How come Tim Bradley wasn't really liked?

[JK1700]

Not exciting, didn’t knock people out or stop them, no personality. He was feather-fisted and if you don’t have power at least you need to have a strong personality or be interesting outside the ring and he had none of these things. Zero personality.

Not to mention he never had a performance that made you say “WOW” and you can argue he lost to Marquez, and 3x vs Pacquiao. Also went life and death with a couple of C level fighters in Provodnikov and Chaves. I need to stop it’s really sounding like I hate his guts here when I don’t, haha. I’m just pointing things out and answering the question. It is what it is.

However when you consider all the above it’s easy to see why he barely has any fans. Fans don’t relate to him or find him interesting or exciting. Like Floyd said whether they boo or cheer it doesn’t matter because they are interested, the worst thing is when they don’t care at all, and that’s how it was with Bradley. Only a few hardcore fans were fans of him. Perfect example of why it takes more than just getting wins to be a star in boxing. There’s a lot more to it than that. A lot more.

really now??? bradley never been in a boring fight.

Bradley was in a lot of boring fights. Peterson and Alexander stand out, and none of his Pac fights were particularly interesting. Marquez wasn't exactly a barnburner.

Bradley had his share of fans, but no where near the likes of a Mayweather. So what was wrong with Bradley and why didn't he have a lot of fans?

Inside the ring, Bradley was for the most part undefeated, willing to fight the best, he was a great fighter with fun fights, and he always gave it his all. Outside the ring he was just as good too. He was a father, a husband, well spoken, and never got in trouble with the law, yet he didn't have fans.

Whereas you have someone like Mayweather, in the ring he was someone who many thought had boring fights, didn't look for the best fights, and did just enough to get the decision victory. Outside the ring he was an ignorant gambler, loud and obnoxious, and even went to jail for physical abuse towards women, yet he had plenty of fans.

How does Bradley not have fans but Mayweather does?

That's like asking, why does Michael Jordan have fans, but not Clyde Drexler.

Dude, Mayweather's at worst the 2nd greatest fighter of the past 20 years. Timothy Bradley's a hall of famer, but probably not top 10 since 2000.

He was a **** average HGH abuser with huge head and pillowfists.

And he ducked Amir Khan.

What proof do you have that a guy who fought his entire career between 135-147 with zero power was an HGH user?

That he's American?

why are you trying to compare Mayweather to Bradley?

This.

It's an asinine comparison. Mayweather's so far & away better & greater than Bradley that it's pretty ridiculous to even compare the two.

I like Tim and he would be champion today.


I'll never forget, I was with my boys at Hooters and man, everyone was booing

His huge head is a big pointer.

Bradley doesn't have huge fanbase. He might not get a lot of love, but he is very respected by fans, critics, fellow boxers, trainers and pretty much almost anyone involved in the sport.

You mean the 1st Pac fight?

I saw that fight at a bar, people went outside to smoke or buy drinks during the decision cause everyone thought it was a wrap for Manny. Then Bradley raised his hands and people were outraged lmao.

I think I saw only one person clapping for Bradley, some old white lady. She wanted Timmy's bbc.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Nice man.

I was talking to this black dude who said Bradley was his favorite boxer and he won a $200 bet, but he said he felt guilty for winning money with that BS decision.

Funny thing is, the second fight was actually closer.
