    "I do everything average" Tim Bradley

    There was an interview a few years ago where Bradley said the same statment that I've been looking for for a while but haven't been able to find.

    Here's a new one from a few days ago where he say's it again. 3:10.



    I see a a few people who often said Bradley is exceptional in every area. I don't see that at all. Like Bradley say's, he's average in every area, he does everything well. I don't think there's anything any area other than conditioning that he's excpetional in.

    In the old interview, he highlights "There is nothing I do exceptionally well but I do everything well". If anything has it, please share it.

    I do like the mean streak Bradley has been on though. He seems to have a chip on his sholder.

      What he does exceptionally well is his conditioning... which everything else feeds off of and why he is so successful.. without that conditioning his streak would of ended with that Holt left hook.

        Agreed. His conditioning is excpetional. That's the one part of his game I would say is exceptional.

        Bradley is solid in ever area IMO but that's it.

            It's his intangibles that are exceptional... His will and determination to win, his refusal to lose (Holt fight again), hell even when he was outgunned against Pacquiao, he still kept trying, kept pumping that jab, and stayed busy, and yeah his conditioning.

              I don't think so.

              I think it's good, not great.

              I think that's the case for Bradley in every area.

              And that's not a knock on him, there's pretty much no one else you can say that about in the sport and that's why he's done what he's done so far.

                I was about to say this Bradley has well above average stamina. He's insanely conditioned.

                    Ah yes, his mentality is very good also.

                    I love that about Bradley. I'm not a Bradley fan but I like him.

                    Mentally, he's one of the best. He's one of the hardest workers in the sport. His will to win is great. I admire those about Bradley.

                    But, I see people saying Bradley has exceptional footwork, speed, skills, counter punching, defense etc and I just don't see that at all. And neither does Bradley.
