Timmothy Bradley somewhat reminds me of a younger Hopkins.

I like Bradley and he seems to be on OK kid, but he still has a lot to learn with his technique. Not to mention the Karma that follows Gary Shaw will soon catch up to him.
    Nate's shoulder roll impression was by far the worst I have seen. He couldn't roll ****, and was getting busted up while he tried to do it, hence why he tried to use a high guard after and proceeded to quit.

      Hopkins was dropped 2 times by Mercado and came away with a draw (Although, he clearly won), Bradley was dropped 2 times by Holt and came away with a win... so, yeah. I haven't thought of this comparrison though, I'm gunna re-watch some Bradley fights (If I can get my hands on them) and have a look...

          I don't really credit what Mercado did to B-Hop in the 1st fight. Alot wen't on, armed soilders kicking down doors, the altitude and B-Hop felt, had he won, he wouldn't have been able to leave alive. Honestly, you know you won a fight when you get dropped twice, fight in the opponent's backyard and come out with a draw

            It just became apparent to me that either A) you don't know a thing about boxing or B) because you watched a choppy stream of the fight on the net, the punches that appeared to you to land, didn't.

              Disagree, there was alot more to it. While Bradley clearly won, Holt put in some rounds including the 2 KD's.

                No doubt. I'm just saying, yeah Bradley got dropped twice, but so did Hopkins early in his career.

                  It's funny how scrubs question peoples logic. Go **** yourself.

                    The only comparison that can be made is his flagrant use of headbutts as a weapon.

                      Flagrant? Nate cut him self from dipping down into Bradley's head after a body shot.
