Was The Timothy Bradley A Punching Bag?

[Bjl12]

Bradley took too much punishment, but he never got battered in a fight that I can remember. The worst beating he took was against Provo and he had a long break after that fight.

Glad he retired. I think Andre Ward got out at the right time too. Yeah he beat Kovy the 2nd time, but he was losing in that fight up to the stoppage and he had friendly scoring in the first fight...not a "gift" or robbery, but friendly scoring for sure

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Man *** you lol!

Rios has a ****** type chin where you can throw a kitchen sink at him and he still won't go down!

Let's not forget, Bradley fought better fighters and harder punchers than Rios did!

I was a big fan of Rios and thought he would be something but his discipline and himself is his biggest problem!

If he would've just stayed in shape year round he could've been a semi threat at welter or even stayed at 140 an be top 5!

Rios ducked Provo as well not to mention while Bradley fought him!

Rios was beaten to a pulp and cried against Pacquiao!

LMAO

a war solider disciplined < a punching bag undisciplined cry baby

Alot of time rios dont get credit for his defense midrange and in close he's very crafty, its not just the head movement its the rolling with punches, its breaking shots down, im telling ya man Rios doesnt get enough credit for his ability on the inside, hes one of the best inside fighters in the sport of boxing today! Believe it or not its not that easy to hit him.

timmy went out of his way to be a ''punching'' bag. rios was born one.

no offense to bam bam fans. dude was the definition of face 1st. thats why he was called baby margarito when he fought pac.

[joseph5620]

lol why are you fools getting your feelings hurt its just a question. People call rios a punching bag but rios has been able to avoid the beatings bradley has took and FYI those two fighters you metioned provo and marquez both ducked rios, FACT!

Bradley has took alot more damage in the ring than a brandon rios who alot consider a punching bag. Bradley has been concussed several times, Bradley has been grotesquely disfigured in fights, Bradley has been dropped several more times than rios. Bradley has been hurt in multiple fights.

Hell lets just look at common opponents/
Bradley got dropped against pacquaio RIOS DIDNT.
Bradley left in a wheel chair against pac, RIOS DIDNT.
Bradley left disfigured against chaves, RIOS DIDNT.

It sure didn't look like it when Bradley beat the sh*it out of Rios.

(no offense to TS)

I don't care how painful he felt about being wrong, but in the words of the great Roger Mayweather, OP just don't know sh!+ about boxing!

If you don't like Timothy Bradley then you just don't like boxing!

He brought heart, hard work, no excuses, honor and skills!

He is a great symbol and ambassador to boxing!

People seem to forget Bradley almost 12-0 Lamont Peterson who was undefeated back then, you can make a case for 10-2 or 11-1 but no lower than that. It was basically impossible for Lamont to be outboxed but Bradley schooled him.

But punching bag doe.

[Mister Wolf]

Now that his career has ended we can review his career.

Think about this, He has took more damage in this sport than Brandon Rios.

Timothy Bradley made Brandon Rios quit the sport of boxing. He also made him stop believing in Robert Garcia as a trainer. Those body punches changed his life.

Some holes there:

Bradley fought Pac 3 times and only one knockdown.
Bradley left in a shell chair but finished the fight without complaining.
The Rios/Chaves fight was stopped on a DQ because of fouls. It looked like Rios was ready to quit. Plus in no way Chaves fought to a draw with Bradley

no Holes its all fact. Yours is opinion.

Your excusing bradley being KD against pac because he fought him 3 times.

shell car? im assuming its means wheel chair and if thats the case again your excusing that he did leave in a wheel chair by saying he finished the fight without complaining.

"rios looked like he wante to quit" again "looked" its your opinion not fact.

No holes in anything I said, its all fact. Yours is opinions.
