Comments Thread For: Bradley: Roach is ******ed Comparing Me To Ricky Hatton

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I have to say that it is completely the promoters job to make his fighter into a draw..Help with his image,that's what they are paid for..Look at Floyd when he first started out,he was not a draw..But he had a good team around him to help with image and great with match making...Shaw does not have the power to do either,I doubt Shaw has a PR team..He also can't land Bradley fights with anyone who is a star...Once again,I believe we will respectfully disagree with each other,but I'm of the opinion that Shaw did not do a good or great job with Bradley..He was not willing to spend money,the same goes for other fighters of his,Dawson Darchinny Abregu etc etc..He is the lowest in the promoters pool,and a beggar of fights...When do you ever see this guy in the drivers seat of a negotiation??Never..

Bradley could do his part by actually having a ***in personality or an exiciting fighting style. Something he has neither of. You're asking a promoter to turn **** into gold. He has basically nothing to work with and he still managed to take Bradley to several world title fights and line him up a big money fight with Khan. A pretty good job with mediocre tools.

The reason someone like Shaw is never in the driving seat is because two companies monopolise boxing. Are you not aware of this?

It's also that he negotiation from weakness(which your never suppose to do)..Dibella and Goosen both don't act like Shaw...Both are far better promoters and neither negotiation from weakness..It's bad business..

As far as Bradley's personality,it's a PR's job to help spin a fighters or singers or whatever,it's a PR person's job to help with that..Floyd had it,Khan has it,anyone with a major company backing them has it..Shaw does not,and he will never pay for one either..It's not what Shaw is,can you name the fighter he has brought up and made into a major star??I don't believe you can,main reason is because he does not put money behind his talent period...Devon Alexander has no real personality either,but he did have Don make you a star King in his corner which made a major difference in how Alexander's career went..

To not lay blame with a promoter when a good fighter is not more none is criminal imo...

In reality that 'Russian Guy' could actually KO Bradley.

Bradley has a good personality to me. The potrait of a fighter ep was entertaining. Americans are weird when it comes to supporting boxers.

St. Louis and Oakland are great sports cities thats why Ward and Alexander do well. If Bradley were from either of those places he'd be set.

Or maybe Philly and Ny.

Alexander has a following in St. Louis and his cornerman is his mouthpiece. Bradley actually has nothing to sell. Can you name me one selling point for Bradley? One at all. Just saying that Shaw should promote him better doesn't mean anything. Chad Dawson has the same problem, its not Shaw's fault he's a boring passive ****.

Apparently all you have to do to beat Pacquiao is tell him you want to fight toe to toe. Mosley did it and made him look bad, Marquez did it and most think he beat Pacquiao.

Actually, what Mosley did is pedalled his bike from Rd 5 to 12. Marquez looks good coz he waited like I was watching a different Marquez LMAO

Id actually take Hatton over Bradley in a fight. Hatton matches up well with Bradley inside. Itd be an ugly ass fight though for sure.

Style wise though Bradley has more to offer Pac and Roach should know this.

For as good as Timmy is (and he is very good) he has faults that lay right into Manny's hands

1. he squares to throw
2. he's not very hard to hit
3. he is active lending Manny chances to counter

Timmy will do well in spurts but I think he gets caught awful by a punch he doesn't see and gets stopped

I hate saying that because I can see this being a dogfight because the skill sets and athleticism are about as level as we have seen in a Manny fight in some time but I think Manny will connect on something bad on Timmy

How come Lamont Peterson and Devon Alexander had trouble hitting him then. I saw him dip plenty of shots from both. Pacs hand speed is no faster than Alexander maybe less at this point.

Imma laugh my ass off if Pac KTFO outta Bradley in 2 rounds
