Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley Calls for Father-Son Duos to Be Banned In Boxing

[Phase III]

The ban on father/son duos should start with the father’s of Danny Garcia, David Benavidez, Devin Haney, and Teo Lopez who are all embarrassing idiots and a disgrace to the sport with their crazy behavior. All 4 are complete ******s!

Most people would trust their father to save them from danger over a trainer. It didn’t look like Sugarhill cared that much when Okolie was being humiliated a few weeks ago

It's when some fathers try to live through their sons and smack talking the other fighter like Angel Garcia, Teofimo Lopez Snr. They should just ban fathers from talking lol

Don't forget Ruben Guerrero!

Father & son duos usually do not end well, but banned?.Tim is an idiot….

Timothy Bradley hasn't made a point at all but to say he's had issues with his dad, so do we eliminate all fathers whom typically encourage their children in all sports for the most part. Tim should not be a commentator for many people who are real fans and past fighters of the sport, due to his denial and comparison of his career most times. Tim should be quite! There's nothing wrong with a father wanting the best out of his son or daughter for that matter and the father just like any other parent should be compensated for there labor, but no more or less than others. Tim should go apologize for his ******ity to his dad and disrespect as well. Lastly please fire this dirt bag!

I see where Tim is coming from and boxing history is full of examples to support that father-son relationships rarely end well for the boxer but I disagree with the banning portion. Ultimately they are adults and they are free to make the decisions that they think it's best for them

I disagree with Timothy Bradley. Blood is thicker than water. Who would you rather have as your best interest at heart? Some complete stranger or your own father who loves you unconditionally?

[STREET CLEANER]

You left out arguably the most successful active father-son duo - the Haneys. Timothy bradley is a **** stain. I wish the guy would just disappear from boxing.

That is why I included the etc, there are a lot of father and son teams that did well. Trinidad, Erik Morales, etc. They have been others that were not as successful but had a decent career.

I don't think it's a blanket statement, there's def good ones and bad ones but ultimately is up to the boxer to recognize whether they need a change or not. I think Yoel Judah was good for Zab and so was Mosley Sr but there's also bad ones like Gabriel Flores' dad (calls his own son "bro" lmao) and I think Teo Sr hurts Teo more than helping him
