Bradley was the favourite in both of those fights.

    Obviously he is going to be the underdog against Pacquaio and Marquez. That isn't saying much.
    I did find some articles stating the Bradley was a -260 fav against Alexander and a -200 fav against Peterson....you may have been right about those two fights but the overwhelming opinion in here (probably where I was drawing my conclusion from) was that Bradley would lose.

            Hopefully he's that same Tim against Marquez. That Provo fight was brutal, I do wonder if he'll be affected.

              I think as long as he wants to be the best, he will give it 100% and be fine. Tim hasn't taken a lot of punishment in his career, so I think he'll survive and recoup his capacities.

                Extremely overrated. It's not because I dislike him, either. Frankly I want him to succeed. The guy's hard working, honest, and is a family man. He's a great athlete and role model. At the same time, however, I still haven't seen anything amazing from him. He was battered by an unethusiastic Pacquiao and went life-and-death against an unknown Provo***ov.

                He hasn't had the level of competition which would define him as great, or even good, because of Top Rank's pathetic stable. At the same time, he's been lackluster ever since he entered the spotlight against Manny.

                That's just my two cents.

                  Overrated. Lost to pacman, lost to Ruslan.

                  Best win is junior Witter and Devon Alexander.

                  Ran from Amir khan. He's got no power, medium skills and speed, good heart though, solid chin.

                  But basically I would rather watch grass grow than put myself through the misery of watching another Tim Bradley fight.

                    If only we had men of your genius post in the Amir Khan threads.

                    Just the fact that ring has him top p4p and people speak of him as a possible opponent for Mayweather in the future makes him extremely overrated. He still hasn't done anything special yet, other than rob the two best guys he faced.
