Is Timothy Bradley a Hall of Famer?

[Thraxox]

Tim Bradley, cleaned out 140, unified at 140, fought the monsters at 140 who even some speculated he ducked (Lamont Peterson, Devon Alexander.) Beat Witter, Nate Campbell, Luis Carlos Abregu. Fought and Beat Ruslan Provodnikov at his own grame (Brawling) and won a controversial decision against Manny Pacquiao, beat Juan Manuel Marquez comfortably, TKO'ed a durable Rios and beat an undefeated Jessie Vargas.

But would that be enough to solidify him in the Hall of Fame?

Personal opinion no way, but when you look at the people that gets in nowadays then he would surely make the list in the future. He also ducked Khan, "If I lose to Khan then I would be out of the Pacman sweepstakes" and I don't want to hear the "He fought Pacman excuses" he admit ducking Khan himself but somehow gets a pass on here.

There isn't really, he rejected Khan to fight Pacquiao. Pacquiao is more dangerous and rewarding than Khan, Khan is dangerous and rewarding. At that point, There isn't much for Bradley to fight for 140 unless he wants peanuts. DSG, and Khan, Mathysse were just beginning to climb at the World level, but at that point Bradley is already finished in fighting those kind of fighters and wants to fight to the pound for pound level (Marquez, Pacquiao.)

Khan is dangerous

He rejected Khan a whole year before he fought Pacquiao. He ducked. It's not like both fights were on the table and he chose Pacquiao.

He didn't clean out the 140 division.

One of the most overrated fighters in the sport. A gift against Pacquiao and a win over a shot JMM.

In this thread the Mayweather fanboys will angrily oppose the motion.

[BrometheusBob.]

I think he should get in, but I recgonize that he's not a sure-fire 1st ballot HOFer.

He'll probably get in eventually.

Amir Khan is a nobody in the grand scheme of things. If you're going to knock Bradley for avoiding him, how are you going to forgive Floyd for ducking a legit monster like Margarito? Khan's best win was crawling over the line against Maidana, whereas Margarito destroyed a peak Miguel Cotto.

[Dr Rumack]

If you want to keep people out of the hall of fame for ducking a contender, then I think that's an argument you can make. But bear in mind that requires keeping close to the entire current generation out.
