    PS. NICE SIG
    Can't argue with that. Just feel like Bradley could have made the fight much easier for himself by boxing Ruslan from the outside as he did with great success in some of the rounds.

Im saying all this and im a known Bradley fan. Tim fought a dumb fight to please the critics and casual boxing fans who say he is boring and a runner. He may have earned a shot at Marquez for this performance though.

      Exactly,Bradley can not make 140 lbs anymore. He is a champion at WW,like it or not. He is a good fighter at any weight and 7 lbs is a good lunch and some water fellas...lol

        I want to see one more fight at 147 before I say that. I'm certainly wondering it though.

          Their ALL small! Welters are currently 5' 6 1/2" and 143 to 145 in shape!
          He fits right in, he has better conditioning than most and he has a lions heart! Thats proven. Ray

            Bradley weighed in at 146.6 with about 3% bodyfat. He was as lean as he could be. The Russian was not fat but he was not nearly as lean as Bradley. If Bradley is a 140 pounder where is the 7 pounds of extra weight?

                Did you forget Bradley turned down a fight with Gamboa at 140 or a catchweight? Stop the excuses man.

                  He should have never left 140. Should have fought Khan for the undisputed 140 champ and be in a division thats really hot right now

                  Yea i know he moved up for the Pac fight and pretty much anyone would but i always wanted him at 140

                    this. he was less mobile cause he bulked up in an attempt to stop his opponent like his trainer said. Also give provodnikov credit, he was cutting the ring off beautifully forcing Tim to fight. on other occasions Tim chose to fight because his pride got the best of him. 5'6 he may be, but he's a strong, very muscular guy and I really don't see him making 140 again, Im just not sure how healthy he'll be.

                    I dont know if some of what you're saying is based on some kind of agenda, discredit provodnikov or I don't know, suppose pacquiao (the guy you hate) fights Bradley next...Bradley's shot now? But as for him not being the same, I think he'll be alright, not like he's been in many wars. guerrero took some serious shots from berto, some nasty uppercuts that turned his ****ing head 90 degrees continuously, do you think he'll be diminished going into the Floyd fight?
