Tim Bradley deserves every true boxing fans respect

Flat out, the guy has the biggest balls in the sport of boxing. He is not afraid of anyone. Though sometimes the things he says are death wishes like wanting to fight Golovkin, Klitschko, etc. We should frown more upon fighters like Cotto and Appreciate fighters like Tim Bradley because he wants to fight the best. WAR T-BRAD!!!!!!!!! agreed Tim DESERT ****ING Storm Bradley!!

Anyone would fight Marquez or Pacquiao if they were handed the opportunity. I don't see why he deserves "respect" for taking those fights. Provodnikov, Chaves and Vargas were all meant to be showcase fights for him but he managed to make struggles out of them. He gave them all a name. Your making it sound like Bradley v JMM/Pac meant nothing. They were huge fights. He lost to one of the best ever and then beat a very tough, very good mexican fighter, one of the bets lower division fighters of his time. Let's be honest, Vargas beyond round 12 was not a struggle.

Bradley is a throwback fighter. Only easy opponent this man has faced in the last 6 years was a past his prime Casemayor. Peterson, Alexander, Chaves, Vargas, Witter, and Provodnikov are all very solid fighters and capable of beating any fighter on any night. Its a shame we may never see him against the Haymon fighters. Wins over some of those guys would put him on an elite level and possibly an all time great. But as of now, he is a future 1st ballad hall of famer, hands down. I'm sure we will see him fight Brook. But another mega fight for Tim will be Terrence Crawford in the next 2 years. That will be a war!!! But Tim falls in the category with Hagler and Holyfield. He is one of the best of his era but will always be over shadowed by other fighters like Manny, Floyd, and Khan. Hagler was overshadowed by Leonard and Duran and Holyfield was overshadowed by Tyson and Lewis. But Tim is a soldier and I believe him when he says he'll fight GGG. Appreciate him while he's still around, because it will be a long time before you see another fighter with this type of heart, courage, and skill, although I do honestly think Crawford is cut from the same cloth.

That was problematic and why I didn't like Timmy for quite some time but he has fought Pacquiao, JMM, Provodnikov, Chaves...heck even Vragas may be ranked a top 20 welterweight. That's a list of opponents including greats, world champs and good fighters. He deserves respect for that. Anyone would fight Marquez or Pacquiao if they were handed the opportunity. I don't see why he deserves "respect" for taking those fights. Provodnikov, Chaves and Vargas were all meant to be showcase fights for him but he managed to make struggles out of them.

lool. you think he'd actually fight Golovkin? All talk man, as evident when he said he'd fight Klischko too.

"What if I lose to Amir Khan?" That was problematic and why I didn't like Timmy for quite some time but he has fought Pacquiao, JMM, Provodnikov, Chaves...heck even Vragas may be ranked a top 20 welterweight. That's a list of opponents including greats, world champs and good fighters. He deserves respect for that.

I've always been a fan and still am, but he's pretty much looked like sh*t since the 2nd half of Pac-Bradley II. Clearly something has been off. He looked pretty good against Vargas, one punch aside. I'm not really a fan of Bradley though.

Yeah! Finally something we can agree on! So do you agree with the part where I said we should frown upon fighters like Cotto as well.

He isn't doing himself any favors fighting the Chaves' and Vargas' of the world. He needs to get back to fighting the top guys instead of just talking about it.

I respect his courage and skill and toughness in the ring but I don't respect his big mouth. The guy offers up an opinion on everything often on things that have nothing to do with him. For instance he says Pacquiao shouldn't use the shoulder injury as an excuse for his loss to Mayweather. Then he says he would have won his fight with Pacquiao if he didn't have a leg injury. What a hypocrite. His challenge to fight GGG at 160 is a joke. He knows GGG won't fight him because he is too small so he is safe. His challenge to fight long retired Morales also was a joke. He scored his first fight with Pacquiao 8 rounds for himself and 4 rounds for Pacquiao. He is the only person in the world who thought he won 8 rounds. Almost everybody else thought Pacquiao won the first fight by a country mile. He used his two "broke feet" as the reason he didn't knock Pacquiao out in the first fight.

Brook can fight both TR and Haymon fighters. Funny that Thurman hasn't fought anyone in your list doe. Same thing with Porter, except a non Haymon fighter. Bradley will be another protected fighter in the Haymon camp. Takes years before Haymon pits them against each other. Exactly man. Who cares if haymon has all the guys, they don't fight each other.

I've always been a fan and still am, but he's pretty much looked like sh*t since the 2nd half of Pac-Bradley II. Clearly something has been off.

Tim is a throw back fighter came up the hard way and took a lot of decent names 0 And been threw wars and won them all convincly except Pacquiao fight

I owe you green K. I would give you green k but I need to spread the love as well. I agree with a lot of things you say about that ho Sheguel Cotto

Your 100% right!!!!!! He ABSOLUTELY ducked Khan!!!!!!! Bradley ducks Khan and people call it a business decision to get a Pac fight, Khan tries to get a Mayweather fight and people hate on him. I call it Bradley CLEARLY ducked Khan because he knew it was a tough fight for him and a fight he could lose. Id love to see that fight now, but I doubt Bradley would take it still. According to the IBF, Khan ducked Bradley for Algieri

Thurman Khan Mayweather Porter Brook Maidana yea all the other top ww's Brook can fight both TR and Haymon fighters. Funny that Thurman hasn't fought anyone in your list doe. Same thing with Porter, except a non Haymon fighter. Bradley will be another protected fighter in the Haymon camp. Takes years before Haymon pits them against each other.

Tim went with Top Rank because it was the best choice for him and he decided not to be a dick by turning his back on the promoter who made his career what it is today. Tim is a class act. The Khan fight made no sense at the time when Tim had much bigger options on the horizon. Put them in with each other now and Khan has no chance in hell. Tim Bradley cares about the fans and wants to fight the best. People seem to need to find something to ***** about. Bradley is p4p one of the best in the sport and as the original post says, he deserves respect.

Very true. He limited himself into getting access with the likes of Molina, Diaz, Karass, Molina, Collazo, Broner, Kamegai, Bundu.... Thurman Khan Mayweather Porter Brook Maidana yea all the other top ww's
