I dont blame him he got the Marquez fight andthe pac man fight three times he made some good money with top rank. But to be honest he was overrated at welterweight. So is lucas matthysse btw.
    I think his decision to go to top rank was the best decision he ever made. Just look how he and Devon were the top dogs. Tim went down one street, Devon the other. Tim's career has been way better than Devon's.

    But in response to your post, since you mentioned any top welterweight, you think Berto/Ortiz/Danny Garcia, would've been able to beat him?

      a lot of people dont want to give bradley the credit he deserves because he was promoted by TR and arum and he lost to manny.


      remember what ward said. bradley is one of the toughest guy he's fought in the AM.
      Pretty much my thoughts as well. But I would also throw Crawford in there as a possibility, not saying Bud will win it, but his odds of actually doing it would be better than others. Sucks Tim retired and we didn't get to see it, definitely would've been made by now by bob.

          Who exactly did Bradley beat at WW? A gift against Manny, a SD against Chavez and a controversial win against a limited Prodvo. His best win at WW Marquez. Porter, Thurman, Spence, D. Garcia, Mikey G., Maidana all had the chance to beat Bradley. Bradley ended up falling in love with trying to KO fighters when he wasn't a power puncher. All those guys could pop and KO Bradley if he chose to slug it out. However we would never know because Bradley decided to stay with TR and retire at an early 33.
          Thanks for your response. Those fight's would've been nice. I would've liked to see if he would've handled Maidana in a similar fashion like Devon did.

            you're questioning bradley ww's win but then mention guys that aint never even fought at ww before!!! and then guys who didnt beat anyone special at ww, yet you said these guys can all beat bradley? lol

            you see, what you and everyone else seem to forget is that bradley fought guys that are ATGs and HOF, this alone gain bradley the experience he needed to beat those other guys you mention.
            nice return response. great points.

                He's a class act in my book... Class, win
                , lose or draw... Class..

                  what is with this worship of Crawford as a WW? did he even have a fight yet as a WW? if he wasn't so much bigger then any fighter at 140 who knows how he would have done there

                      crawford vs bradley is 50/50 for me. havent seen what crawford is capable of doing at ww. we have yet to see if he can even handle the power from a real ww or if he'lll carry his power over.

                      where as for bradley, he's shown me that he's proven. he's been in there with some of the best, win or lose. he took some big shots, didnt go down.

                      im only picking spence to beat tim because of the size, spence aint really done shiiet either at ww but the size alone will give him the edge.
