Actually I'm basing it on what I've seen throughout his whole career. He's an ordinary fighter with extraordinary will. His mental toughness got him through fights against mentally weak fighters like Alexander and Holt. It wasn't his amazing skill because he doesn't have any.
He looked like a novice against what is looking increasingly like a pretty faded Pacquaio. And he got knocked around the ring by a basic fighter in Provodnikov. The wheels are finally coming off.
This sounds more like what your wishing for,tbh..Then what's actually happening..
Not really,it's boxing..If you don't believe the thought of losing passes through every fighters mind then you don't know shhit..I'd even have to question if you've ever been in a fight..
Oh and make no mistake..Many love to say that quote,yet never talk what it was in reference too..It was about Shaw!!!and the scary possibility of being stuck with him should he have lost..
Yet none of the(so-called)know it all's like to mention it..Why??Cause then it sheds light that Khan fought a D level fighter instead of Bradley..Signed contracts(safety net)then was ready to go..Bradley had other plans,that involved millions..See how that works,it's a thing called business..Khan thought he was smarter then the average bear..Look where both careers are at today..
Very true words boss. Numbers don't lie. People say Tim should've signed with Golden boy, but he's made 7-8 million in 3 fights with Top Rank, and is about to make another 3-5 against Marquez. With Golden boy you'd have to win the Mayweather lottery twice to make that kind of paper. If he beats Marquez easily, we need to push for Bradley vs. Mayweather regardless of Bob's agenda. Either way once his contract is up, he'll be financially secure enough to go to Golden Boy, or call his own shots.

As much as I would love that,I doubt it happens..If Bradley should beat Marquez(which is not easy task Marquez is a beast)and Manny beats Rios..I see Pac's team offering Bradley a lot of money for a rematch..Bradley is going to take the sure money..Bradley is in a good position with TR tbh,he has a lot of fights I would not mind seeing..Also fights that can generate good bank..
I will say this not in defense of Bradley but Provodnikov. Yes he fought on ESPN FNF because he wasn't a big name, but Provodnikov was not a fight Bradley should have took. High risk, low reward. Think about Adonis Stevenson vs. Dawson. Bradley had the same mindset as Dawson (unknown guy coming up in weight to fight me? He doesn't stand a chance) But we see what happened to Dawson. So don't rag on Tim, because for 1) Provodnikov would give a lot of people besides Floyd trouble at 147lb, and 2)Bradley underestimated his opponent because he wasn't known and came out to prove a point. Tim Bradley has the heart of a Lion, that's why he didn't end up like Dawson, no matter how close it came.
