Why is timothy bradley not a big draw in boxing?

[SkillspayBills]

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.

Damnit I almost forgot just how ****ing well rounded Tim Bradley is. He is so damn well rounded, can fight on the inside, box, counterpunch, move forward and pressure. He will do WHATEVER works and WHATEVER is takes to win. He has that "it" factor, that "I won't lose even if I'm knocked down 100 times" mindset.

LOL,I hear that man, good post!!

yeah and the guy who said bradley has no special talent is full of crap just watch the peterson fight and youll see how much talent bradley really has

[Sweet Jesus]

He weighs 140 pounds.

[King Ju-Ju]

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 isn't exciting and doesn't attract the hardcore fans with his lack of knockouts.

[Story]

He's not Mexican or Puerto Rican and did not fight ODLH.

No personality, not a big puncher, good speed but not that fast and not that slick either. He isn't really an action fighter either and well he doesn't really do anything exceptionally well hes just well rounded.


He's Paul Williams light!

He has talent but not "special" at anything he does. Very well rounded but that makes for a boring fighter. Not trying to diss the guy, just telling the truth.

[Calilloyd]

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.

That's because you're dumb as dirt. And I guess you've never heard of Ortiz and Maidana.

One reason and one reason only and that is he doesnt have punching power. If he had 22 or 23 KO's right now he would be a lot more popular. He has a good personality, he likes to mix it up, he has shown great heart, not sure how he ever got up from that Holt knockdown but he lacks that one thing that is so crucial in boxing and that is crowd pleasing knockout power.

Same reason doubles hitters are not as popular as home run hitters or why shooters arent as popular as dunkers or possession WR's arent as popular as speed WR.
