Just to add a bit of context:

-He applies a lot of illegal headbutting.

-Joel Casamayor was a 40 years old and lost to Bradley in his last bout.

-His win over Pacquiao is quite controversial. The decision ended Pacquiao's 7-year undefeated streak and gave Bradley the title. According to Compubox, Pacquiao was ahead in punches landed, power punches landed, percentage of punches landed, and percentage of power punches landed.

-He should had won against Argentina's Diego Chavez.

-He outscored Jessie Vargas throughout most of the fight, but after getting badly rocked by Vargas, the final round was stopped midway with the ref concluding Jesse as the winner, Top Rank's crew however wasn't pleased with the result and it went to the scorecards instead.

-Juan Manuel Marquez, similiarly to Casamayor, was already 40 years old and was one fight near retirement, this was a quite a good win as Marquez just came back from beating Pacquiao by KO, but at this stage it wasn't the same Marquez that could keep up with Pacquiao's work rate in the previous three fights, his cardio along with his defensive reflexes had faded. Still a Good earned win by Bradley.

-Bradley's fight with Campbell only lasted three rounds after Campbell chose not to continue when a cut formed over and behind his left eye. Bradley was awarded the TKO victory, but the verdict was later changed. A replay showed that the cut was caused by an accidental clash of heads. The rules state that if a fight is stopped by a cut caused by an accidental headbutt before the end of round four, it should be called a no contest.

-His wins over Holt, Rios, Vazquez, Provodnikov, Alexander, Peterson and Vargas is pretty impressive, considering they are former champions in their physical prime. With some being undefeated.

Anyone can say anything they want about Timmy’s announcing but the man gave it all in the ring

3 of his fights I watch again and again because they are very entertaining and skillful

1 vs Peterson
2 vs Provo
3 vs Juan Manuel

there was never any quit in Timmy no matter how bad it got

I never listen to the commentary in a fight anyway, I turn off the sound and play music when I watch a fight so I don’t have anything against his commentary

[real raw]

Bradley overachieved IMO. He's the precursor to Shawn Porter, both maximized their opportunities.
