he was at JWW, but he's not as a WW
his resume is pretty good, he's beaten some quality fighters
winning is winning, sans the Pac fight, Bradley has always won
his skills aren't elite, he's overrated as a boxer
dumbasses here label him as a boxer when he really isn't by trade
he has skills but he's more of a tough guy than anything else
he's not a brawler, but he's an attrition fighter who wears guys down
He is one of the best of his era,,, not of all time but of his era
his resume is damn impressive, even if you take away the manny gift,,,,
beating peterson, abregu, alexander, jmm, vasquez, witter, holt, those are some strong names to have on your resume,,
people gonna hate on him because of the lack of ko power, and that he got a gift vs manny, and the ruslan fight was very close,,, but in reality, bradley always comes to fight, and is one of the most mentally tough guys in the sport,, the guy has faced all sorts of drama before and not once has he ever buckled under the pressure,,,
he got to where he is today by hardwork and nothing else,, he was not a blue-chip prospect and had to earn everything he has,,,
Bradley has very very solid resume. Especially when you consider the stages in his career when he fought names such as:
Miguel Vazquez
Edner Cherry
Kendall Holt
Lamont Peterson
Carlos Abregu
Devon Alexander
Joel Casamayor (the fashion he beat him)
Provodnikov
JMM
Bradley, to me, is on the same level with Ward. That is an elite level. Tim's controversial win over Manny is what is keeping him from getting his proper respect. Besides that, he has been beating top level guys for the last 3 or 4 years. He beat the #2 guy at 140, which was Alexander, and his decision over Manny gave him the win over one of the top welterweights at that time. His win over Ruslan displayed his championship heart and his last victory was over a future hall of famer and top welterweight. The icing on the cake would be a fight against Floyd to prove he's the best. Its a very winnable fight( though most would disagree) and it would definitely put him in the hall of fame. I would love to see a welterweight tournament to unify that division. If Tim could beat Broner, Alexander/Porter, and a showdown with Floyd, hands down he would be the best fighter on the planet. I hope his management team and promoter can put him on that type of platform to show the world his true greatness. There is nothing that stands out about Tim with the exception that he is skilled, intelligent, and has a lot of heart. Those ingredients alone makes him a hard fighter to beat. He is Evander Holyfield in a 147lb frame.
Bradley in good in ways you can't see it because you're a casual and do know this sport well.
He's not extremely fast or does not hit hard but he is intelligent, has a strong chin with good recovery ability, excellent swarming style and strong mentality.
Okay boxing Zenmaster
Bradley is elite. HE beat up the guy that Iced Pac who was supposed to be p4p #1/2 not too long ago
In This OVERRATED ERA of boxing...MAYBE!
But when you start stacking him up against all time greats or what ever...NO he is not Elite but a Very GOOD Fighter and is putting together a Hall Of Fame Career
No doubt holmes, Ortiz would be THE fighter to expose Bradley for what he is, a fraud. The fight can be made imo.
dafuq?!
bradley isnt a fraud, not at all. i think a bradley-ortiz fight would be a good one, but later in the fight timmy takes over and outboxes ortiz. ortiz seems to lose it after getting frustrated. on his best, MAYBE ortiz can steal a decision, but not easy by any means. for either man...
Floyd needs to prove he can beat 'Vicious' without a cheapshot, he was looking worried before the Cortez assisted cheap punch holmes.
Victor needs to prove he can beat an average jr welterweight.
Facelube is a fun action fighter I will always watch. But he's a stoonad.
