He's terrible. He got an absolute gift against Pacquiao and Provodnikov, and should have been DQ'd against Alexander. Name me the best fighter he's beaten without headbutting. AND, he got floored by a former Winn-Dixie worker in Kendall Holt.

Yes, although Provo slowed down for the middle he should have had a couple rounds that should have been 10-8. He got very lucky with Prod and MannyQuote:

I might even pick marquez by TKO
Wasn't it Nate Campbell who worked at Winn Dixie???
I wish they would hire him back with a hefty raise.
Bradley's a good egg. He does nothing great but everything well and certainly has maximized his blue collar potential to a respectable level. Sparring with Matthysse after being concussed at least 5 times vs Provo is pretty nutty though. Don't quite get that in preparation for the style of Marquez.
Yeah Bradley is over hyped. Mostly by himself. The win over witter was good and you have to give him credit for getting up after being decapitated by Holt. As for the Alexander fight, Bradley smothered Alexander who likes to work at his own rate and with his own space to punch and bark (or yelp or whatever he does). The Butts have become common place with bradley, but even without them Alexander would have been stifled and outworked.
Pac had bradley all over the place and was robbed plain and simple. I had provodnikov winning also. Bradley's been on borrowed time after moved up and fought heavier punchers. He tailors his post fight interviews to whatever the result. His "foot" was the reason he didn't kill pacquiao.. He wanted to slug and show the fans hes was for real, that's why he decided to fight a stupid and slug with provo (coincidentally after he was caught). He's been overmatched for a while now. He'll probably beat Marquez, as much as i hate to say it because Marquez is not a murderous puncher, doesn't carry the weight as well as bradley and hasn't been able to research bradley like he did pac. Though i still hold out hope and a possibility that bradley is still a little worn and chinny after the last two fights and Marquez is a better finisher than Provo.
I do agree he got a gift against Pacman, and I thought he lost to Provo, but he aint terrible. Holyfield headbutted as much , if not more than Bradley, but still was a great fighter.Quote:

Otherwise, I really think Bradley should be outworking Marquez. Marquez is 40, 40 is a ridiculous age for these small men.
Someone should go out and film themselves as a vigilante/rougue/stealth steroid tester. Collecting hairs from boxers I and I believe many others have suspicions about like Marquez, Pacqiauo, Hopkins, Martinez and anyone really and get them tested.Quote:

Ha! Bradley probably shaves his hair because his head is so mahoosive, he does not want to increase it's circumference. Marquez will oubox and outfight him. The idea that he has more heart than anyone he has fought or that he is a great boxer is ridiculous. He plain ducked Khan and will hopefully disappear after Marquez whoops him upside the oversized heeed.
there's a few funny things being said about a man who is at the very top of the boxing tree
what are we comparing him to? the best fighters that ever lived?
