I like Bradley a lot, but why on earth is he calling out a fat, shot, old and retired Erik Morales? Makes no sense to be speaking like that. What is going on with Tim Bradley?

Miles, You're the king of saying crazy shit to get attention... So how can you question Timothy Bradley!?
Morales said Bradley is shit and Bradley is responding by saying the he's not only going to whoop Vargas but if Morales thinks he's a shit fighter then he can come out of retirement and he'll destroy him too.
It's called publicity Miles. You say crazy shit you don't mean all the time. You do it so someone, anyone will pay attention to you. Bradley is doing it for publicity.
bit daft publicity if you ask meQuote:

When I saw the title, I thought it was about him calling GGG Out! I like Bradley, he's brave and can box really well. But for a guy with no power, he talks too brave and he fights stupidly! He could've schooled provodnikov, but he chose to go to war with him. Same with Chavez, and he gets a lot of serious damage done to him above the neck.
When he fought Marquez , he fought beautifully and no matter what people think the Pac 1 result was, he clearly fought well and was undoubtedly injured as well.
I think he's probably just a bit nuts! 😄
I really like Bradley, but just found it odd to be calling out Morales. It would be like Pac calling out Roger Mayweather or something. Just why would you? Yeah, I guess Bradley is just highly strung and is ready to fight. I hope he keeps his head on straight and looks good. He isnt boxing as smart lately, getting too emotional and off the gameplan.
Any1 think Vargas can beat Bradley ? I don't rate Vargas much think it should be a easy fight for Bradley
I don't blame him if Morales was indeed talking shit. Roach has shown trainers a bad path with the fame seeking BS making it about him/them. Trainers should train and form game plans. Not that they can't talk but it's becoming an epidemic with trainers thinking they sell fights, thinking it's about them. If someone isn't going to fight they shouldn't be talking shit. Shit talk is for those that will resolve it like men.
Well Freddy is a MORON when it comes to talking up his fighters.Quote:

So what does Freddy say? "Oh, I saw that DLH couldn't pull the trigger anymore, that's why we took the fight." So he totally cut the legs from underneath his star fighter by admitting DLH was a washed up shell of himself, and gave himself the glory for making a great match for his fighter. :rolleyes:
Everyone could see Oscar was dead at the weight which was the main reason he lost.Quote:

Roach stinks on the mic!
Same with the press conferences "this will be MY greatest test and sorry but WE'RE going to kick Floyds ass" your fighters name is Manny, perhaps it is relevant Freddie.Quote:

I do like Bradley and was going to bat for him before he crashed the gate. But I think the backlash following the Manny "win" really hit him sideways and he has come off with a little man complex ever since. The level of moaning and bitter ranting in pre fight Manny 2 was embarrassing. Little power, little personality and almost sounds desperate playing up the tough guy posing and flexing for every camera he comes across. We get it Tim, you're ripped. Just fight and fight smart! If he goes in with Vargas and thinks he will bully boy him around based on lack of perceived ko power, he might end up looking foolish. He doesn't need to go after a guy in Morales who has zero business in the ring and has been to war and back.
Almost word for word what I was going to say. He used to be a pretty humble guy, but I saw a little change in him after he beat Alexander with the whole "gimme my belts" screaming after the decision was announced. I appreciate Bradley trying to be exciting, but he could prolong his career by boxing guys he can easily outbox and stop getting into wars where he comes off looking second best due to his lack of power.Quote:
