    Tim Bradley's resume has aged like milk. Should he really be a HOFer?

    Wins over witter, holt, lamont peterson and Devon alexander were significant in the 140 division. However, as time went on none of these guys went on to have much more success in their career.

    Alexander became a champ again and beat Matthysse/Maidana but got absolutely dominated by Porter after and has never recovered. Peterson went on to have some success but not much significant.

    Writter and Holt never became champions again.

    His 147 resume is a robbery "win" over pac, a good win over a 40 year old marquez, then wins over B level guys like Jessie vargas and Provodnikov.

    So Bradley's best win is either a 40 year old marquez or Devon Alexander.

    technically the win over Pacman, an ATG, makes him famous.

    but the actual reality of the shifty win makes him infamous, and nothing else on his resume marks him above title level.

    One cant argue thats its not a foot in the door of being famously remembered, but its not something that even he would want to be remembered for.

    a backdoor HoF at best alongside guys like Joe Calzaghe.

            Bradley's resume is strong. He beat a bunch of champions. And anybody who says the Provodnikov fight was a "robbery" has no idea how to score fights.

                    Everyone's resume ages with the passage of time, bud.

                    Guys that were killers in their prime end up opponents and the wins over them don't mean what they did before. Damages the brand, so to speak, but doesnt change what happened before.... except to new fans and people with bad memories.

                    -13 world title fights
                    -Two division champion
                    -Top shelf, A-list fighters defeated: Vazquez, Peterson, Alexander, Pacquiao, Provodnikov, Marquez. Not to mention that damn near every fighter ever fought, even in tuneups, were solid C+ or better guys. Witter, Holt, Abregu, Vargas, Rios, etc.

                    The man's resume is absolutely stacked.
