Tim Brady retired?

Tom we hardly knew ye!

Bradley was a great fighter, not a lot of power, not a ton of speed....kind of this era's Carmen Basilio, very tough that guy.

Wow. I didn't notice that until you mentioned it. Haha.

When he came over and knocked Witter about and on his arse I thought he was going to be dynamite. If you'd said then he was going to be a bit powderpuff with a 35% KO ratio or whatever it is I'd have thought you were a mental.

Bradley was built like a body builder and yet could not really punch that hard but he did fight top draw fighters once he became champion.

Tim also had a lot of heart and determination, breaking his ankles against Manny in their first fight.

The only person he lost to was Manny Pac, a very solid career. Stylistically Manny was just too difficult without enough pop to hold him off, but even then he fought 36 hard rounds. I would have loved to have seen Bradley against Cotto, Mayweather, and Hatton. Two of them would have been classics and the other one might have been a watchable Mayweather fight. Bradley would have had a decent shot in all of them. Just very tough and when he put his mind to it he was very intelligent too.
