    Timothy Bradley decided he needed new promoters while driving through the deserted streets of frigid Detroit in a rented van last January.

    Bradley has to look beyond impressive!! Poor lad has a lot of pressure on him to perform and Casa can be difficult to look good against.

      Bradley is not a star because he's dorkier than any fighter around. Dude is strait out of an scifi/anime convention.

      Does he think Don King was the reason Devon could draw 12k in STL and Bradley only a few hundred? Wrong.

      Bradley's right; he isn't shining like Khan is and Alexander was. But that doesn't have anything to do with their promoters.

        spot on my colleague, spot on. . . he will never be a star. . . unless he beats pac or mayweather which ain't happening. . . while he does have ability, he's not that entertaining. . . he has no personality - he doesn't have the good guy/hero thing or bad guy persona. . .

        he should have fought khan under shaw, and then got out. . . i don't see why he couldn't take one more fight with shaw for that kind of money? only explanation: he wasn't confident enough to beat khan, and he knows the LAST thing he needs is a loss with his already horrendous "following"

          Bradley doesn't have an attractive style of fighting. Doesn't have any power and in the era of the volume-puncher doesn't through many combinations. He just head-butts oponents into oblivion...

          This clown is just being used as a lamb by Arum to feed to Manny next year...

            I'd say Bradley is LITERALLY best known for having a ginormous, pointy shaped dome-piece that is UBER-DANGEROUS! He is so short he can get under opponents reach and EXPLODE upwards right into the tissue around the eye - he's pinpoint accurate with that head! AND NOW, for being a ducker. . . The last thing he will be known for (when/if he fights Pac), is getting an ass whipping. I just hope he doesn't get Manny with that damn head.

              He is a good fighter, I just hope he doesn't win in another head butt ending.

                Bradley is a really solid fighter, was most impressed by his victory over Peterson, but I just don't see him as a superstar... He has a ways to go IMO

                I sometimes get the feeling he thinks he is already a star but his style just isn't captivating to people... Let's see what happens with his time at Top Rank

                  Agree - he is a solid fighter, very awkward and has his own style. . . but i just don't see him as a superstar - top rank and bradley definitely have a ways to go like you said (if he were to become one).

                  He does - he thinks he is "above" having to take on high risk type fights. . . Like he thought he deserved to keep fighting gimme's on HBO for a million a pop?! It turned out Alexander wasn't the risk we all thought he was, but still, Bradley was acting like he was "above" being forced into a fight like that. . .

                    Tri-fist Bradley has a ways to go to please fans. I look forward to his next fights. No ifs, ands, or butts.
