Is Tim Bradley Overrated?

[Owlzfan84]

No he's not overrated. He's a tough out for anyone 140-147. His resume speaks for itself.

The thing about Bradley is he doesn't really do anything particularly great. But he does just about everything 'good'. Good speed, good defense, good combinations, good footwork, good inside fighter etc. Since he doesn't standout in any particular category, people don't see anything special, but he's so well rounded that he can beat just about anyone around his weight class on any given night.

Probably? He was on drugs. And even then, without the two point deductions, he wouldn't have got the decision. Even with the point decisions, Khan won that fight. It was one of the biggest shams in recent boxing history. Everything about that fight and event. Typical Fat Yankery.

Ward probably did a lot worse than that to Froch

Ward probably did a lot worse than that to Froch

no, he didn't. ward foughtmost of that fight on the outside. when he gets on the inside, he works. khan's idea of fighting on the inside is blocking punches with his nose, and either holding on for dear life or pushing.

khan ran like a girl because his brain was rattling around in his skull, and pushed / elbowed like a girl for dear life when lamont got close enough to lay the wood.


i wouldn't have deducted the points, but he was clearly breaking the rules. if you've watched enough of khan's fights, you see a pattern of him either pulling guys heads down or to the side as he moves laterally, or just straight up pushing them away.

unlike ward, who releases clinches to try and work, khan holds because he needs a break [because he can't pace himself,] and has a genuinely bad chin for a world class boxer.


ironically, virgil hunter is the best thing that ever happened to amir khan.


lol @ you deluded brits watching khan reel around the ring and thinking it's a good thing. you are so freaking delusional.

when you're american, you live in a culture saturated with gifted athletes. we don't have the same illogical biases that you have for you fighters. act like you've been there.

He got one of the easiest runs to a big payday I've ever seen.

Your crazy. What was that run to the top again?

khan beats an older, worse alexander, and he's ready for a mayweather shot. gotta add in terrific performances over some diaz brother and the great luis collazo, too.

bradley beats an undefeated alexander, peterson who made khan run around the ring like it was a track meet, and he's not ready for a pacquiao shot.


dirk's not biased, doe.

Ward beat Froch somewhat cleanly actually. The victory over Kessler was a ****ing joke and he knows it, that's why he refused to go over and fight him at home. Ward's overrated as hell... People are still living off his accomplishments from 6 years ago where he had EVERY conceivable advantage. That's good for him, but it doesn't earn as much credit as anyone else in that tournament, even if they lost.

Khan vs. Bradley would have been a perfect eliminator of sorts for Mayweather or Pacquaio shot. It's a shame the American proved to have baby nuts.

So its OK for Frampton to duck Rigo to fight Quigg for bidness reasons.

But its not OK for Bradley to duck Khan to fight Pacquiao for bidness reasons.
