So Tim Bradley is a clown.

[Julius Rain]

I think Bradley has the or one of the strongest will and determination ever. Despite what he and his trainer tells us. I think what happened to him is the good ol saying "you have a plan until you get hit". He has a great chin but in the two fights with pac and with ruslan, he look like he is fighting concussed. I wouldn't argue with his calf injury claim but its funny he suffers leg injuries everytime he fights pac. I think thats due to his lack of ability to keep up with the footwork required for him to battle pac in the type of fight he needs to stick to to keep the fight closed against pac. The wild homerun swings showed he was desperate and couldn't maintain a high level of footwork speed to battle and beat pac. Plus the punches from pac that hurts him.

Salute to Bradley for getting up there and battling one of the greatest ever. His will got him there.

Bradley should be docked points for being so ugly.

[erics44]

bradley is a penis, he just acts like a penis all the time, he was acting like a penis in the ring which he can actually be forgiven for, who knows how theyd act when getting beaten up infront of so many people

even so he acts like a penis the rest of the time

its everything about him, the first thing id get rid of is the army shorts and green gloves, makes him look even more like a penis

[Dark Lord Al]

A more realistic nickname for Bradley instead of -

Desert Storm - he is more like a Breeze in a Sandpit.

Bradley almost always combined that will and determination with exceptional smarts, variety and by trying to win the rounds with a good output as he was seldom going to stop anyone. That is how he has made it to the top. He abandoned it against Provodnikov and a similar failure to stay smart cost him dear here.

Bradley was winning round 6 and decided to give it away with a pointless 20 seconds of trying to look flash on the ropes. That made it 3-3 and got Manny into a groove for the first time proper and his mind was all a flutter from that point on.

Manny is a great fighter, but Bradley is a very good fighter too and that was a golden opportunity that I think he let slip. That wasn't prime Manny by any stretch, but that wasn't the best Bradley either, and just maybe all those decisions and rounds have worn Bradley down too.

I think Bradley was and still is severely underrated. I'm a big believer in his skill, his athletic/physical gifts and his heart and tenacity.

That being said, UNFORTUNATELY he seems to have the "Meldrick Taylor" syndrome where he's fighting stupidly out of foolish pride.

The way he fought JMM - absolutely brilliant. He outfoxed one of the greatest p4p fighters of this generation and, despite what some people think, won convincingly.

But the way he fought Provodnikov and Manny were both completely stupid and he paid the price both times by taking terrible damage from Provod and finally in losing to Pac.

I don't know why the dude gets so much hate: he's a good dude, he has a great back story where he was nearly broke a few years back, and in the ring he has as much heart and courage as anyone (even when it's to his detriment). Give the guy a break, it's not his fault he got a gift vs Pacquiao.

[Gandalf]

Well said. I don't like being down on Bradley as I have really enjoyed seeing him rise up, and I think he is a splendid fighter. His only limitation is power, but recently he seems to think he has a point to prove about going to war, trading, and trying to hurt the other guy. He has never really done that, so I don't know what has changed. Maybe he wants to win hearts, but I liked him the way he was. He was tidy, efficient, and got the work done. I don't want him to be known for his great chin as he is going to regret it later. Just stay smart, win fights, be busy, entertain, and bank the coin wisely. He doesn't need to be godzilla and stop people.

I feel a bit sorry for Bradley as he seems to have let the pride chip away at him and he has tried to become something he isn't in response. He has nothing to prove beyond winning the fight and that alone. Him deciding that it must be a stoppage and nothing else, is extremism. He needs to reign that in and get back on track. The Marquez performance was a good one and this was a regression. Learn and move on.

bradley probly is a very decent honest trustworthy fella, and probably doesnt deserve all the hate in real terms

i mean theres some boxers ive liked in the past who are probably awful people and bradley doesnt come across as a bad person

he is just a nob who i find difficult to watch outside the ring

If you had read correctly man you'd have noticed I said that.

Bradley is not a clown, he is Bradley who is a complete idiot. He has always been but you have never noticed. I still like the idiot.

I don't agree with you this time, sir, I believe he really did hurt his leg. I kept telling my buds he hurt his leg and they kept telling me I was full of it.
He said he hurt it in the 4th but I thought it happened earlier, anyway there was a change, he just didn't have his pins under him.

Two fights two leg excuses. Please, Bradley needs to fight in the special olympics or have Pac fight him in a wheelchair because Pac is busting them ankles like a point guard. Funny how Pac had the nerve to mock Bradley on sock issue in 1st fight but used cheap socks as an excuse in a fight vs JMM. This is the kinda of shit that makes people hate Pactards

Why leave it to you when I can say it a lot more intelligently?

[J_Undisputed]

As someone else as has said. He was always a clown people are realizing it now. I don't think he's a bad Guy. He seems like a good person and all. His ego is just that he always bought second helpings of his own BS before anyone else got in line. In terms of a fighter, people always said that he was good at everything and special at nothing. I can buy that. I respect Bradley in that he never settled for what was supposed to be his station in life. He shot bigger and trained hard. Unfortunately, if that was all you needed to be the best, or rich or famous, etc.. then life would be fair. But its not and A surfeit of ego/confidence doesn't make up for a deficit of skill or power.

Bradley does his best and for that You have to give the guy credit. He's at the top of a crop of fighters I like to call try-hards. They don't know or don't care that they have been listed as a second rate and that allows them to make it further than they normally would and be almost the best. I say almost because the best fighters humbly ask how they can stay the best and someone like bradley, considers himself the best already but unrecognized. Pride and ego can make you stubborn and being stubborn limits a person.

Bradleys legs always get torn up in a fight with Manny because Manny has a much stronger lower body. Pacs legs were strong and he has a solid base so whenever the feet would get tangled up, Tim would take the worst of it and get turned around, while his upper body was flailing and effect his balance and shift his eight around when his legs weren't under him to support him. hell on the joints, and ligaments.

I think he blew himself out firing all those missed haymakers, and the "flash" was trying to lure Pac into a big shot.

That was the difference in the fight: Pac fought smart like a world class, top p4p fighter should, and Bradley fought like an amateur.
