    1. He lost to Pacquiao. That was terrible terrible judging. I have watched that fight 4 times and never had Timmy closer than 2 rounds down. His ankle excuse was crap too. He had zero problems jumping all around when he "won"

    2. He lost to Provodnikov. There were two rounds he was dominated and basically out on his feet, but the round wasn't scored a 10-8. Again, incompetent judges who seem to only score a 10-8 on a knockdown. Pretty close fight but clear enough to me as to who won.

    3. Close fight with JMM. I had no doubt he won, but a close fight that could have gone to the bigger name guy.

    4. When he ducked Amir to try to land the Pacquiao fight. Khan is chinny as h*ll but Bradley's punching technique is some of the worst I have ever seen. Khan probably would have beaten him.

    5. The Devon fight....anyone remember this disaster? Devon was on a stolen bicycle all night for no apparent reason. He was acting like Bradley was Ezzerd Charles or something. Terrible gameplan. I mention this because other fighters would get raked over the coals for a boring fight. (Even though it wasn't Tims fault)

    6. He gets ZERO flack for fighting in a smaller division. This guy cuts a lot of weight. We're talking about a guy who in the ams was fighting Trout, Vanes, Ward.

    I like his attitude though and he works hard. Fun guy to watch in the ring and I always cheer for him, except for the fact that I'm yelling at the TV for him to learn how to punch. I'm surprised he isn't more popular... he is one lucky dude in some senses with the recent fights he has had.

    Bradley is good, and Bradley takes on the toughest rivals. I think he got lucky against Pacman, but I think the rest was deserved.

    He has taken tough fights and I don't think he gets enough credit. His recent resume trumps most guys entire careers. Even the Devon fight was a big risk against another young gun.

    He fought Ward in the ams? But you are just being negative. I can at least tell that you follow the guy and aren't just making stuff up but still, you're just being negative.

    Tim stays in shape year round. Him blowing up after the Pac fight was the exception. Tim fights at 147 and i would say he's a small ww. He's shorter than Pacqiuao for crying out loud.

    And he's been improving on his craft. He was much more reckless and wild just a few years ago but his latest fight showed that he has truly polished up his game.

    I'm a big fan of him. He trains hard and dedicates himself to his craft and has the heart of a warrior.

    You realise he fought ward at welters in the AM, wards just gotten bigger.. i mean cmon he's 5' 5 or something, what weight do you want him to fight at exactly. Look at his physique, without all the muscle he'd weigh way less, i actually think he's fighting in a weight class too high for his size because of all the muscle. Probably the reason he's no punching power at 147.

    Really? I didnt know he fought Ward in the ams..

    But Bradley is not even that big, maybe he just didnt grow right after turning pro. Cant criticise him for that surely

    Bradley has one of the best resumes at 140-147.

    He was lucky against Pac. Hell he was lucky to even get a fight with Pac let alone the decision, but he fought well.

    You could say he was lucky against Prov but it was a close fight and he was the bigger name in that fight.

    The weight division argument is BS. If you can make weight without it being detrimental to your performance and/or health then that's fine and what most boxers do. He's short, hasn't even got power at 140 and makes weight. Can't say he doesn't belong at WW.

    His limitations served him

    Bob Arum can easily market Pacman or Provo with another Loss and public support

    Timmie needs to stay undefeated to be marketed
