    what is your opinion on Tim Bradley

    what is your opinion on Tim Bradley? i think he is a very good fighter and i think he is being overlooked as a serious threat at 140lbs

    he has speed decent/good power and a good defence/footwork and he seems to have a good Boxing brain aswelll which is what impresses me most

      Bradley appears to be a very solid fighter, with decent speed, power, skill etc. His best attribute seems to be his brain though, he's a very patient, and boxes very smart tactical fights. I believe he is a credible threat to anyone at JWW.

      That said, his best win remains Junior Witter and his win over Cherry in which he looked very good was against an average opponent, moving up in weight. We've yet to see how he would go against a higher class opponent, but everything so far suggests he belongs in those type of fights.

      If I were him I would seek to fight the loser of Malignaggi v Hatton and if he wins that then take on the winner. I think he would have a shot at beating the winner right off the bat, but he only hit the top level one fight ago and there is no sense in overreaching, let him build his career.

          after ricky loses he will want to cash out against dlh or pacqiua and be done at jww. bradley in my opinion is best @140 now

              Why the loser? Why not go for the gusto? He's got a belt. He might as well try and grab another along with recognition as top JWW.

                I like him hje'd give Hatton a serious run for his money probably ko'ing him. Also he's probably not even in his prime yet.

                I like him the most though for exposing Bitter as an overrated snake handed bum.

                  very talented young man. looked much improved and less green in his most recent fight with cherry. he still needs some experience, and some more big names, but the kid seems legit imo. i hope, and expect he does big things.

                    imo he beat the best 140 lber in witter already.

                    so he is the best at 140 imo.
