that," he said. "Going in, I thought it would do 250, maybe 300. Those wouldn't have been bad numbers, either. But this is a very solid number and I'm glad to hear it did so well."
Neither man has plans for his next fight. Dunkin said Bradley is interested in fighting a rematch with Manny Pacquiao, but the fate of that bout likely will rest on the result of Pacquiao's Nov. 23 bout against Brandon Rios in Macau, China.
Marquez, 40, has not committed to fighting again, but it likely to try at least one more bout. He was attempting to become the first Mexican-born boxer to win a major world title in five weight classes
