Bradley would get annihilated with speed. He also swings incredibly too wide for Floyds defense.
He wouldnt win a round. And I LOVE Bradley. Absolute dog.
I just don’t see how? Bradley was way too slow and didn’t have power. He was a solid fighter but was straight up and down no special effects. Struggled like mad with C level fighters like Chaves and Provodnikov. I’m not saying he wasn’t good but Marquez/Mosley and Cotto between them won 3/4 rounds against Floyd and those are 3 hall of famers. I think Bradley would’ve got shutout just like Marquez to be honest. Floyd was bigger, stronger, faster, smarter. Better in every way.
It’s easy work and this is why he went to Top Rank instead. He thought he could beat Pacquiao but had no confidence at all in being able to beat Floyd. He knew it. He was a solid B+ fighter to me. Had a good career but I never watched any of his fights and thought “wow this guy is something special”. He was just very good and no more than that. And that’s no disrespect he probably beats a lot of guys in his era, but Floyd was on a whole different level altogether. Tim isn’t stupid. He was well aware of this. You never heard him once bring up Floyd’s name during his career for that reason. Like I said he could’ve got the fight but he chose to go another route. That tells you all you need to know. No interest.
He got into tough fights with those guys, because he embraces the grind it out, in fighting war type fights, as well as being slick. He's a slick in fighter, counter puncher, and could swarm you when needed, which is something that would give Floyd fits. Styles make fights, and I think Timmy's a very tough match up for Floyd, because he was willing to take a hit to engage you, and also had very good head movement on the inside, while swarming, and throwing punches at you.
And I don't ever recall Timmy having the chance to fight Floyd, or ever being offered that fight. Floyd knows Timmy would be a tough match up, and would rather face plodders, or non slick boxers with no head movement, and that he could pot shot all day. Timmy was a multi faceted fighter, and had many dimensions to his game, unlike many of Floyd's opponents.
You really underestimate how tough of a match up Timmy would be for Floyd. Hell, his only losses are to Pacquiao. His resume is stellar.
These silly guys think pacquiao and Marquez being competitive with Timmeh means Floyd wouldn’t have an easy time with him
Reality check neither Marquez or manny are close to being Floyd’s equal inside of the ring. Floyd beat both these guys easily. Both struggled with Timmeh the poor man’s version of Mayweather
This fight like a Lexus VS a Toyota
Timmeh gets maybe 1 round
Similar style but levels below without any physical advantage.
Exactly right. Small guys just don't do well vs Floyd. I could see Floyd even dropping Timmy depending on which versions of both guys show up.
Plenty of fighters worse than Marquez, Manny, and Alvarez won rounds against Mayweather.
Bradley was a chameleon, he fought plenty of different ways and was typically smart enough to recognize the best way to fight. People always said he was too limited to fight certain ways and then he would show up and do exactly that.
I don't think for a second that Bradley would beat Mayweather, but he would be able to make it uncomfortable and make Mayweather work. He'd outperform expectations. Bradley ALWAYS outperformed expectations.
Glad to see you still around. Hope you and your family are doing well during the pandemic.
Yes worse fighters have. And better fighters than Tim have won fewer than 3 rounds against Floyd.
I just can’t see him doing that. Tim always outperformed, he deserves credit for that.
Tim is a damn good boxer. You could argue his success is more due to the fact he has been the best pure boxer in the rung in almost every one of his fights than his grit or heart, which he has plenty of.
That wouldn’t be the case with Floyd. That, and the advantages in athleticism, reach, size, ring IQ and speed would imo make it very tough for Tim to win more than 1 or 2 rounds at best.
Lot of guys have made Floyd work, in particular Castillo, Shane, cotto, maidana, Jesus Chavez , odh. All were bigger than Floyd. Tim isn’t.
Respectfully, it can’t be nonsense given that Floyd is the superior boxer, better athlete, faster and has a higher ring IQ.
Jmm and other men have the same fighting spirit Tim has and were completely outclassed by Floyd as well.
Castillo and Maidana were bigger than Floyd. Castillo 1 was Floyd’s 1st fight at 135. I think it is fair to say that contributed to the outcome. Maidana was very awkward. Tim is neither.
I just don’t see how Tim is competitive. Not because he isn’t everything you posted about him but because at some point we need to set aside personal feelings and be honest about Floyd’s skill as a fighter.
I just don’t see how Tim wins any more rounds than JMM, Canelo or Manny against Floyd.

