How the hell can people hate on Tim Bradley??

[BetterCallSaul]

Been a Bradley fan for some years now. He absolutely IS a great fighter. The thing that plagues him is his lack of power. Unfortunately he actually showed some power in this last fight, its just that it was against a gut with an iron jaw. Provodniklov is a tough out for anyone. He's going to make some serious noise at 147. He reminds me of Katsidas, just much, much tougher. He's gonna stop some guyts in the top 3 or 4 of the division. That will be the measuring stick for which we measure Bradley. Bradley beat this tough guy that KO'd some guys in the top 3 or 4.

Trouble is nobody wants any parts of provodnikiv now. he did himself a disservice by beaing too good.

If Bradley is a great fighter then you have to put Judah, Matthysse, Alexander, Khan, Garcia, Guerrero and Maidana in that bracket too. Great is a term that is used too loosely these days.

Please stop, just stop.

He got boo'ed in his own home state so the last thing he should be worried about is some forum users.

If boxing was Game of Thrones, then Bradley would be Theon Greyjoy.

Hes got his own skillset and goes about things with spirit, but he will never be forgiven for stabbing his Stark brothers in the back/robbing Manny.

Bit of a farout comment but the Game of Thrones show is starting again in 2 weeks so its the only thing I am thinking of currently.

he actually thinks he beat pacquiao

this wasnt the question... Smh

bradley is a damn good fighter i like his mentality in and out of the ring, hes not great but hes something to appreciate for sure!!!

[boliodogs]

I always liked him as a fighter inside the ring. I have no trouble disliking him outside the ring for the things he says and does. I can give you a long list of reasons I don't like Bradley outside the ring but you seem to like him so much that I don't think you want to hear anything negative about him.

I actually became a Bradley fan Saturday night. He persevered through adversity, hung in there, fought, adjusted mid rounds all while the dude was hurt for most of the fight. Props to him.

I think people in general are can be too cynical when it comes to Fighters.

I don't think it was a matter of fighting dumb. I think he was hurt bad in round 1 and never recovered. It's hard to keep a guy like Ruslan off you for 12 rounds and the fact Bradley only went down once is amazing. (well he should have been given a knockdown round 1)

I think it was a matter of styles, Ruslan comes forward with a great chin and inside is a really good fighter.

I tell you what, if Bradley had power he would have put Ruslan on his ass. He better not think he will be able to walk through punches when he fights somebody with some power.

Me too. We love that show at my house. I am looking forward to the great fights coming up but Game of Thrones is always great to me. We have watched every episode 2 or 3 times.

Damn good fight,warrior

Bradley fought his way to where he is at. He is a tough outing for any top fighter. He is a solid fighter with a very decent resume. His win against Pac I don't agree with but he did a good account of himself in that fight.

His lack of power is his downfall but his heart and conditioning are second to none.
