How long will Tim Bradley be in Witness protection program?

This guy has gone missing for a long time. I remember someone saying that Tim fears for his life and even his trainer Joel Diaz said the people in his own city were giving them dirty looks when they came back and even sending him death threats because of the Pacquiao fight. If you read the twitter after the Bradley fight, so many people were mad at Bradley, not just Filipinos but the majority of people who were sending violent tweets to Bradley and his trainer were other races of Pacquiao fans mainly in America who were sending death threats after the fight. I still remember Busta Rhymes tweet really attacking Bradley like he was a murderer lol, and Andre Ward was so pissed saying Bradley should be ashamed and give his belt back right now lol. I was wondering does boxing have the worst fan base? Why is everyone so angry at Tim Bradley? The man had no say in the decision, it is the judges who scored the fight. What is he supposed to do say he lost and give the belt back like Andre Ward told him to do? Yet they blame him and his trainer. Its not just this fight either, but it seems in general anytime a fight doesn't go the way of the majority view, they attack the fighter who got the gift instead of the judging.

i dont think many people have a desire to see him after he was given a gift of a decision. I didnt really mind that but when i saw him acting so arrogant in videos after the decision like he definitively won every round i lost any desire to see him fight again besides the fact hes indirectly admitted in ways that pacquiao beating him such as him saying rios should have to face him before he fights a guy like pacquiao. his undeserved since of accomplishment is annoying to me if he was more humble id want to give him more attention

29 have tried, 29 have failed. Pac knew what would happen in a rematch, so he went back to familiar territory. Nacho knows what would happen to JMM, Arum knows what would happen to Rios, Garcia is gonna get beaten by Judah, and Khan is trying to fight Hatton's brother or something. 29 have tried, 28 failed, 1 got robbed. Don't act like a kid about it. I'm not about to put my opinions in the hands of corrupt and/or retarded boxing judges.

He ****ed up Arum's December 15th HBO event at Marlins Stadium and now he's paying the price. I doubt he gets any big money fights in 2013. I can see him fighting Mike Jones next. He was offered 2 million to fight Peterson but rejected it... he makes some bad choices by waiting too long. He got paid vs Pac but lost lots of his 5 fans. 3 remain.

Man Marquez won more rounds against Pac in the 3rd fight, and people were over that faster than they are about Bradley. Maybe people are angry that he took the shine off Mayweather VS Pac or something, but that robbery isnt 1/2 as bad as others that happened.

Pacquiao won the first fight, but I think Tim wins the rematch, he showed in the last 3 rounds that Pacquiao was not comfortable in being the aggressor and was able to outbox him (despite injury).

I agree. He acts like he beat Pacquiao for real and deserves the respect that would come from a clear win over Pacquiao. He thinks Pacquiao did not fight him again because Pacquiao was afraid of him and can't understand that there is not much money in fighting him and that is why he does not get the big money fights he is holding out for.He should have taken the Guerrero fight when it was offered. If he is waiting for another 5 million dollar payday he may have a long wait. looks that way, it makes sense that he should have requested an immediate rematch that is what most boxers do when they feel they were robbed. bradley himself told MP to take his belt back, im sure bradley knew he lost but the fight wasnt a blow out like some people make it out to be, MP looked terrible against bradley missing str8 lefts all night, yeah he landed some but he didnt even mark up bradleys face

so long as he keeps deluding himself he lost clearly to Pac and isn't getting any big fights he shoulda fought Guerrero when the opportunity was there he has more options at JWW than at WW if he can go back down slew of good fighters there for him to face off against

Make Bradley vs Rios, both are recipients of gift decisions

I'm glad Bradley isn't taking Arum's bullsh**. He'll suffer now, but hopefully it works out in the long run.

I like Timothy Bradley, Would like to see him back in the ring but in order for him to do that he must understand that the whole pacquaio think was a fluke you aint no PPV star. You place is on regular HBO B.A.D. or Showtime. come back to reality please Bradley I agree. He acts like he beat Pacquiao for real and deserves the respect that would come from a clear win over Pacquiao. He thinks Pacquiao did not fight him again because Pacquiao was afraid of him and can't understand that there is not much money in fighting him and that is why he does not get the big money fights he is holding out for.He should have taken the Guerrero fight when it was offered. If he is waiting for another 5 million dollar payday he may have a long wait.

Some childish attitudes on here just cos he got the nod against Pacquiao The rematch was there to remove all doubt but Pacquiao chose to fight Marquez I think Bradley is a very good boxer but obviously not as good as he thinks but people around here make Rios out to be great when he is as limited as the come.Plus he is guilty of a gift decision too

Bradley has a chance beating all of those guys except for Mayweather and Pacquiao. He gets beaten by both. We already know for sure by Pacquiao. Hell, if Manny from December were to show up, it'd be pretty ugly for Tim. And actually, most of those guys have a chance. Bradley has been mistaken for an "elite" top-shelf fighter when he just plain isn't. He's a cut above most guys, but I'd love to see him in with some of the names on that list. Many of them at least give him a highly competitive fight. The only guys I think he handles with ease on that list are possibly Khan if he can't stick to his gameplan, Garcia if he can't land a big hook (Danny needs to prove he can win another way against better competition IMO), and Rios (obviously the most limited fighter on that list with the exception of maybe Khan). Though I would like to see those fights too. 29 have tried, 29 have failed. Pac knew what would happen in a rematch, so he went back to familiar territory. Nacho knows what would happen to JMM, Arum knows what would happen to Rios, Garcia is gonna get beaten by Judah, and Khan is trying to fight Hatton's brother or something.

He thinks he some huge star, he ducked khan, He fought Pacquiao instead of Amir Khan. How is that ducking Khan?

i agree it aint bradleys fault he got the robbery win, but the guy is pathetic. He thinks he some huge star, he ducked khan, ducked so many other fighters just cause he wants to fight one big money fight per year. He doesnt deserve a big fight so he should get busy and start fighting some solid opponents on HBO BAD

As long as Bradley thinks he's a bigger star and worth more money than he is.
