Timoth Bradley Is Plain Overrated & Overhyped!

[bojangles1987]

Bradley may not be the most athletically gifted fighter, but he does everything well. He can box, he can brawl, he can rip you to the body, counterpunch, he can take a punch, and he has had his opponents in trouble in his last three or four fights.

The only serious drawback to Bradley is he doesn't finish opponents, but he is good at everything else. No matter how you fight him, he has a stylistic counter to it. He would beat Alexander because of that advantage.

I completely agree about his lack of finishing opponents. He should have stopped Peterson and Abregu. The only guy I feel he could have finished is Nate Campbell because he was hitting him pretty hard until the heatbutt.

I think Bradley is a great fighter, its his use of headbutts that I have a problem with

I've been watching Tim since his amatuer days and remember when he even defeated UK's Darren Barker.

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

-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.

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.

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.

Am just sick of seein Tim gets all this hype and praise, dude's seriouly overrated.

I agree with this somewhat. He lacks power and i hate his overhead right, makes him look like he's looking for a lucky punch and it's rarely effective, if at all. On top of that he isn't very creative relying too much on that overhead right hand to get in a lucky shot so he can combo his opponent out. Devon on the other hand is a much better boxer and looks more physically fit to be a great champion to me (body type).

So he didn't look perfect at welterweight against an undefeated welterweight puncher and he still virtually shut him out. I don't see how he's overrated. I think he's rated where he's supposed to be rated. It's not like you can go outside and talk to a random person about Timothy Bradley either so he's not known like that. Only hardcore boxing fans know him and rate him.

he's still the man to beat at 140lbs...

over-rated? no

over-hyped? maybe
