Aside from speed and youth I don't knoiw what people see on Bradley. He has no power, his punches are wide, and he has poor defense. One of the most overrated boxers today.
Just because he doesn't knock guys cold out doesn't mean he has no power... go look back at his last 7 fights, he's hurt or knocked down the majority of them. He has good speed, good timing, his defense actually isn't poor because he uses excellent lateral movement. There isn't a time where he isn't slipping from one side to the other, constantly giving the opponent different looks. He also has an incredible drive to win.. he doesn't get discouraged.
The shot that Holt hit him with would of knocked out almost anyone in the division, Bradley bounced right back up and continued the gameplan.. there is a lot to be said for that.
Judging by your post, you are actually underrating him.
There are reports today that Amir Khan will not be fighting Timothy Bradley on July 23. Bradley is apparently considering signing with Top Rank. Bradley is one of three possible opponents for a mega fight against eight-time world champion Manny Pacquiao this November.
After the fight on Saturday between Pacquiao and Shane Mosley, Bob Arum mentioned Juan Manuel Marquez, Zab Judah and Bradley.

Good post, I like everything I've seen from Bradley so far.
Another opponent that will build up Pacquiao's legacy!!! A highly unskilled fighter that is way overrated with little power but he's young, fast, and is undefeated.
Common dickheads, before the Mosley fight all of you were complaining of Manny fighting just old and washed up fighters, even though we all know that these washed up has beens can easily whooped the younger undefeated guys like Berto! So now that he is lining up a young undefeated Bradley as a November opponent you are all still butt hurt about it??!!! WTF is That??!!! Why don't we all just sit back and enjoy the show!!!!!
