Is Tim Bradley Overrated?

[New England]

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.

exactly. i was going to cite this, but i couldn't rememeber framptons name bcause he's such a nonfactor in boxing / life.


i refuse to google his name, and probably would have called him quigg. not a f#ck would have been given about getting some limey nomination wrong.

the smaller british fighters get, the more they remind me of shire folk.

Oh dear. Frampton won the belt in September, got an injury and now has a mandatory against Avalos.

Tim Bradley called out Khan on HBO. Got offered his highest payday April/May 2011 to fight Khan in June. He turned it down, sat on the shelf, turned it down again, VOLUNTARILY fought a shot to ****, decrepit and stoned Casamayor in December 2011 and then luckily got the Pacquaio fight in June 2012 after several others had turned it down.

Same situation doe.

Horrendous fail.

permitted to fight for the unified title. Any unification bout, if approved by the
Championships Committee, will take priority over the mandatory. Despite the
general prohibition in Rules 5 A.2.(b); B.2.; and D.1.(a) above, the Champion may box a WBC, WBA or WBO champion within sixty (60) days of the mandatory due

Bradley is rated where he should be.

He is not slick.

But he is durable, skilled and highly conditioned.

His fan base is small because he is not slick or a 'G'.

If Bradley is overrated then so is Khan, only more so.

I'm not sure what you guys are arguing, but anyone saying Bradley didn't duck the **** out of Khan is a fanboy. That was a duck of epic proportion, Khan seeing Bradley and telling to grow some balls to his face says it all.

Be realistic. Frampton has been injured. Rigondeaux fought at the end of December. They were going to make a unification of that magnitude fight for February? There was no offer from either side as there was for Bradley to fight Khan. Frampton has to fight Avalos at some point who is a top 5 Super Bantamweight. He didn't sit out for a year and then cherry pick a shot to ****, stoned fighter.

Just such a poor comparison on so many levels but I'll give you 4/10 for effort.

difficult question..

what made bradley a beast was his state of mind, which he lost when he started making big money. at this point in his career i would have to say he is overrated despite still being in his physical prime. before the hunger went, far from it.
