With a little more pressure, Devon would have ran out of gas by the 10th.By watching the fight, you could tell that Tim was the more experienced fighter. His style and determination will give any fighter problems.I can honestly see him beating an older Mayweather. It would be a close one, but I think he would out work him because he has the younger legs and is the hungrier fighter.His skill level by no means matches Floyd's, but he has enough to not be dominated by them. Plus, I don't see Floyd throwing enough punches or hurting Tim.Now with Manny, it would be a totally different situation. Manny has the power to KO Tim.But Tim is the better boxer in my opinion. If Tim boxes and make Manny come to him, he could keep Manny turning and out slick him. But if he follows Manny around the ring and lets him dart in and out, he would get caught by numerous of big shots. Plus, I just think that Roach is a better trainer than Diaz.But Tim is like Floyd. He is undefeated and so far there is no blueprint on how to beat him.
    Bradley put just the right amount of pressure on Alexander because any more and he just would have been wreckless. Im sure the Urango fight was talked about and they had it in mind to use pressure but to make sure that it was intelligent pressure.

      Bradley fought a really good fight people need to STFU. It was Alexander that did'nt come prepared did'nt have the heart. Bradley fought very well. The guy is starting to get that Hagler look to him.

        Great point. People keep doubting bradley, sure he doesnt possess great power, technical skills, footwork, good chin. But he is a warrior!! He has a huge heart and knows how to win. He is polar opposite to someone like victor ortiz. Ortiz has the power, skills, footwork and technical ability yet lacks heart. Now look at there two careers so far?

        I think it's time to start taking little bradley seriously.

            I dont Bradley is a bum at all, nor do I think any man that steps in the ring period is a bum. However you cannot tell me with a straight face that he is the best right now. He will not do so hot against Pacquiao, I can pretty much guarantee that. For that matter, I dont thiunk he will get past Khan, and I am not a Khan fan. Bradley is quite technically flawed, and still is far too wide with some of his hots, especially in combination( remember the Kendall Holt fight). But, he is a warrior and fights the best he can get in with, and I like that. Fact is though, alot remains to be seen. But I give him all respect and wish him well, and Ill be rooting for him against Khan......but Bradley is not this superior fighter that some of yall are trying to say, but he does have a superior will. And anyone that has ever been in the ring can agree with this.........hard work beats talent that hardly works, and Bradley's attitude reflects that of a champion. Nuff respect!!! But, let's see what happens with Khan......Hopefully the DesertStorm stays

Most of Bradleys fights have been fine to watch and the guy has some good skills and has built up a good resume for his age. Everyone said Khan was a joke after the Prescott knockout and now suddenly he is the next ATG. People are to short-sighted at times. Styles make fights and its annoying when so many people say "he will get killed" "he is a bum" i have heard that so many times and the guys they criticise actually win. Until Bradley has fought the likes of Khan or Pac we wont know what will happen so give the guy a break.
              timmah isn't that good. he's an overacheiver.

                  Bradley was the one trying to make the fight and taking all of the chances, I thought it was an interesting fight and it was more Devon than anyone slowing things down.

                  Bradley clearly won and is now the man at 140 until someone beats him.

                    No he's not. He's very mediocre and really an overachiever like pull said.

                    140 is all about Khan, Maidana and Mathysse.

                    All spark out Bradley.

                      Until they beat him he is #1 he has the best resume of anyone at 140, Khan should maybe stop ducking a Prescott rematch since as everyone says its so easy and there is more demand for that fight for him than against any other fighter.
