Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Criticizes ESPN's Ward and Bradley Again, Says Bradley Should Not Be In Hall of Fame

Lopez is absolutely correct…ESPN hands them a script and they stick to it, which is who are you going to believe us or your lying m f n eyes

I don't see HOF-level either, but I know his win over Junior Witter was a big deal at the time, he also broke down Brandon Rios who was at one time a big deal. But Bradley always left it in the ring, that has to be recognized.

Him ducking Spence, Broner and Horn was a bit disappointing though.

Gotta respect Bradley’s wins against Kendall Holt, Devon Alexander, Lamont Peterson, & Ruslan Provognikov. Arturo Gatti would have been smoked by all the aforementioned names and he got in so it is what it is. Let’s see if Teo is HOF worthy in 2 years

You're right Tim Bradley didn't beat Manny Pacquiao, and neither did Jeff Horn, while we're on the subject.
Moreover the first fight against Manuel Marquez wasn't a draw, Pacquiao won that fight as well, scoring 3 knockdowns in the process.
I hated seeing Pacquiao getting cheated in those fights, he was a special fighter, and one of the greatest fighters in the annuals of boxing's history.

Now back to subject of this post, although Tim Bradley was a hell of a fighter in his day, but he's not an unbiased commentator.
He doesn't always call the fight the way it's actually taking place in the ring, and for that very reason he shouldn't be a commentator.

Teofimo Lopez should be concentrating on his up coming fight against Josh Taylor, who I believe is going to put a serious hurting on him on Saturday.
Criticizing Tim Bradley, and Andre Ward, isn't going to help Teofimo Lopez Jr., one iota before, during, or after his fight against Josh Taylor.

Agree with Pac-Man beating Bradley. Disagree slightly that Pac-Man beat Horn. Horn was relentless against an under prepared Pac-Man and legal, illegal and everything in between I’ve never seen anyone literally rough up Manny. Horn went to deaths door in a brutal brutal fight for both Manny and himself. I think Hirn nicked the decision.

Exactly Teo is 100% spot on.

Bradley and Ward are ridiculously biased they have agendas and have been getting away with them for a long time unfortunately.

All boxing commentators not just ESPN and Bradley basically choose the winner of fights and have gulliable fans believing them. Imo there shouldnt be any "unofficial" scorer. Ive noticed in many boxing matches, fans go by their scoring like its concrete evidence.

[Offensive Wizardry]

Teo knows he lost that fight to Sandor Martin so all he has to denigrate Bradley and Ward is appeal to the racists in society.

Same strategy the Loma fans used following the Haney loss.

He is correct about ESPN announcers being biased. They are biased in favor of whichever boxer is the higher earner for Bob.

Problem was Sandor was beating Teo so thoroughly that Bradley and Ward would’ve sacrificed any shred of professionalism and credibility they had if they given the fight to Teo.

of course.

bring up the race card.

muh racism again?

dont you ever get tired of that?

smh....

Bradley’s commentating irritates me in all honesty. He’s a company(ESPN) guy. He’s normally hyping the house fighter. But to question his HOF status is insane to me. That was a deep generation of talent he fought in. And though he wasn’t on Mayweather or Paquiao’s level, he was definitely right beneath them. He showed he could compete with the elite. He was highly competitive in all 3 fights against Manny and actually had him rocked in the 3rd fight. I think people forget how tough and talented Junior Witter, Kendall Holt, Lamont Peterson and Alexander were. He had a fight of the year battle with Ruslan which was a classic. We’ll be watching that fight 20 years from now. Marquez was just coming off the big KO of Manny when Tim beat him. Bradley was a very good champion and only someone who can’t put their emotions aside about him can’t see that.
