"I want the big dogs. I want the winner of Hatton and Pacquiao, definitely. If I can’t get them, I want (Juan Manuel) Marquez. I want to be the star of the (140 lb) division" -Timothy Bradley
Bradley wasn't even that impressive when he fought Holt.
I'm don't usually do this but am I the only one who thinks that he does not stand a chance against Pac or JMM?
Just think about it. Bradley against Pacquiao...if Holt knocked Bradley down twice, what do you think Paco will do to him?
pac's power is untested at 140. also bradley has incredible conditioning. I don't see a pac KO of bradley as automatic. pac definitely will outspeed bradley though and also bradley has no defense for the jab... he's gonna have to work on that because pac will throw the left cross behind the jab.
JMM? With his boxing skills? Yo, he'd box the fcuk outta Bradley. I'm not takin anything away from Bradley, alls i'm sayin is that he's got a lot of room to improve and develop himself as a fighter?
i pretty much agree. jmm could outbox bradley but bradley would be a really tough fight for jmm.
Why rush and force the issue to box super tough opponents for the sake of fame and fortune when he barely walked away with a "W" against Holt.
Isn't that fair to say?
I don't think you're being fair to bradley.
I thought bradley won every round but the ones he got knocked down in (the 1st and 12th); and bradley took those shots easily. olt".
that's not "barely walking away with a 'W'".
that said, if holt gets a rematch and increases his activity and jabs a lot more I can see holt beating bradley.

I understand why he wants the fight$$$$$, But i dont understand why he wants to get ktfo! I think he loses to Pac and JMM easily, i see a lil more competitive fight with Hatton (only cause of their similar styles) but eventually Hatton will put him away too.........
I think at this point of his career, both of them would whoop on him.
It's crazy how people make a big deal out of a small victory. Bradley is good, but he's in no position to start making challenges to the elite. Tim is only 25; that's hella young, he's got a lot of room to grow and develop as a fighter.
ummm.... co sign? lol
actually i don't see either knocking bradley down. holt is a big puncher at 140...
pac can outspeed bradley leading to a possible tKO, but bradley's conditioning will probably keep him from getting tKO.
jmm can outbox bradley, but he can't hurt bradley even w/ combination punching
bradley's not gonna get pac but he might get jmm. if jmm doesn't get floyd, he might fight bradley to grab belts to entice pac into giving jmm the rubbermatch
i think bradley has a chance to beat either manny or jmm.
i mean neither of the 2 has yet to fight at 140 and both has a combined 4 fights above super featherweight.
that said......wanting and getting are two different things.
he can want them all he wants (so does everyone between featherweight to welterweight. bradley is not alone in wanting a fight with jmm and pac.) , he's not getting a fight with either.
jmm and pac has bigger fish to fry.
True... has a chance but will fall short of being victorious... If Holt can knock him down twice I think Manny and JMM will do it more... much more.

haha if he beats the pacman i think he should fight bradley next....because they kept saying on showtime...that bradley sees himself as a smaller floyd....if hatton pulled off the upset i think he should fight bradley
wow!... I also thought so while watching Bradley fight Holt.
I see a bit of resemblance of his movements to Floyd... but not as refined as Floyd... Bradley is a sloppier...reckless version of Floyd.
Maybe because Bradley is trying to emulate Floyd. :dunno:
Hatton should fight Bradley if he loses to Pacman
haha if he beats the pacman i think he should fight bradley next....because they kept saying on showtime...that bradley sees himself as a smaller floyd....if hatton pulled off the upset i think he should fight bradley
How is Hatton to big for Bradley???
I'm sorry I meant smaller...not too small. Bradley is 5'6... Hatton is 5'7½,
what's crazy is Hatton's reach is only 165cm compared too Bradley's 175cm reach.
Pacman at the height of 5'6½ has a 170cm reach
JMM's height is 5'7 with the same reach as Pacman's, 170cm.
First of all Hatton is actually bigger than Floyd. He outweighed PBF by 10 pounds. But that is a different story
Holt barely pressured, maybe at the 12th round and a few rounds.
Bradley would feel more comfortable fighting Hatton because Hatton doesn’t have a reach. And would be able to trafde with him
i agree with some of that...hatton and bradley to me fight similar from what i saw....so to me the best fight out those 4 guys....would be bradley and hatton....i think it would be the best imo

It's true, he seems like your competent fit better than average boxer but really being dropped twice vs Holt is bad. Also he doesn't seem to have much power which means he's doomed to stay at 140 unless something dramatic happens. At best he can be a good name on someone else's record like Lacy prior to his first defeat. Being ripped as he gets also means he kills himself to make the weight he needs to, which means that in a couple years he should be moving to welter where he will be ripped apart by way bigger fish, unless he suddenly develops some mean power. I don't see him doing too well.
Bradley had troubles with Holt’s reach and jab abit. Hatton’s inside fighting is overrated; he got outboxed on the inside by PBF. Also he wouldn’t be able to bully Bradley that easy. The man is a tank
i think bradley has great skills, and great body puncher.....but floyd was bigger then hatton and had a better defense then anybody hatton has faced.....hatton's bread and butter at 140 is pressure.....but you could see that when holt pressed bradley,...bradley backs off.....and hatton will be in his face all night...bradley couldnt handle it
How is Hatton to big for Bradley???
hatton is the best fighter at fighting inside at 140......hatton bullies him all night and abuses him....and maybe gets a few kd's as well...when holt when on the attack and didnt back off....bradley had problems
And I believe Bradley is too small for Hatton.
i think pac ko's him...and jmm wins by wide UD or late ko....they need to pull back on this kid, or the big dogs could really ruin him
Understandably so. From the economics point of view, Bradley (or Valero or anyone with recent wins) would want the big name fights with Pac, JMM, or Hatton because if they got that fight it would be the biggest payday they will have to date. They're not really deserving of the fight, imo, nor will they have a chance in beating them. These big names have nothing else to prove considering the number of fights they have left and they will most likely fight amongst themselves for the guaranteed bigger purse.
