Timbo has clearly lost a step, he's probably on Cotto's ¨damaged goods¨ territory now, not shot to **** yet, but getting closer and closer to it Otherwise he wouldn't have struggled and gotten a draw with a C level (-b fighter at most) who had his hands full with freakin Brandon Rios not long ago. Some people might want to point out at the Provodnikov beatdown as the starting point of Bradleys physical decline, but Bradley looked sharper than ever in his next fight against (roided to the gills) ATG JMM so it was Pac and Pac alone who caused Timbo's decline the Pacquiao rematch will be remembered as the final performance of prime Bradley Pac beat the prime out of him, from now on it's past prime Bradley only. Timbo's ¨0¨ was not the only thing that Pacman took away in that rematch who agrees?
If he decides to fight a "smart" fight he will have no problem. He was busy throwing haymakers against Pacman for some reason. How the hell he thought that was a good choice I don't know. Then in this fight he decided to go the "entertaining" route again. There were a few rounds that looked like he thought he was Brandon Rios with the 1950s phone booth style. WTF? It was entertaining though. Bottom line, he still did far more than enough to win that fight and he made it a pretty entertaining fight for even casual fans. Usually bad decisions are on the corrupt side. This one was just bad judging that I don't understand. Oh well, I guess he can fight him again and bank another 2 million. Why Not?
No, Timmy is still very good, and in my opinion is still #3 ww and top 10 p4p. He dominated Chaves even with just 1 eye. He is feather fisted but he is willing to engage, didn't run like Lara (and some other boxers). Thurman needs to learn from him, especially that he has power and speed to KO anyone in welter.
deal:deal Pradley was never truly shattered by Pac, so how the hell he got ruined? lol The thing is Tim took too much time to rest after rematch with Pac's. I have seen his photo 1-1.5 month ago and Bradley looked so fat and big, no wonder that Tim's famous reflexes and speed weren't in the best form vs Chavez.
One bad perfomance,and everybody is yelling Bradley is ruined or past his prime. That could be true,but please.can we wait 1-2 fights more before we say Bradley is washed up joke or bum. Sometimes this forum is a joke. Hope you noticed my sarcasm,peace
Despite being gnashed to death in the head by butts, Bradley still beat a very credible, larger man in Chaves. There is no evidence that he 'got ruined.'
He wasn't ever as good as people say. He got overhyped on a series of remarkable gift decisions over decent and ATG fighters. What you are seeing now is his real level and he should have got a favorable decision win against Chaves anyway but, you know, female judges. First CJ Werleman gives him a robbery decision over Pacquaio, then Patricia Morse Jarman gives him a gift over Marquez, now Julie Lederman deprived him of a Chavez win.
He looked this way against Chavez because Bob pressures his fighters to brawl. Its well known that Bob frowns upon boxers, Bradley wouldn't want to become the next Rigo.
hahaah if he is overhyped then garcia is worse look at bradleys resume and record at 140 and 147 he only lost to pacman but you have other welterweights like maidana losing to khan,kotel,alexander so what does it make guys like khan and maidana ?
The psychological abuse he received after the robber from fans throughout the world is what ruined him.
he looked VERY good against marquez but when he fought pac pac made him wilt under the pressure i will never forget round 11 were he ran like a ***** pac hit him with some big shots his will was broken
