Timothy Bradley. Overhyped?

[Ray*]

Judah?

Bradley went OVER SEAS into Witters back yard, at the time he was ranked 15th in the division and Witter was the WBC champ... and Bradley beat him in his own country.

He whooped Edner Cherry, and then fought through adversity against the most likely biggest puncher in the division Kendall Holt in a unification fight. He fought Nate Campbell, which only lasted 3 rounds, and anyone who watched the first 3 rounds could tell what was going to happen anyway. Then fought the undefeated Peterson, and dominated him in an exciting fight.

This was also his first fight as a welterweight, and I think he looked great.


Judah is your measuring stick? Bradley would steam roll Judah.

Thats exactly what i have just said in my previous post.

Not overhype for me why? Because he had some good wins at 140 to date and some very good performance outside of the United states of america.

Yes you would get a lot of people who just jumped on his bandwagon recently but overall (Since the Witter fight) he has done well, I hope he fights alexander next to get himself to the next level right under the Mayweather or Pacquiao level but as of now he shouldnt even be calling them out.

Exactly. He needs to fight and get passed Alexander before he goes calling out the likes of Floyd or Pac.

He is just trying to get his name out there... JMM called out Floyd, who'd of thought Floyd would take the bait?

I watched him fight for the first time last Saturday, and after hearing all this hype surrounding him, I wasnt all that impressed. Sure he's good, but nowhere near the way certain posters here were making him out to be. He throws a lot of wide wild looping punches. He sure as hell isnt ready for the likes of Pac or Floyd.

Anyone feel the same?

No, I agree...I think he is good, but not great. In his defense, Bradley is progressively getting better, but very vunerable.

IMO Devon Alexander is more technical and more powerful than Bradley. It would be a great match-up. I see Alexander catching Bradley while thrown a looping shot. Much like Holt did to Bradley and momentarily stunned him; only Alexander's power would hurt Bradley.

Last Saturday was the first time i've seen him fight, but i've been reading up a lot about him here, and how he's this incredible fighter. Yes he's good, but no where near how you guys here are making him out to be.

On Saturday, he fought Carlos Abregu. An undefeated fighter with absolutely nobody noteworthy on his resume. A guy pretty much tailor made for Bradley, yet Bradley still had problems at times with Carlos.

Now I have nothing against Bradley. He's an exciting aggressive fighter who's entertaining to watch, but I feel he's getting a little too much praise here before he's even proven himself against an elite fighter.

Lets see how he at least does against the likes of Judah before we can pass judgement on the guy.

Judah? Bad name to say he needs to test himself against. He's beaten fighters at least as good as Judah is right now. Do some homework on Bradley, he is a really good fighter, he's just not a good fit at welterweight right away.

I championed Bradley after he beat Witter an he hasnt let me down but the hype has outgrown the talent, he dont make my p4p list but what i will say i Boxing NEEDS more guys with Tims guts and balls, he wants to take on the best

How does beating an Alexander give him a closer shot or level u say at Pac or May...? He ranked above him and has been for along time before Alexander was even ranked Bradely was the NO#1 fighter at 140....

[wylout]

where have you been if this is the first time you've seen bradley?

it's not like all of the hype was from the fight with abregu. you should check out some of his other fights before you make a decision like that. his last fight isn't one i would use as the best representation of him.

well that is bad if you can't judge bradley off his latest fight, he should look better and better not good and then ok. devon on the other hand is looking better after every fight
