    Why? It's not like Bradley was a huge underdog. It was not so long ago that Khan tried to fight Marquez who turned down the fight and people were saying that Khan was picking on a smaller, old man. He KO'd Pacquaio in a fight he was losing and people made him favourite over Bradley. In reality, Bradley should have been the favourite against a 40 year old career smaller fighter. And his performance wasn't even impressive.

    Lets not forget he looked like crap (arguably lost if not for shady referring) against Provodnikov and Pacquaio actually looked bored with how comfortably he was beating him. Bradley to me is the luckiest fighter in boxing at the moment. He gets wins and fights he shouldn't get. His performances are mostly lacklustre yet he's rated 3rd in the world most likely because he's American.
    Marquez KO'd Pacquiao, who was universally regarded as one of the Top 2-3 fighters in the sport. Bradley then beat Marquez handily, and clearly. That win was big.

    On a side note, can't wait for Crawford-Burns. I wonder why Ricky Burns ducked Broner for so long, that potentially could have been him exposing Broner, not Maidana.

      handily???I scored it a draw against Marquez, but have no quarms bout the decision as I thought Marquez didn't fight his kind of fight.

      As Dirk once again states, Bradley is one of the luckiest(most protected) fighters ever.

      I honestly will be amazed his he lasts more than 3 fights as champion.

      Hopkins and Mayweather have what 4 fights left???

      So you cpuld argue 3 world champs could be gone in the next 3 years from the USA

        Ricky Burns is **** in all honesty. UK fans have known this for years. He has actually done tremendously well just to win a world title, let alone defend it several times. I don't know why Americans act like he has some groundswell of approval amongst British fans. He is popular in Scotland and they are people who are drunk 24 hours a day.

        I don't think it was handily or clearly. I don't know how anyone can say that. Marquez outlanded him in power shots. It was a close fight. Bradley did not dominate at any point.

        See above why Burns ducked Broner. He was never beating Broner.

          Yeah Boxing Without The USA...yeah that would be great for the sport of boxing right *SARCASM* Dumb A$$!

          Currently Top 3 P4P Is: Floyd Mayweather, Andre Ward and Timothy Bradley...yeah USA is in SERIOUS TROUBLE OMG...what will they do...

          Broner losing does not effect American Boxing in any way shape or form, that was just one of many young talents in boxing America has and he wasn't even the best or the most talented out of the young fighters he as just the loudest

            Is Ricky the best under the JWW limit in the UK?

              And Pacquiao supposedly out landed Marquez in the third fight, using compubox as your argument is HORRIBLE. I didn't even realize it was a hard fight to score, Maruqez won 4 rounds, maybe 5. Clear Bradley win. Clear as day. He did the better work over the course of the fight.

                I would probably say someone like Carl Frampton is. Off the top of my head.

                  I wasn't using computbox, I was using my eyes. Bradley outjabbed Marquez, Marquez landed harder shots. I was actually surprised to see that he landed more shots according to compubox.

                      Its been happening in the other sports like tennis Golf, American pool, etc. But nothing is as scary as the decline of American boxing. With no Heavy weight champions since 1996, and no Medals(not one) in the 2012 Olympics, If any American cannot see the long term decline of Boxing in their country then they are kidding themselves.

                      I have always said Broner was a fraud, and he is on the list of Ameericans not only losing but being ran out of boxing. So ill compile a list in the recent years. Your best fighters are Floyd, Ward, Hopkins, and Bradley with Garcia a close 4th. Floyds is 37 soon and has 4 fights left which we all know he wont be able to honour and WILL LOSE. Hopkins is sandwiched between Adonis Stevenson and Sergey Kovalev at age 48. Lets be honest, hes either retiring or hes out of there. And Timothy Bradley hasn't won his last 3 fights. He got beat down by many pac, and Horrible beat down by RUslan and a draw against Marquez. Its only a matter of time before he gets schooled by khan or Garcia(Also an American). Mattyse could also school him imo.


                      Here s alist of "propsects" and active High profile American fighters getting ran out of boxing.

                      Seth Mitchell
                      ANdre dirrell
                      Curtis stevens
                      Danny Jacobs
                      Alan green
                      Adrian Broner
                      Kelly pavlik
                      eddie chambers
                      kevin Mitchel
                      Tony Thompson(like this dude, great fighter)
                      Chad Dawson

                      Predicted ticking time bomb additions-Timothy bradely


                      Stay tuned.
