    maybe in the Iron Chin HOF, those bombs he took from Provo were scary at times

    Good fighter and he accomplished a lot in the sport but he's no HOFer.

    R U nuts? Tim doesn't have an argumente but holding wins against two future HOF. Montell Griffin is and was not HOF even though he beat James and Roy by disq.

    devon
    provo (foty)
    campbell (on his way of an easy win)

    Agreed. He still needs a few more big wins to secure a spot in there in my opinion. Though in terms of "Fame"(which is what the HOF is all about) he definitely belongs there for the robbery against Pacquiao which brought him a lot of fame anyway.

    IF a guy like kostya Tszyu is the Hall of fame, then so should Tim Bradley.
    Tim Bradley has the 4th best resume among active fighters. Beside Hopkins,Pac,Mayweather and Jones Jr, what other active fighter have a better resume than Bradley? If Juan Manuel Marquez is considered hall of fame, why shouldn't Tim Bradley? when you look at their records, its obvious Tim Bradley has a superior resume than Marquez.

    If Bradley retires today, he should make the hall of fame.

    He beat two HOFers and whupped on all of the B level fighters he faced. His career hasn't been long enough yet but as long as he doesn't rack up a bunch of bad losses going forward he's a Hall of Fame lock.
