    Tim Bradley has become a solid champion since taking the belt from Jr Witter .. he has escalated far beyond what many deemed him capable of and is now on his way to being one of those hard to beat confident title holders who look better the longer they hold the championship.. I see him still dominating and cleaning house through 2010 and start being recognised as a top draw crowd puller , charismatic and capable he is escalating towards becoming a superstar and i love seeing him fight, a pro in every sence of the word, his conditioning is absolutely flawless..

    Hopefully he fights on HBO BAD or a mega fight undercard to get some more exposure.Showtime isn't what it used to be, despite having some excellent matchups...

    i agree and he wants to fight the best,khan would be an awesome fight if they could get that on.

    i would also like to see hatton have a crack at regaining the 140 crown,but he will need some confidence bum fights first.

    He's been fighting like one but he has not been becoming one imo. He has beaten some really good underrated opponents which did not have the name they deserved.

    yes.....he's a very capbable and all around good fighter but he does like power. It looks like he hits hard with all that speed but nothing seems to happen to his opponents when he connects flush.

    Care to exand any further..?

    He seemed to shoot out of nowhere, to a title shot in the UK. Obviously his physique looked intimidating so UK fans weren't sure what to expect coming into that Witter fight (all the UK TV broadcasting team from ITV told us was that he uses his head a lot) but he proved that night that he belonged at championship level and I think he's improved ever since, it'll be interesting to see how far he can go. He's one to keep your eye on in my opinion

    He reminds me of James 'Buddy' McKirt.

    This is the obvious criticism, guess we'll have to wait and see if a lack of power hurts him as he continues to step up the quality of opposition, could be a real factor if he moves up in weight?

    He did have enough power to put Witter down though, what are everyones thoughts on Bradleys chin? Seemed solid but what sort of questions did the Holt fight raise? Wasn't he down twice in that one?

    He's a decent fighter but he's definately no superstar. He obviously lacks any real power and has been put on his arse on a couple of occasions.

    True! Not yet. But the kid has potential to be one....if he continues to win. The problem is he doesn't have power and US fans like a guy with some KO's.
