Tim Bradley a new Boxing Superstar?

[billeau2]

In my opinion Bradley is the fighter of the future....and shows everything that is wrong with the modern era of fighters. Lets take his last two fights prior to Marquez...I would add the Marquez fight frankly, but thats just me.....All of these fights would have greatly profited from being 15 round fights. Lacking the championship rounds allowed for some of the scoring contraversy.

Bradley does not fluster his opponents like a Pernell Whitaker, nor does he outclass them...he somehow manages to throw more punches than they do.
COmpubox loves guys like Bradley. instead of accurarte punches that hurt and stop the opponent in his tracks Bradley pittar pats more.

And what of ring generalmanship? in the marquez fight Bradley did not control Marquez...Marquez missed a few too many times with his counters.

When I think of boxingnsuperstars I think of guys that show skills and beat the opposition...not by virtue of compubox pitter pat scores....but with effective domination. Ward tearing up inside, Mayweather countering accurately, etc. Bradley has none of these qualities. Bradley is tough, he is nice, but hardly a superstar.

Superstar? No.

He will never reach Floyd/Manny or even Cotto level superstardom.

But he's earned $12 million in 4 fights since signing with Top Rank and is top 3-4 pound for pound on almost every major list. He is separating himself from the rest of the fighters of his era.

He's in-between IMO he's a true main event fighter; but fans won't line-up to see him fight

He will never be a boxing superstar.

So basically he's a star but not a superstar

I agree,Bradley is going to have to take care of his money,so he can retire early..He also will never be a superstar,just not that likable(even tho I love him)..He'll be in plenty of big fights,and make good money in the business of boxing..Yet superstar he will never be..

Bradley will never be a huge star. Unless he fights someone like Mayweather, Pac or JMM, he will never fight on ppv again either.

Here is what I think.We all surrounded by casual fans,I have asked all of them and nobody wants another mayweather,that is why broner and bradley IMO will never be a star.Broner its copying mayweather but in a way more vulgar(see his instragarm with the girls sucking on him)Bradley its very athletic but he tried in this fight(Marquez) to be the bad guy and since most fans think he lost his last 2 fights,they didn't like that change of attitude...The only way Bradley I think would be a star its by changing his style,but when he tried he almost got KO,I am pretty sure if pac wins,there will be a bradley rematch and bradley will lose and that will be his last big payday of bradley..BTW i like the guy.
