Comments Thread For: Diaz Reacts To Bradley's 'Three Days' Comment on Atlas

[PowerFlow]

Agreed. Very out of character for Bradley to do this. Outside the ring, awesome human. Great family man, respected in his community.

Some answers to loaded questions need to be self regulated. Don't put down one of his biggest supporters. Different directions, cool. Keep that crap private. In this modern media age, people put too much out there, and can't shut up when a microphone or camera show up.

Very good points. When people put stuff out there these days it goes past Ring magazine or a small article in the back of the local sports page. Times have changed

I think both men are to blame for the current state of they're relationship, however Diaz was first to take shots at Bradley's wife, and he continues to do so, mentioning her every time he answers the question. no one has asked him anything about Bradley's wife, yet he feels the need to include her every time he speaks on the subject. As far as I'm concerned, Diaz is now fair game and if he continues to throw Bradley's wife under the bus, with out even knowing whether it was actually her who made the call, I hope Bradley keeps ripping him. When you bring people's family into something, it becomes personal, wouldn't be surprised if these two come to blows or close to it the next time they cross paths. There hasn't been any proof that this situation was created due to Bradley's wife (though that may be accurate), either way it was Diaz who inflamed it when he brought family into it.

I hear ya man. I just feel like Bradley fired shots first. But agree about the family thing. It's none of my business as well, but when you're a fan of this sport you form connections with these men who put it all on the line and you see plenty of them destroyed from one degree to another by women (Tyson, gatti, Mosley, etc.). But I don't know the details right now. Hopefully Timmy doesn't find himself at the wrong end of a woman's wrath. Can be brutal.

I guess it might be cheap shots or whatever, but she is Bradley's manager, she should be open to criticism, it's a tough business......I don't think he's picking on her as a wife or mother or anything like that (unless i missed something).

Joel Diaz isn't a great trainer But is Teddy Atlas?

Joel Diaz is a bottom basement trainer way over-hyped who did fair with bradley but who exactly has Teddy Atlas ever developed as a fighter? Mike Moorer who got KO'd by old George Foreman? Joel isn't any good but is Atlas who talks a great game but has done little in training anyone. No problem in dropping Diaz so let's see what Teddy can actually do for Bradley who take tremendous punishment in the ring?

People can talk all they want about the Diaz/Bradley split, or talk about Bradley's wife trying to run the show too much, or talk about whatever... fact remains that the trainer you have is good IF you communicate well with them, back and forth, and real progress and success is made in the ring. Atlas has alot of good qualities. He's been round forever, and he himself was trained by Cus. Diaz curses his freaking guts out so much in the corner, I don't see how anyone can think he's that amazing of a pro. Geez, if you can't get the point across without all that, you certainly aren't so great of a communicator now are you? He's had some big success stories, so no one can say he's a bum. But if Bradley likes Atlas more, and we see improvements in the ring, hey I'm fine with that.

Looking forward to the Rios fight. I'm thinking Bradley will look extremely sharp.

It doesn't matter if Atlas doesn't work out, Bradley's wife can train him.

Rooting for Rios to bring the Bradley family down a notch. If Rios can't do it I foresee Terence Crawford doing it soon. Don't think all that highly of Crawford's skills & I'd pick him to lose to Pacquiao, but I think he beats Bradley.

Those 2 a pretty close. I'm not sure they fight unless it's absolutely unavoidable.

[HarvardBlue]

Bradley is being disloyal and Diaz wore out his welcome as his trainer. I don't see how much better Atlas can make Bradley but I suppose the change will be good.

Oh ****, didn't realize that. Smart friendship by Bradley than lol. Crawford definitely don't seem like a guy who'd push anything like a fight with a friend & its not like either guy is THAT money to have that fight to be on some collusion course.

Yeah, think they formed a bond before Bradley fought Manny the first time. Crawford was the main sparring partner and was trying to beat Timmy's ass. Think he wound up staying at his house during that time and they went to events together etc.
