2 division champ with Wins over:
Miguel vazquez-went on to be champ and arguably the #1 fighter at 135 for a little while
Junior witter-travelled to the champ's backyard in england and beat him up for the wbc title
Kendall holt-was wbo champ and regarded as one of the bigger punchers at the weight
Lamont peterson- was undefeated, then went on to beat khan to become champ and give good showing against garcia
Devon Alexander- was undefeated wbc champ, went on to dominate Maidana and win title at 147
Ruslan Provodnikov -foty war, went on to destroy Alvarado to become champ
Juan Manuel Marquez -hof legend, was coming off his one punch ko win over pacquiao
Jessie vargas- was undefeated former 140 lb champ, went on to beat undefeated ali for 147 lb title
Brandon rios-former champ at 135/interim at 140, coming off dominating win over Alvarado
Along with these guys, also had wins over former champs or top ten fighters like:
Nate Campbell
Luis abregu
Joel casa mayor
Diego chaves
Definitely lost 3 times to pacquiao, who is an ATG.
I think he would get in if he retired right now

If Gatti's in, Bradley is in 3x.

I definitely think he would be. If TR was openly working with the PBC group, Bradley would beat all the ww's that PBC has.
If he fights and beats Brook he solidifies his legacy 5 fold. Brook is considered by some as the best active welterweight today and many people have him and Bradley ranked 1 and 2. The winner could possibly be consider The Welterweight Champion if they fought.
I think its a winnable fight too. I would definitely favor brook but tim has alot more experience and is tough as hell
Hopefully he can get a fight with brook, and maybe some of the haymon fighters too

Huh.. I forgot he beat Peterson.
His 140 resume is heavy.
His 147 has gotten better these last few years. A Broner/Brook win only adds to that.
I honestly can't think of a fighter thats beaten as many quality jwws as tim has.
yea id say so, hes a hof
id still like to see him test his abilities against the new welterweights and fight brook, porter, thurman and khan. Fighting the brandon rios' and the diego chaves' of the world isnt helping his legacy.

He's first ballot HOF in my opinion. He ruled the 140 division and was clearly the best fighter there before moving up. Has a win over an ATG in Marquez coming off his career best win. He has a FOTY under his belt. He took out several undefeated fighters. He also headlined 4 PPVs and his only lost is too the best fighter of his era
I agree with alot of this. Peterson, alexander, abregu and vargas were all undefeated when tim beat them. He had a great 140 lb resume, just wish he had fought khan when they were the top 2 guys at the time
