What is it about Timothy Bradley that holds back his popularity???

[Ray*]

Maybe because he doesn't have KO power? But then again Mosley had KO power and he still wasnt that popular enough to sell fights on his own.

A Khan fight would go a lot of ways to help him get the "Little" niggling feeling that a lot of people have about him out of the way, I really feel he needs that Khan fight to establish himself then move to 147 and start calling people out.

It's because nothing stands out when you watch him fight. Afterwards when he has won again against someone bigger, faster, stronger, etc., people always wonder how.

I honestly believe it's because He's American & what's left of the American fanbase are Hispanic,supporting Hispanic fighters & the Black people are all too busy supporting spoiled cherrypickers like Floyd to bother with a gutter soldier like Bradley.

Considering that Bradley is very short,doesn't have that much power &is almost always at a disadvantage when matched,U gotta admit it's rather amazing that he hasn't lost yet.Heart can go a long way in boxing & Bradley has enough to spare.

This.

I think if more people watch him fight, he can make fans out of them. But like others have said, Shaw hasn't done the best job of doing that.

He's a nice guy. Trains hard and fights hard. But I guess it's because he doesn't punch hard or fast enough for people to truly take notice.

If I had to find an example like him in video games. I would think of him as a Mario in all the Nintendo sports and racing games he's been in. Good at every category but isn't superior. (great heart tho, but you get what I mean.)

Not enough to talk about with people around the water cooler.

But if he keeps winning, everyone will be forced to talk about him.

Popularity?

He has a big ass head
He talks pretty white (c'mon. he does)
He's nerdy as hell

Most importantly: people don't care about him. Networks try to create stars all the time, but at the end of the day they can't control who's popular and who's not with the viewers. HBO can shove him down our throats all day, but he'll never become a star.

Dude comes across as that high school comic/anime nerd guy that went to the gym and got buff, but underneath it all is still a dork.


....Damn, that was pretty mean. But, hey, it's true.
