I've seen virtually all of Bradley's fights, and I just don't see what the hype is about at all.

LOL how can you say these two things in the same post? What did you do, go on boxrec and hope nobody saw the fights? Bradley was not dropped by Cherry. In fact, he dropped Cherry with his signature counter right hand.

I feel Devon Alexander is the much better/more special fighter and would beat Bradley. Deep down I feel Tim knows this, and I feel he's ducking Devon.
Ducking Devon? He called him out two days after the Urango fight, yet nobody brings this up...In fact right now he's waiting for Devon to beat Kotelnik so they can finalize the contract with HBO for the January date or fight Amir Khan if he comes forward.

Am just sick of seein Tim gets all this hype and praise, dude's seriouly overrated.
And saying Devon would beat Aaron Pryor or Khan would beat Floyd isn't overhyping? Every fighter gets ridiculous hype at some point. It's natural. But at the end of the day we'll know whose better when they meet in January.
The hook Holt dropped him with would have been the beginning of the end for most guys.
Maybe what I'm trying to get at was clearly poorly worded. He doesn't have a bad chin because he would have been KO'd, but I could see him getting KO'd by someone with the pop of Holt who is a better fighter. I could be wrong...

He was knocked down by Holt because Holt called him a b**ch before the round started, and he let his emotions get the best of him by rushing in. I believe he ran into a right hand, which was followed up by the uppercut. But Diaz scolded him for that and it never happened again.
I've been watching Tim since his amatuer days and remember when he even defeated UK's Darren Barker.

-He was nearly knocked out cold by medicore/very average Kendall Holt.
-Was dropped by sub par/extremley medicore Edner Cherry, who can't really even punch. Paulie Mallinaggi done a much better job on Cherry.
-Went to a life and death struggle with a 35 year old Junior Witter.
Overall Bradley just hasn't got the X-Factor about him. Plain and simple.
He just isnt a special fighter/talent.
He is just a good solid/good pro.

Even in his last outing, he wasn't really that impressive. He just always for the most part seems to put in decent/average perfromances in, nothing more, nothing less.

1. lol at "nearly knocked out cold". he was nearly knocked out maybe, but even so he got up. holt is one hell of a puncher, getting up from that first left hook shows a great chin and great heart.
2. holt is far from mediocre/very average. he was a great talent who just took too much punishment over the course of his career which has been showing as of late.
3. he wasnt dropped by cherry, i guess u havent seen all his fights after all.
4. he didnt have a life and death fight with witter, he won big. its just because he fought in england that the cards were close, again i guess u missed that fight. boxrec let u down.
bradley isnt great in any one area, but hes solid in all areas and adapts well. he does have a good resume and great ability. i could agree to disagree if u werent so badly biased, "nearly knocked out cold" this and "life and death struggle" that just proves u cant be taken seriously though.
He did to Witter what nobody else had done, which is flip Witter's trick back around and take the advantage of awkwardness away from him...Witter predicates on having his own way in a fight - even if it's close or he isn't clearly winning, the other guy is vexed and ineffectual...against Bradley, it was Witter who was frustrated and ineffective, and who was systematically broken down and ultimately dominated in a boxing chess match.
And for Bradley's lack of pop, he's still no featherfist - Witter and Cherry both have good chins...you don't drop those guys heavily like that without respectable punching power.
