Is Anyone Else Concerned With Timothy Bradleys Health?

[SthPaw]

I think health wise he will be ok, barring no more concussive losses occur. But in terms of the longevity of his career I believe it may be a little shorter than he would prefer.

He suffered a damaging beating against Ruslan that resulted in being cuncussed. He had to take time off and see neuro specialist to get better because his speech was slurred and had memory problems etc.

He takes beatings from Pacquaio resulting in broken ankles.

He fights Chavez and gets lumped up bad, but pior to this fight every 122lber was dropping bradley he was slurring his speech again and once again he had to see doctors etc to get his brain right.

This guy just aint taking bad beating or fights that are tolling they are literally taking part of him with each fight and all these neuro specialist he has to seem often now cause he just aint right.

I think bradley gonna end up another sad case in boxing. What do you guys think.

He meets the criteria to fight Floyd if you notice he fights elite fighter at their end of the career when their basket cases

I would say so... I mean he was slurring pretty badly after the Prov fight and even now sometimes something just seems kind of "off" about him in certain interviews. He left a piece of him in that ring that night.

[JoeKidd]

The guy hasn't suffered any. He's just plain ******.

WAR BRADLEY BEAT VARGAS UP DESERT STORM!!

It's not that simple. Wilfred Benitez was one of the best defensive fighters ever and he's wheelchair bound in a nursing home. Carmen Basilio was a 'brawler' who fought some of the biggest punchers ever and he was as sharp as a tack his whole life.

Some people win the genetic lottery and can escape the punishment of a boxing career relatively unmarked. Others don't.

To be fair, he was half-unconscious for half the Provo fight. I'd expect him to sound bad. But yeah, you don't walk away from a war like that without leaving something behind.

Timmy needs to do what Khan is doing.

Avoid punchers / brawling.

Maybe Rios is not a great idea...

[IMDAZED]

I think Bradley will beat Vargas around the ring with boxing skill. Sure, he may have some damage after he retires but he will make a career out of commentating and have several businesses to sustain his family when he retires from the ring. Listen to how RJJ sounds and he still commentates for HBO, so I think Bradley will be just fine.

Jones is starting to slur a bit.

Bradley looked bad to me in his last bout. I had much higher expectations for him but he peaked with the first Pacquiao fight and hasn't been the same since. Not sure if a lack of desire or perhaps residuals from the Ruslan war but he's on a downward slope.
