Comments Thread For: Marquez, Bradley Battle Over Rehydration Clause, Testing

[radioraheem]

Bradley usually weighs like near 150-160. He fought provodnikov at 160 and said he had more weight than usual. Marquez doesnt have the belt, he isnt the champion, he shouldnt be trying to restrain a guy who has weighed a max of 160 when he is the challenger. He has no right and shouldnt be in the welterweight division if he cant handle it. That is boxing atm.

Lol. Are you kidding me? Bradley had to come down from 185 lbs. That's been reported already. 185 lbs! Bradley walks HEAVY. Faaaaar from 147 lbs. Many of these fighters fight more than 20 lbs below their walk around weight. And this is what I'm trying to tell you -- it's a circus act. It makes a mockery out of weight divisions. You shouldn't have to lose a ton of weight just to fight! Lol. It's so backwards, and such a joke.

But that's the game right now.

Up till Ruslan, Bradley never sniffed 160, not even 155.

I can't believe you actually just said that when in a different thread 5 mins ago a guy got slaughtered by NSB posters for saying Bradley was 180 rofl. He got to 180 because he fell into depression after the pacquaio fight ya numpty. He has never came in over 160 at fight night. I bet u think ricky hatton was a 200 pound fighter since he was a phat fk between fights. It dont mean anything lol.... jesus christ.

No, that's right. Pac has just asked for what actually affects a fighters performance. Rehydration clauses are how things should be done for all title fights. It's better for the fighters health and doesn't ruin their bodies or performance.

Whatever Marquez did, KO Pac I'm guessing, shouldn't make you lose sight of ****ing reality mate.

You forget that Marquez too has asked for CWs.

Also funny in that the poster mentions "Manny and Floyd" but you can't get yourself to bring up Floyd's name in a negative way BUT you have no problem using Manny in a negative way.

I will do it for you since you just can't: So I guess you are admitting to Floyd asking for a CW on Canelo that "will actually affect Canelo's performance". Right?

I think Marquez has always been quid pro quo. Sure he'll do this if you do that, most of us are the same way. Maybe he doesn't want to simply cave into demand or do something for free. Maybe its the accountant in him. Regardless, at least this is coming out now instead of later or on fight night, a lot of you are acting like the fight is this weekend, there's time to figure this out.

That's ******. That's the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life. If you're clean take the tests. Plain and simple. I just think it’s dumb. I can't weight 10 pounds over? We fighting for the Welterweight championship baby. This ain't no catch weight. This ain't no 143, no, this is 147” Bradley would tell BoxingScene.

If you are 10 lb over, you are fighting at jr middleweight not at welterweight. I really wish there was same day weigh ins. If you make the weight but can't fight at the weight limit, then you don't belong in that division.

Sounds like somebody doesn't really want to go through with random testing. Bradley should just call his bluff.

Ok. Lol. So let's see what Tim Bradley says, direct from the horses mouth:

Article Link - http://www.boxingscene.com/tim-bradl...n-fight--49406

“A lot of people think I'm the smaller guy, that I'm the little guy,” Bradley told hometown paper The Desert Sun. “This is what the public doesn't realize, when I was 16, I didn't fight at 118. I fought at 152 pounds when I was 16. I naturally walk around at 160, 165 pounds.

Bradley was even being quite generous when he said 160 lbs. Lol. He knows damned well he don't walk around there, but higher. Hence him mentioning 165 immediately. Lol.

People on here are a freaking joke

[Rome-By-Ko]

I don't believe Bradley will weigh more then 157lb anyway..I just think Bradley does not wanna bend to Marquez on the matter..I don't blame him either..Drug testing is for both fighters,this rehydration clause is for Marquez alone..

Please explain, you've obviously taken offense but haven't offered anything substantial in return.
