      Does anyone know what Bradley re-hydrates to for his Welterweight fights?

        Pac atleast had power and good footspeed and he topped out at 150.

        The only reason Timmeh is talked about 154 is because there arent any fights left at 147. He can still go back to 140 though.
        What do you mean there arent any fights left at 147?

        Last time i checked Timmy has not fought Maidana, Thurman, Khan, Brook, Porter, Guerrero etc

        Bradley made a wise decision by re signing with top rank, that way he gets to fight limited fighters like diego chaves and big paydays against pacquiao and marquez...Tim would be way out of the P4P if he was fighting Al Haymon fighters. Same can be said for Marquez and Pacquiao.

          ^ This.

          Once he gets hit with a good clean shot, he'll retaliate with his usual looping wild swings and the bigger guys at 154lbs will beat the crap out of him. Bradley can box, but he's not a pure boxer like Floyd, Rigo, Lara, etc. When those guys get hit with a hard punch, they still remain focus and calm enough to execute their game plan unlike, Bradley. Once he gets hit cleanly with a nice punch, he'll revert to the same wild swinging Bradley who fought Ruslan.

          This is how Bradley would probably look like at 154.

            When it's all said and done, Timothy Bradley doesn't really bring much to the table against anyone besides his big ass head, that's his greatest strenght in the ring.

              I would've said no, but being short and not Ko'ing everyone is the norm now.

              What's the name of the short African dude who boxes well and is around the light heavyweight division?

                He outboxed jmm at a weight that benefited Bradley. Going up in weight would just hinder Bradley the same way it did with Marquez. Just wanted to remind anyone that might have forgotten

                      Even if he tries to stick and move, he'll still have a hard time winning. He's not that fluid and effective when he boxes. Guys like Cotto and Canelo would punish him.
