That provodnikov fight really took a toll on bradley.... He fought with all heart and emotion that night which is never good.... Wish bradley great health....

bradley, you shortened your career because you are ****** enough to try and prove yourself to the fans and critics that you are warrior and not a runner coward like they claimed in the pac fight. Because of that ******ity you shortened your career tremendously but washed that controversy of the pacquiao fight away and gained a whole legion of fans.

that ruslan war was too brutal... It took a heavy toll on bradleys health.... If he didnt go toe to toe with ruslan he would be a lot healthier today....

[aceventura]

he never really got battered around in too many of his other fights, but he took about a career's worth of punishment in one evening against provodnikov. Understandable that he doesn't want to do that again.

they said he was throwing up and shivering after that fight.... Had a concussion and every thing... That fight was the equivalent of 4 regular fights.... He fought with all heart and emotion that night... Without that fight he would be a lot healthier today...

bradley: i know it’s inenvitable for me to get a traumatic brain injury. But i know that if there’s any damage done, i don’t wanna do any more damage to my brain"

a brain injury can change the way people feel or express emotions. I wonder if bradley already feel some kind of impact of brain injury in his everyday life. Maybe that made him scared and started to think about the future and decided to retire.

that ruslan war took bradley to a dark place... He was shivering and puking after the fight... He also had a concussion... The trauma from wars like that stays with you for years...

And people criticize floyd for being a defensive fighting in order to take the least punishment possible, in the long run its always the smartest way. Tim bradley has shown tremendous heart, enjoyed many a night watching him fight. Enjoy your retirement champ.

Yet Floyd is 40 and still fighting. How 'bout that. Don't get involved in a brutal sport like boxing if you aren't willing to risk the health implications.

As for Tim Bradley, good fighter but not great. Says it all that the biggest victory of his career was the result of contentious judging in his first bout with Manny Pacquiao. It also doesn't endear me any closer to him knowing that he's a huge Uncle Tom.

^^^^Pretty much this. 8-4. Felt like he could have beat Pacqiuao in that 2nd fight if he didn't try to prove something to the most delusional fanbase in the world.

I don't blame you at all.
