    @147. Two very tough guys who weren’t the fastest or most powerful punchers but had a rock solid chin. Who ends up out hustling the other? Palomino has the edge in body punching while Bradley is more athletically gifted and the better boxer.

    Palomimo would beat the Hell outta Bradley at 147. Timmy's very overrated at welter. His whole claim to fame at that weight was outboxing an ancient Marquez. Other than that he did nothing but lose to Pac thrice, go life and death with Provo, and nearly got stopped by bum ass Jesse Vargas.

    Bradley was very good at 140, but at 147 there are many, many, many, many welters in history who would beat him.

    If its a 15 rounder, Palomimo gets him outta there late.

    Palomino is a different caliber fighter, especially at 147. Way too good for Bradley.