Substitute Tim’s name with any boxer in any era and you’d have that same opinion. So yes you are a Floyd Polesmoker.
This post makes no sense. My argument here is attributes and common opponents. That wouldn't necessarily be the case in other fantasy matchups.
Again, this will always be a terrible match up for Tim.
Personal feeling toward Floyd?
Dude Imo Floyd wins and I find it hard for me to see Bradley winning. But that said it doesn’t mean he can’t make it competitive. Bradley for all his shortcomings he’d have vs Floyd he does have an unbreakable will and heart and his desire to win is incredible. Those qualities go a very long way when you step in the ring.
I think you need tell yourself about getting your feeling in the way when it comes to Floyd as you act like he’s a God and there is no way anyone can beat him or be competitive against him.
I was making more of a general statement when I posted personal feelings.
Again, Tim can have heart and will. Floyd has that as well, plus the things I mentioned. I am not acting like that in any way.
That was the problem I had with your post. You stated anyone that claims Floyd blows him out was a "nuthugger". Now that I am making a case using their attributes, and their common opponents, you claim I am acting like he is a God. I am not doing that in any way.
It's just a terrible matchup for Tim. I just don't see how anyone doesn't see this.
That jab to the face after Marquez was making faces with Bradley always cracked me up :lol1::lol1:
yea it does
there's always high praise for his intelligence and ring generalship, but then that happens, can only think the roid rage took over at that point

- -Jose I can't see Feliciano is it for U now?
Tout U horn over perfect TUE 51-0 record while ignoring the obvious late fade in lil' FloydBoy heavily orchestrated hometown career with two Majority Decisions vs Canelo and Maidana.
Do U boy pay U spammer wages to drool over him like dogs begging fo' treats.
Seriously, this guy is mentally ill.

You need to make more of effort to understand like others do!
Pac beat morales, barrera, Bradley in rematches.
He beat jmm in rematches 2nd and 3rd fight If not error in scorecard.
Does a 4th fight count as rematch, or is just being overly generous to opponent. Something Floyd don't know meaning of. He's never rematches biggest rivals as he likes to have an air of mystery about himself. He only rematches Castillo and maidana as they were lower tier names and people not only thought he lost to them but he thought he could beat them.
Floyd didn't think he could beat dlh, and pac even though people thought floyd lost so didn't give rematch. People don't think nel o beat floyd But Floyd certainly weren't going to rematch a guy he didn't think he'd beat
Tim has all the tools he need to beat anybody. He's just overwhelmed by emotions and the drama. Hence the varying styles he tries in different fights.

You actually not listened to one word I've said and going off on tangent.
Floyd has never rematch biggest rivals. Big rivals are pac, nelo, dlh etc etc. Guys with as good or better resumes and are as big names in the sport.
Pac did do well in rematches with all his opponents he won all rematches. He best jmm in 2nd and 3rd fight if not scoring error. Floyd in comparison has zero proof.
Don't say floyd schooled everyone now!
Seriously, this guy is mentally ill.

Floyd career isn't as much depth as pacs.
Floyd s never beat anyone Pac lost to. Floyd cheated scales with jmm and you can hardly say Pac lost to jmm when it took 4 attempts?
Bradley beat pac first attempt. Floyd couldn't even beat Bradley one time? Floyd s fans say Floyd would beat Bradley but as usual it's Pac who actually does.
It's things like this which is why Pac s top 3 and Floyd found wanting
You're contradicting yourself, yet again. :lol1:
Floyd schools Tim either 11-1 or 12-0.
Floyd embarrassed Marquez 12-0. The same guy who put Manny to sleep.
Well, he overcomes his shortcomings he has against Floyd using is unbreakable heart and unwavering determination to make it a competitive fight in a losing effort. To say it would just be easy work for Floyd is nonsense.
Look at his first fights with Castillo and maidana. On paper in every category Floyd has all the advantages except power vs maidana. And among a lot of people they thought Floyd lost those fights. Those two dude used heart and determination to overcome their disadvantages and had a huge will to win. And virtually they did win in a lot of people’s eyes.
So imo Bradley would be absolutely competitive in a lo losing effort.
Respectfully, it can’t be nonsense given that Floyd is the superior boxer, better athlete, faster and has a higher ring IQ.
