Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Announces His Retirement From Boxing

[champion4ever]

What set Timothy Bradley apart aside from his boxing career was his character. He was a class act all the way. First he was a family man and model citizen and secondly, there has never been any implications of him ever juicing.

As a matter of fact, he was one of the first fighters ever to voluntarily sign up for the Vada testing program, when fighters like JMM didn't so much as have the nerve to when they fought each other.

That's why I hold him in such high regard because he actually had honesty and integrity. Which is very rare in sport that is so filled with dirt and corruption.

Damn you stay trolling. Way past prime? JMM just knocked Pac out cold less than a year prior

In a fight where he looked like shit.

Bradley was the consummate pro. You've been in many wars, and gave us crowd pleasing fights. I wish you would've beat Khans ass but he was scared of you. Other than that great career and you should make the H.O.F.

I have been on this website for years, this is by far the most vile and repulsive comment I have ever seen. Your scolding this guy for hiding behind a keyboard, yet you are making statements you def would not in public.

Who is the punk now? This is the comment section of a letter that Bradley personally wrote for the fans, and people like you ruin what should be a great debate about his place in history. I am flagging this user, this guy needs to be banned.

Hahahahaha ur a punk. U take this forum wayyyy too seriously. Ur an alt and I couldn't careless abt u asking mods to ban me. I have a life u know... I could be banned and my life will go on....

Funny dude

Tim beat at least 14 champions. I'll put everything I own on the line that Tim gets in.

I think Tim can beat everyone Floyd beat... Even Canelo at 152 which was a fight he pursued at 154

Well he can't beat Pacquaio we know that.

He won't get in first ballot that's a absolute gurantee.

[IronDanHamza]

Thanks for a good career, champ. Take care of your family now and guide them down the right path.



If Arturo Gatti got in....

For different reasons though.

I agree with this. Not much, if anything, to dislike about this guy inside or outside the ring, yet he never did seem to get the respect he earned. The Pac win really seemed to hurt him. He was an excellent fighter and showman in my eyes.

It seemed that he was more reviled and hated by Pac fans than Marquez ever was when it was so evidently clear to almost everyone without concrete proof that JMM had indeed cheated to win by way of KO.

He could've seriously hurt Manny that night in the ring but Bradley didn't do any of the sort. The judges awarded him a decision that many seem to disagree with but personally blamed him more for it than the three judges.

Lastly, I believe that a lot of the backlash he received from Manny fans in his first fight with Pac stemmed from the fact that he was a black fighter because of their intense hatred and dislike for Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Who was also black.

I know that it's the pink elephant in the ring that no one wants to admit or talk about but there is a ring of truth to what I'm saying. It's also the reason why he wasn't more popular as a fighter too.

Great. He was a boring fighter who couldnt punch through a wet paper bag.

I wont be missing him..

[champion4ever]

He's a first ballot Hall of Famer on just his wins against Pacquiao and Marquez alone. Also, let's not forget his body of work at Junior welterweight either; Where he was a unified title holder by holding at least three to four titles at the same time at a 140 lbs.

Already beat Pac. We know that.

Will get in HOF. Guarantee it
