    Bradley is a very good all round fighter but a in the league of pac/floyd.. Bradley has a lot of heart & fights like a man possessed. A very good champ - yes, a legend - no..
    He did more than enough to be in the HOF. Being a two division world champ with one of the best resumes around. You can't hate on the guy or say that he doesn't belong in the HOF.

      I didn't say he isn't a HOF candidate, but not in the first ballot.. Legend - nope..

      Oh btw I don't hate him but I am not a huge fan either but he has my respect.. I agree with everything Alex said in his post, a dedicated family man, well mannered & level headed which is such a rarity these days..

        IF Cotto, Pacquiao and Bradley retires at the same year, then they have to be in the first ballot. Other than Wladimir Klitschko who is clearly a first ballot HOF, Bradley could well be a first ballot HOF.

        Same to Andre Ward also in manner but the difference is, Timothy Bradley is confident and gives the fan's what they want, but Andre Ward just strikes as arrogant and would be content to do things for himself than to give fans anything. Which is why I don't like Ward but like TB.

            Overall Bradley's resume is deeper and he fought (and beat) the same guys Khan did only he fought them at their prime.

            Khan has done nothing at 147 / 155 of note.
            They have like 2 names in common, Peterson and DA. Khan beat both and he beat Alexander a lot cleaner and we all know the Peterson fight was a full on robbery. Bradley did beat a better version of DA though, as for Peterson, he was a lot better when he fought Khan and DG than when he fought Bradley...maybe it was to do with the juicing.

            To claim Bradley's resume is better than Khans is truth but to claim Khans resume is **** or as one of you put it "****s all overs Khan" is blind hatred.

            Thats my simple, honest take on it.

              Blind hatred...no.

              Cynical objectivity, maybe.

              Bradley's resume is clearly deeper and has success across divisions that Khan just does not have.

              Bradley is at least one level above Khan.

                Your exact words: "His resume ****s all over Khans. "

                Bradley's resume is better, no one is arguing that but the above statement is not only false, it clearly screams of a passionate dislike for someone who has one of the best resumes of any fighter 30 or under right now.

                This will be my last word on the matter.

                  If beating Paulie, Zab and going life and death with Maidana means you have 'one of the best resumes of any fighter under 30'...

                  Then you are correct, I will concede to your superior insight.
