Does Tim Bradley make it in the HOF?

[-MEGA-]

2 division world champion. Beat multiple former champions as well as people who went on to win championships afterwards. Gave us some classic fights.

id say it’s an easy yes, but what’s your thoughts?

For me it's a no, his career is losing to Pac 3 times.

Amir Khan is a glaring hole in his resume, the Devon Alexander win didn't age well (remember when that was sold as the modern Hagler-Hearns lol)

Timmy has good solid wins but he's not one of the best of his era and for me it's a no, I understand others will disagree.

[w1cked]

I'd say yea

aside from the accomplishments you mentioned, he was also basically the third best welterweight in the world around that 2013-2015 timeframe, only behind floyd and pac.

especially with the on-paper victory over a decent version of pac.

Fair enough. But in hindsight we should have known that Tim and devon would have been a bust due to their styles. If Tim would have never said “what do I get by fighting Kahn” it wouldn’t have been that big an issue. But he said it so that’s that. I doubt many people even remember that.

For me it’s the heart he showed vs provodnikov and his win over Marquez that solidifies it for me. Officially he does have a win over pac too.

A much better version of the one Thurman fought.

I wouldn't vote for him.

I wouldn't vote for him.

Why not? Is it his overall body of work or the lack of top notch competitors at the time? Aside from the business decision with Kahn he literally fought everyone he could in his prime.

[dannnnn]

No, not for me. Good, solid fighter but not great or exceptional.

I'm still salty over that Khan thing 10 years later, I don't even know who's fault it was tbh but it should have happened, that would have been huge, both of them at the time were very well rated and respected.

From the outside looking in it looks like Bradley smooth ducked khan. I think he said what do I get by fighting him and what happens if I lose type of thing. However, I’m sure it was purely a business decision. But yes, we missed out on what could have been a barn burner. Khan wasn’t all shot to sht at that time either.
