Fantastic comeback.

Although you look skinny, you virtually KO'ed him with your wit. Mind boggling.

Tim Bradley is one of the most ripped fighter's I've ever seen.

Muscle don't mean ****. Although having the extra weight to turn in to your punches can help.

Some fighters were both ripped and hard hitters, Roy Jones comes to mind.

He has amazing genetics, I hate to put things down to genetics whenever someone is jacked, since it has more to do with grueling work and diet, but Timmy has extremely full muscle bellies and insertions. I beautiful work of nature he is.

True. He'd make a very good bodybuilder. Incredible symmetrical abs and very high peak to the biceps. He's just generally chiselled as hell and obviously responds well to, uh, 'supplementation'.

But as a boxer he's sort of cartoonish looking. His biceps, whilst amazing, rise higher than his delts, his clavicles are rather narrow and his upper chest isn't as developed as you'd expect in a fighter of his general musculature. Can't recall what his legs look like but I don't remember them being especially incredible. Back isn't amazing either, relative to his front.

He's obviously a strong guy, and could most likely pump out some high numbers in the gym, but having power is a combination of technique and flawless full body mechanics, things which it sometimes looks like Bradley lacks.

He also tends to slap, especially with the left. Being ripped isn't always necessary for power. Look at someone like Pavlik, he's generally soft looking but throws bombs.

I wouldn't say Bradley slaps exactly, not like Zags did anyway. But he does tend to flurry and lunge with shots before he's properly set his feet, and he seems to lack that upper level explosiveness that a lot of great punchers have/had. He also seems to lack... sharpness, for want of a better word. Marquez, in comparison, almost always sets his feet when he throws, and seems to have the mindset of striking his fist precisely at a target rather than merely swinging his fist in its path. Dunno, maybe I'm just imagining that, but I definitely think there's something to be said for those martial arts concepts of focusing chi and all that jazz.

Bradley looks carved up. No way is that mostly water weight.

They mean a lot, but only in the right places. Legs and lets or legs and core tend to produce a lot of good punchers. As does technique, of course.
