I'm a fan. I like Tim, unlike fighters nowadays, he can actually fight inside and outside. He relies on boxing skills no athleticism or speed. He needs to cool it with his head though.
Who all is a Timothy Bradley Fan?

Bump, since Bradley has seemed to gain a lot of fans since I last bumped this, let see who counts themself as a fan currently.
I still like Bradley as he is a quality fighter and a seemingly good guy, I just don't think he can beat Manny~Comment

Big Bradley fan, he dipped out of my top 5 with the whole shaw/khan fiasco but he's right around 5 again for me. Love the guy's heart, like his style a lot, and i like him as a person. He's getting pac yes, but im nit sold on his business sEnse. If he had beaten khan, he have more leverage, hage another couple milly in the bank and he'd still get pac or floyd (and be undisputed at 140). Plus he picked fat shaw in the first place.Comment

I don't think beating Khan would have done that much for him, Manny and Floyd would still be worlds away, although it couldn't have hurt and he would have likely worked Khan.
I don't think Shaw did that badly for Bradley he got a guy without power, an ok style but not overly exciting, and little pizazz on premium TV with regularity. It was wise to leave him as that was the fathest he could take him put to that point I can't fault Shaw. If he was with someone else he probably would have fell through the cracks because he would have been low priority.Comment

Yea I saw that, sorry as I didn't bump it for that reason. It would have been lost for history except I don't really make threads so can easily go back if I need to point out something that I brought up in one of the few I did.Comment

Shaw made a lot of mistakes. He didnt promote the alexander fight for shi t. He fought him at home later in his career but never built a hometown champ into an attraction.
I know about 2 point Something million things it would have done besides make him the undisputed king at 140. Roads would have led to manny or floyd for sure. And he'd be out from shaw by now. Plus he wpuld have exposed khan.Comment

Bradley is unlucky in the hometown department, he can draw there and there is a casino is close but just is not that big so I can understand trying to do something else with him still there didn't seem to be any plan to turn him into a ticket seller. I think that was a major uphill battle though, so I can't fault Shaw to much.
Yea he should have beat Khan as it only could have helped him long run and Shaw would have done a one off just to be associated with a big fight, so there wasn't that much risk, and it would have been fun to see him batter Khan.Comment
