Comments Thread For: Seeing Pacquiao Bloodied, Battered by Horn Made Bradley Retire

[Lomasexual]

I think Bradley has a point, that when the hunger is gone then it is time to hang them up. It doesn't matter what the hunger is, whether it is to prove yourself as a fighter, whether it is to make a fortune, whatever.

I think that watching Pac lose to Horn had another effect on him. He saw that Horn was a hell off a fighter. He also saw that Horn was getting zero respect.

He knew that if he had to fight Horn, he would have to put his all into it, and even then it would be hell.

As he said: ‘I don’t know if I wanna go through all that torture, go through all that pain and go through that mess anymore. I don’t have the guts for it anymore, man.'

To accomplish what? To possibly win a guaranteed hard fight, or possibly even lose to a guy that the world is determined to show no respect to.

Yeah, you need to have real hunger, or that kind of deal won't be appealing at all.

Timothy Bradley shortened his own career, due to his fetish for brawling! (Up until his Ruslan Provodnikov duel, he was a very smart and astute fighter inside of the ring! I believe he could of easily out boxed Ruslan Provonkov, but instead he decided to go mental!).

I did enjoyed all of his fights against Manny Pacquiao, especially the build up to the SECOND fight! and yes? I also thought he won the first fight! I did'nt think it was a massive robbery at all!

Look who he took damage to... why is he still fighting?

Precisely.

Hey Timothy Bradley, you know Jeff Horn won but you don't want to upstage Teddy Atlas & you want to stay as an analyst on T.V. so you have to comply

Precisely.

Wow so basically Jeff Horn scared Bradley into retirement. He knew he was going to get the call next from Bob to fight Horn and he was like nope, peace!

Bradley was next in line to fight Horn, if pacquiao didnt want the rematch, brlady saw horn maul manny and said f that, that boy is huge, i couldnt even bully manny like that and im pretty strong.

Bradley recognize horn is no joke and aint going to risk his health

All of these I wholeheartedly agree. And I'm frankly appalled at the lack of "Tim ducked Jeff Horn" posts that should be here, because that's exactly what he's doing. As a Bradley fan, I do think retirement is good for him now, but to come out and basically admit ducking Jeff Horn? Pitiful.

Excellent post.

Harn is so much better than you guys give him credit for

Yes, Jake Hurn is better than anyone wants to credit him for.

Seriously though...He is.

You are a clown if you think Bradley is ducking Horn. Oh wait.....you already are.

Good on you Tim. Tim's toe to toe with Provo and his toying with Marquez are his signature fights.

Well, given the robbery in the first fight, it is kind of fitting that Pacquiao has retired Bradley.

Bradley is a lot smarter with his money than Floyd or Pacman so he can make his money last a lot longer.

Andre Ward once said Bradley was the toughest (not hardest or best) guy he ever fought in the amateurs. Given Tim's in ring warrior spirit I believe it. That's a huge compliment from Andre.

If Tim ends up broke it will probably be his wife/manager's fault.
