Just like some of the real boxing fans here I was also disgusted last year after the Judges gave the victory to him in his fight against Manny. But since the Provonikov fight I started to root for him. He showed some heart in this fight, and he out boxed Provo in the the 2nd half. And in his last fight he fought very smartly against Juan Manuel Marquez. I love to see him fight Manny again, or even get the chance to fight Money May.

I agree. I like Bradley a lot now. He fights anyone and he is a tough SOB. That provonikov fight probably did it for me as well.

He got respect back the hard way only thing is missing is that manny rematch.

i always respected tim as a blue-collar fighter, but i was never a fan...

i HATED how he avoided khan... tim tried to fast-track a manny payday.
then when he got the gift decision, the way he mouthed off was a turn off.
tim is a classy dude, so hearing him straight up deny his robbery was sad. as if he was trying to convince himself....

i thought the provo fight was idiotic for him... but how can you not support a fighter who goes towards the fire to please the fans. that was some gladiator **** he did.

personally, the jmm fight was when i became a fan... that performance elevated and proved his place in the p4p list. as well as humbling an ATG mexican legend.... actually, how can you humble a fighter that always pulls the victim card?

I don't get how or why people hate/hated him. Professional, hardworking, talented guy who finds a way to win. Fair enough he mightn't always be in the best fights but that's no reason to hate him.

Bradley is a solid fighter and seems a decent, humble guy. I am definitely a fan.

I don't think anyone really had a problem until the judges robbed Pacman. Then fans, (as usual), blamed the wrong man. Personally I've always been a fan of Bradley, hardworking, humble, and a fighter through and through.

I want desperately for their to be a Bradley/Pacman rematch. So that Bradley can beat him clean and clear and leave the fanboys with nothing but open mouths.

I don't understand why fighters ever get the blame for robberies, outside of guys who stay in their hometowns because they know they'll get the benefit of the doubt every time. Bradley didn't score the Pac fight, he did his job and tried his best to win.

No he didn't.

"he out boxed Provo in the the 2nd half."

He didn't exactly outbox Provo and he lost that fight as well. The knock down in the 12th, should've sealed his fate BUT for some strange reason, he gets another gift decision. **** Bob Arum old hit man looking ass. By the way, I am a fan of Bradley but if he gives Marquez a rematch, how smart is he? If Manny fights Provo, from a business stand point, how smart is Arum? Manny should be fighting Mayweather or retire. There's nothing left to prove. Marquez is a cheater and Manny beat Bradley so easily, that there is nothing left to prove in this era except to fight the chicken, Mayweather.

the shameless way he talked after the Pac robbery was disgusting; fuck Bradley, he's a cunt

Timothy Bradley has grown on me.
