Comments Thread For: Bradley Says Provodnikov Win Earned New Respect

[$Bullsfam$]

So bradley is better than PAC because he got one of the worst Due bent decisions courtesy of Arum.

if you scored that for bradley lol.

wheelchair champ

Nobody said he's better then Pac. This whole thread is about respect and obviously Tim has earned it. He wouldn't have a better resume then Pac but he definitely would have the better win of the two since Marquez at the very least is a top 100 all time great fighter. And Manny could only beat him with a robbery of his own, so payback's a biiiitch.

He could possibly top Pac if he kept winning for the next couple years and stayed on top beating top competition. Bradley is definitely capable of being game any given night against anybody because he's one of the most well rounded fighters in the sport. He doesn't always have to be the bully and doesn't always have to be the technician. He's not great at least but he's good at both with good speed and athleticism not to mention a rock solid chin. Can't question his heart either.

Which is why I love this fight this weekend against two warriors with a never say die attitude.

Yes it will be a great fight this weekend.

I just dont agree with logic of putting bradley ahead of pac on p4p list. Pac and Bradley need a rematch at some point if Tim wants to claim a real win.

[Weebler I]

If Tim somehow can stop Juan Manuel Marquez by TKO, I think he moves clearly into the driver seat to fight Floyd Mayweather. It just depends when Tim's contract is over with Top Rank.

Middle of next year (Tim's words).

A win over Marquez should put him top 10 PFP, I don't think he's on most of the PFP lists (even tho he's on Ring's).

Can't even front. Bradley went through hell and back giving us one of the best wars of the year so he definitely had to have earned your respect.

If he beats Marquez their are no if and's or but's he is a legit GREAT fighter and deserves the #2 P4P spot with an argument for #1

No, not even top 5

He got shut out by Pacquiao, arguably lost to Ruslan the #10 JWW and if he gets by Marquez it will be at his worst weight class at 40 years old.

that's not #2 or #1 P4P material.

Marquez is P4P #2 though and to be the man you got to beat the man and right now Pac is not the man anymore. Not to mention him fighting Rios instead of Alvarado is worst then Bradley almost losing to Ruslan. But if Pac smashes Rios in 4 rounds, and Bradley can clearly beat Marquez, then I wouldn't mind Pac-Bradley 2 to claim the #2 spot again, but even then if Pac beats him then would that make Pac #2 or would we back to the same spot we are now where he needs to rematch Marquez for that spot since Marquez stopped him big time?

My logic is just going by what he did this year. Pac is really a big question mark right now because of how brutally he loss and taking on Rios instead of Alvarado even though Rios is worth more money then Alvarado. But of course money runs boxing.

No but Bradley was THE guy at 140 and became champ in two weight classes whether we disagree with the decision for the second weight class but a win over marquez would legitimize him. And if ruslan ran through alvarado who pac should have fought helps bradley.

But lets not pretend bradleys some random mediocre guy that came out of nowhere like buster. Two completely different stories.

[The Surgeon]

He's right it did earn him a new level of respect, he showed a supernatural level of balls and heart in there!

Regardless of what happens on Saturday night, Id have Tim Bradley on my War Team anyday! He has an Unbelievable Engine, Outstanding Recovery, good fighting instincts, Incredible heart and is as Tenacious as the come, the guy is a terrier in there


Dont mistake that for some fanboy post, im well aware of his limitations but a man with Bradley's qualities Deserves his repect

[bambam182]

are you pac roid ******s still upset marquez whooped pacmans ass????? funny how all the pacman fans say marquez is on roids. then that means donaire is also and berto and ward since they work with conte. like you guys say "once a cheater always a cheater" if you guys say that memo can pass tests then so can conte. besides pac roid was the one moving up weight divisions super fast and whacking guys harder. once he got used to the weight pacman got off the roids which explains why he doesnt hit as hard as before.

[bambam182]

funny how the pacman fans cry robbery about the tim bradley fight, now they know how the marquez fans feel after pacman robbed marquez 3 times before.
