Can't stand the hate Bradley is getting

[hookoutofhell]

i personally love bradley. I think hes fantastic for the sport as he turns up in shape, is always willing to mix it with his opponent and he has some solid skills.

i know he gets alot of hate from *******s and khanut-huggers but imo its unwarranted. he had no influence in the boxing judges robbing pacman and i think its fairly clear that he wan't ducking King Con.

I actually think Khans team exploited the situation bradley was in - they made him an offer when they knew he would refuse it due to promotional/legal struggles. besides khan wasn't really chasing bradley at all because if he was then as soon as bradley signed with TR khan should have been knocking on the door. i still think the fight between khan and bradley will be made.

bradley is a slick fighter but imo his lack of knockout power and his general persona means that he will struggle to break into the mainstream.

I like Bradley in the ring as a fighter. It is his big mouth, his constant bragging, his arrogance and his disrespect of other fighters that make me dislike him and hope he gets beat. I also don't like the way he played up the foot injuries. Perhaps he did hurt his ankles but to say he was crippled does not ring true. He was moving around the ring way to well the whole 12 rounds for me to believe he had two broke feet or serious injury. Anyone can sit in a wheel chair and come to the post fight saying how much better he would have done without being crippled. No fighter you can name is on boxing scene as often as Bradley and it is always to brag on himself an insult other fighters. He cried like a baby when he did not get the Pacquiao rematch and tried to insult Pacquiao into changing his mind.I hope this explains why I don't like Bradley. In the ring he fights with courage, skill, determination and great conditioning so it's the outside the ring Bradley I dislike.

He really doesn't deserve the amount of hate he receives.

I wish him nothing but failure in his career.

I wish him well as he's one of the good guys but he tried to be someone he wasn't after the Pacquiao gift. Should have just been himself and called it how it is.

Bradley gets hated on because of his attitude. He's not responsible for the decision but look at all the trash he's been talking since then : "Pacquiao is scared of me" "I'll beat him easier in a rematch" a guy who got a gift decision has the nerve to talk like that, how do you expect the fans to react?

It's one thing to be cocky outside the ring and back it up inside the ring like Floyd, it's another to be cocky when 90% of the boxing world knows you got an undeserved victory.

Weather you felt Bradley got a gift or not,he holds a victory over Pac..I don't believe for a sec that Bradley in his heart believes he lost..I also don't believe Pac in his heart feels he dominated Bradley...Pac should have wanted to right the ship if he truly felt he won..Instead he goes off to fight a fighter he beat twice...Yet everyone is fine with it..I don't know when this kinda thinking became cool..Yea I lost but as long as everyone(which means nothing in the bigger picture)thinks I won??What part of the game is that??

I'm a Pac fan and was very disappointed in this way of thinking..Bradley looked like he felt he won when the final bell was rung..He put up his hands to Pac as to say,ya I got you...Pac did not even look confident at fights end...I don't give a damn who thinks what,Bradley holds a victory over Pac and Pac did not want to right the ship..Bradley can say whatever he wants in my book...

But I see some more knowledgeable, less nut-hugging boxing fans saying the same stuff

Name 1 fighter in history that gave back a robbed title... Name 1 fighter in history that publicly stated (during his career) that he really lost a fight when he received the victory...

Now ask yourselves why Bradley is more interested in a rematch than Pacquiao... Money?? Sure, but you don't see Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Hatton, or any of those guys asking for a rematch... What's keeping them from wanting to collect another big Pacquiao check?? Clottey in particular barely got hit and has no chance of making any where near a Pacquiao-payday without Pac, so why would he fear a rematch when he already knows that he can just cover up the whole time, survive, and send his check to the bank the next night??

And fact is, and I'm on record saying this before the fight, Bradley had done nothing to earn the Pacquiao fight and nothing to prove he even had a chance to win... His best wins at the time were Peterson and Alexander whom I didn't realize were measuring sticks for Pacquiao. Even the prefight tune-up he had against Casamayor?? Why was anyone even excited about the fight??

And yet, Bradley went the distance on 2 broken feet, left the ring without a mark on his face (and achieved that without running or hiding, ala Cotto and Clottey)... And managed to win the Championship rounds (If u didn't score round 10 and round 12 for Bradley, you're a retard plain and simple... Those rounds weren't even close)

And I highly doubt Bradley's camp had enough pull to influence the judges.. If anyone would be to blame for paying off judges, it would have to have been Arum, so why would u blame Bradley for that? And basically,

So...:

1. Why does Bradley have to live in all the hate?
2. Why does he suddenly suck after losing to the best fighter in the world?
3. How does getting beat up by Pacquiao mean he'd lose to completely different styles of fighters like Marquez, Guerrero, Berto (I even saw a Devon Alexander who he already dominated)?

Seriously, I wanna know what u people are thinking... Hell, I'm willing to listen if u can manage a good enough argument, I'll give u green K

its more lack of interest in him than hate - he's acting like he got a legit win over pac and thinks he should be treated as such when everybody knows he got beat and by rights he should look at fighting the likes of garcia/maidena or even kahn before being entitled to a rematch with pac or a shot a floyd etc. Just because he got a gift decision thanks to corrupt judges doesn't mean everybody should just accept it. He got beat by pac and he needs a win over a ranked contender before being entitled to another big pay day.

If you can't show the lost on his rec,I'd say your just talking out ya azz..Come back to reality..Bradley holds a win over Pac weather you like it or not...I agree since Pac has moved on Bradley should fight a Guerrero Berto Garcia etc etc...But not because he has to to get a crack at Pac or May,but because they may be his only choices at the moment...But make no mistake,he has a win over Pac,Pac should be the one wanting to right the wrongs..Bradley gave him every chance to,and Pac did not want any...Those are facts that I know...

guy asked a question, i gave him the correct answer - thats why people don't like/don't care about bradley, whether u like the answer or not doesn't really matter that's just the way it is.

You gave a shhit answer tbh,and it sounds like your on personal opinion of the guy...I would say Bradley was not liked even before this fight with Pac..So to say it had anything to do with Pac is rubbish..I have threads and there are threads on this site to prove Bradley was not like/hated before the Pac fight...So sorry I don't believe you gave the correct answer at all...

Bradley was not liked/and will never be liked...But what he will do is win...
