    I think he has a suspect chin, especially at 147. FAR from iron.

    He's only fought a few real big punchers and in those he was dropped several times by Provodnikov and rocked numerous other times. He was dropped by Holt. He was hurt by Pacquiao.

    Now he has been badly hurt by a Malignaggi level puncher who had no power at 140.

    I think guys like Thurman, Brook or Maidana stop him, no doubt whatsoever.

      Bradley has an iron chin

      This is not even debatable

      If he didn't he gets dropped by pacquaio

        LOL that's laughable. The referee didn't stop the fight and Bradley continued the full 12. Just because you wish the referee stopped the fight doesn't mean it should have been a TKO. That's ******.


        Bradley not only survived but went on to win the fight so obviously he made the right call.


        Your wishful thinking doesn't count as what "should" have happened.

          dont know if id say his chin is good cause he always gets buzzed when getting hit on the chin, but the way he holds on to survive and stays standing is a testament to how much heart he has.

            Bradley has got a decent chin.

            His head is also very thick and can take huge punishment to the dome.

            In terms of punch durability and physical conditioning Bradley is hard to better.

              Then again, he stopped the fight last night a little too early this time. Suprisingly, Bradley was hurt at the moment of the "stoppage"....

                Bradley has a excellent chin, his problem is Balance and Footwork, he stumbles so much that it is hard to tell sometimes if he is hurt of not.

                If people are saying that Bradley doesn't have a good chin then I just don't know what a good Chin is by today's standards in boxing

                  Bradley has one of the best chins of the past 5 years

                  It's not on the level of:

                  Stiverne
                  Hopkins
                  Rios
                  Arakawa
                  Margarito
                  McCall
                  Golovkin

                  But it's an iron chin

                  But obviously with boxing, and wear and tear, punch resistance is gonna get worse especially with some of the brutal fights timmys been in

                  I would say his chin is still iron but not at it's peak and it's only downhill from here

                  Just retire.

                    Folks forget Vargas was originally a welterweight but moved down to gain an advantage. Vargas clearly the bigger longer fighter in the ring.

                    Bradley's was hurt from the punch b/c he gas tank was on empty. He has to learn how to pace himself and stop bouncing around but I guess that what makes him TB. At least it was a good fight.

                      He gets wobbled a bit too much for me to say that he has one of the best chins, but he knows how to keep himself up and fight through when he's on unsteady feet. That's something you can't easily teach.

                      Bradley's been in some good fights, definitely looking forward to seeing more of him.
