Can Timothy Bradley be a success at 154?

[John Locke]

No I gotta disagree

Lara runs from one side of the ring to the other

When I think pure boxer I think Pernell Whitaker, Floyd mayweather, making your opponent miss and countering

Lara didn't do that vs Canelo.

He ran around the ring throwing lead straight lefts. In all fairness he did land a counter right hook on occasion and then spin out ...before he picked another side of the ring to run to

Timmys performance against Marquez was beautiful. A beautiful boxing display.

What are you disagreeing with, Lara being a better boxer than Bradley? With all due respect, I don't really think it's close.

I didn't like Lara's performance against Canelo, although I had him edging a close 7-5. But in general, his footwork, ring IQ, jab etc is a league above Bradley. Bradley isn't that good a boxer.

Marquez doesn't like being the aggressor, but he had to be against Bradley and that obviously suited Tim. Marquez can be outboxed by quite a few guys at 147.

Did you see Bradleys last fight?

was a bad matchup for him and a fight he should of won like 8 4 7 5 at least but i can see where ur coming from lets not forget chavez was also beating rios before rios got ref to dq chavez

Did you see Bradleys last fight?

Yea I did

Did you?

You were the one asking after the fight how many rounds did Bradley Outland Chaves in

Well, the answer is 11.

Yes, 11.

And they scored it a draw.

He also fought with one horrifically swollen eye for most of the fight.

I get your point, Trout has not been looking like the Trout of the past, but Bradley has also looked vulnerable his last few fights.

Disputed win against Pacquiao in the first fight.
Brutal brawl with Ruslan (could have went either way)
Great win against Marquez
Loss to Pacquiao
A good tough fight with Chavez, but got a draw

What stops Austin Trout is power, and that's one thing Bradley does not have.

He will eat Trouts left jabs all night long.
Plus the extra weight, might not do him any favors.

Never been a fan of trouts ****ty flicking jab

Lara made him look like a lost puppy

He won 4 rounds against PAC in the rematch
Outlanded Chaves in 11 rounds

[John Locke]

Chaves is a quality fighter. He gave Keith a tough fight and beat Rios. I had Bradley beating him 8-4.

[Robbie Barrett]

Bradley is around the same size as Pacquiao (in the first fight he actually weighed a little less). If the much more talented Pacquiao knows 154 is too much for him then it's too much for Bradley.

That I will give you, Lara dismantled Trout.

My point is, I just don't see what would cause Trout problems Vs Bradley?

Bradley is much shorter, slower, no punching power.
Doesn't exactly have the greatest Defense, but Bradleys defense is notable when he wants to be defensive.

Maybe Bradley can make it a rough inside fight, as that will be his only option.

me either its like people cant comprehend that sometimes things are equalized because of a bad match up and trout is a terrible matchup for cotto though i do think cotto would win in a rematch

Rios is not very good man so that is not saying much

Yea I did
