Does Bradley deserve respect now?

[Bernard_Hopkins]

when did he not deserve it?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I have been on the bradley band wagon for years,,,

watched him as a youngster,,

have said repeatedly that he was a p4p guy with names like this on resume:

vasquez
witter overseas for a belt
holt
cherry
undefeated prime peterson
undefeated prime abregu
undefeated prime alexander
casamoyer - old and shot but another champ
campbell- head butts ruined it, but he was on his way to beating up nate
ruslan
jmm
and the manny gift


Bradley just doesnt know how to lose,, plain as that

Bradley deserved respect before ever touching down at 147.

[Jupiter Maximus]

Of course he does, beat two ATGs, albeit one controversially.

As far as the thread goes. Bradley just fought Pacquiao, Provodnikov and Marquez back to back to back. He was in a fight of the year with Ruslan and bounced right back to outbox Marquez and win a clear decision.

If you don't respect that then go **** yourself. Since he's signed to Top Rank he's earned almost $12 million and he's still going. Can't wait to see what 2014 has in store for him.

Hope he's not out too long, but he deserves a rest. Hopefully he'll be back before the end of spring

Why did you mention him as if he's some HOF'er, ATG or even known as a very good fighter? What has he proven to be mentioned in the same sentence as Marquez and Pacquiao?

Alvarado/Provodnikov seems like the obvious next fight. I think Bradley/Alvarado would be a good fight with Alvarado potentially being on a solid winning streak.

Yes. I referred to Provodnikov as an ATG/HOF'er. You got me there.

Not from me. But I appreciated his performance last night in a general sense.. I was a serious Bradley fan at one point for one major reason; his warrior spirit. I'll never get over the cowardice he showed (by his standards) against Pacquiao.. Even last night he clearly took his foot off the gas and fought Marquez extremely cautious in the final quarter.. Watching Bradley out-athletic his opponents and pitty pat his way to points victories isn't my thing. I'm over this guy.

Why was he not respected in the first place?
