Why is timothy bradley not a big draw in boxing?

[BillyBoxing]

No charisma, doesn't have much of a story. That and how boxing works.

I also think he ain't that good.

140 is a very overrated and overrated division,they have 2 US and a brit star.

That's how boxing works as well.

hes not a big draw because there's nothing special about him. he's just a good al round fighter with no punch. i don't see ay reason why he should be a draw. only a few special talents are draws in boxing today...unfortunately

It's his style. Bradley doesnt have alot of power and he doesnt seem to have any special talent about him. Iv'e only seen his fight with Witter but he looked like a guy who just was very well rounded and hungry for success. He also leads alot with his head which is offputting to alot of people. There is a simular thing with Andre Ward.

People were very excited about Devon Alexander because he looked as though he could become a special talent. With Bradley, He's undefeated but he doesnt have the exciting style or charisma that makes him stand out.

But if he keeps winning. Things will improve for him.

no special talent????wow

Really puzzles me. The guy deserves better. He is the #1 at 140 yet others sell more. Might have something to do with the fact that he doesn't knock people out that often?

[infamous larryx]

people say aint nothing special about bradley???lol...the man has pretty good defense and is a good counter puncher

Also he doesn't have some nationalistic base behind him in addition to him having just a nice personality though he has been calling out ppl, him trying to be brash just seems phony and forced.

he fights in that little 2000 seat venue while other boxers in the 140 pound division have very big followings alexander just had 9,000 in the lou,amir khan sells big in england,judah still has a big fanbase shown by his last fight in newark,and even victor ortiz had like almost 8,000 fans when he fought maidana so why hasnt bradley been able to bulid a fanbase even in his hometown??

He has an ugly style of fighting. He got no Ko power!! It;s like watching a basketball game which u know nobody can dunk a ball.

Really?

John Duddy(was a draw) and JJC Jr.(Is a draw) are draws because they have special talent?

If you can watch this and say he has no special talent, please lay off the bottle/piff:



Sure he's not the biggest puncher in the world, but he's got amazing reflexes and when he's boxing he's pretty hard to hit. He's also quick, throws good counter punches isn't scared to throw combinations against any fighter. And while he doesn't knock fighters out, he shakes them up and drops them a lot. He had Witter, Peterson, Campbell and Abregu wobbling all over the ring. And he attracts to both boxing and brawling fans (in his prospect days they called him "The Blaxican" lol.

He isn't as big of a draw as Khan and Alexander because of his promoter, and also the fact that they're from areas where boxing is bigger. Heck, Cory Spinks was probably a bigger draw than Floyd Mayweather at one point in their careers. And I'm sure Ricky Hatton was too. If he beats them then I guarantee he'll blow up. But since when are all big draws skilled? There are plenty of bums in boxing with big followings.

I am going to be very honest, it has nothing to do with him or his style or him "lacking skills" (which is the DUMBEST **** SOMEONE POSTED )

he is in CALIFORNIA! Not even Mosley was able to become a Major Draw in California unless he was fighting a Mexican Fighter, in California it is extremely tough to become a draw ESPECIALLY if you are not a Latino fighter, no one is screaming Racism or saying California is Racist but it is what it is, you have to KNOW YOUR MARKET and California is not a good Market for him or his style, Mosley eventually become a little bit of a draw and he earned the respect because of his style and beating Oscar twice, Mosley can fight using that Mexican Warrior style especially in his prime but with MUCH FASTER HANDS, that is why he does so well against fighters that fight coming foward

you have to find your market, just like Vic Ortiz moved from Kansas to California and made California his adopted home because California is a great market for a Latino fighter such as himself, you also have to be bold and give people a reason to watch you

that nice guy **** is boring in boxing, like Mayweather or not he makes boxing fun especially the build up for the fight and the Press Conferences and the Weight In's, that is why he makes the money that he makes and others DON'T

Bradley needs to get more BOLD and MORE VOCAL and calling people out after his last fight was a step in the right direction, he needs to do that more though and get the **** out of California, maybe move to Vegas and try to build a fanbase their
