Am I the only Tim Bradley fan here??

You're not alone.

 

I've been a fan of his for a while now, and after seeing his personality shine before the Alexander bout...im even more of a fan now.

If he beats Khan next, I don't think you could argue against putting him top 5 P4P. And a possible bout with Mayweather or Pacquiao, he's earned it...win or lose.

 

Im a fan of Bradleys... But even if he beats Kahn i wouldnt rank him over Pac,floyd,Nonito or Martinez... Marquez would still be more accomplished but maybe id give him the nod since hes in his prime and Marquez on the slide. Bradley would have to do it impressively.... I think id have him around 5 if he beat Kahn.

Nonito has 2 big wins over (at the time) top 10 pfp fighters... Martinez beat Williams who was in manys top 5(IMO beat him twice) and a win over the linear MW champ Pavlik.. Both of them are in their primes like Bradley... And both have big equalizers that Bradley doesnt.

 

I'm on my phone, man. The 3 should have been a 5...:good

 

Not a fan of his head.

 

He is in my top 5 favorite active fighters 1. Floyd 2. Ward 3. JMM 4. Tim Bradley 5. Nonito. He doesn't really do anything amazing I guess. He is a all around fighter though. Number 1 140 pound fighter imo.

 

I can't like him and I honestly don't know why, I don't know whether if its his massive head and how he headbutts his opponents and causes cuts. And for all those saying he beats Khan... Come on, man... Amir Khan is effective at using his reach and height advantage... Bradley is much smaller than Khan and doesn't have the skills to nullify that advantage of Khans. I can see him rushing foward and trying to get Khan on the inside, and Khan will just push him off like he did Maidana and then throw out combos, I don't see this fight even being close if I am honest, or maybe I am being biased because a part of me doesn't like tim bradley? Who knows!

 

Good comparison at least to the Hw version of Holy. The Cruiser Holy was physically dominant and big punching with all the traits that he had at Heavy like Heart,tenacity etc. etc, truly awesome when you think how unbeateable he was at Cruiser... But at Hw i like the comparisons to Bradley undersized but physically very strong, respectable power but not really punchers(i still give Holy the nod Pfp) good speed (but not speed demons), tenacity,Heart,fights the toughest guys, Adonis builts, great use of their bald heads Both modest and good guys,but super confident in themselves, excellent chins(evanders was more proven thought), adapts to opponents style, Can box or slug.... I guess im not the only one who thought he was a mini holyfield been calling him this for the last few months too.. Of course hes not as proven as Holy and not an atg, but these 2 guys remind me of each other more than any other 2 guys right now.

 

I think he has the skills to get inside where he's much better than Khan, at that range, I mean. Just the same, I think it's a fight that could turn out several ways and a risky bet either way.

 

Definitely. Maidana being a lot cruder (is that even a word? I think I've just made that up...crude)...and showing some of the worst foot work ever, was able to close the distance and land on Khan. I don't see why Bradley couldn't.

I'm assuming this is what Roach will be working on.

 

Like Hagler-Hearns? I know thats a somewhat way out comparison :think

Most likely i dont see Kahn taking Tommys approach in trying to bomb out Bradley. But remember Kahn ended up getting drawn into Maidanas fight and letting him force his will on him... Bradley has way more skills and can really adapt i can see him getting inside and working over Kahn..... Just as i can see Kahn using his reach and jab,movement to beat Bradley but i dont see him being able to do that for 12 rounds..... Bradleys not the most powerful but he does have underrated power..... And im still not sold on Kahns chin.

 

Yeah, on the inside Khan is terrible, and I am a big Khan fan and I can admit that. I think I am actually just "hoping" that Khan pushes him away, but I am sure him and freddie already know what he is going to do and will think of a sufficient gameplan!

 

A couple years ago I was a much bigger fan of his. But when EVERY single one of your fights results with your opponent having a gaping hole due to a headbutt, somethings wrong. This sport means too much to just be busting people up with that ****. People thought Holy was bad, he aint got **** on Bradley.

 

Khan took Maidanas puches pretty well but I think Bradleys dome would be too much for him.

 

:good Me too.
