    He is and he isn't. At same time as he's had the benefit of the doubt in the ring once or twice, he doesn't have anything like the fan base or following you'd expect for a guy with his résumé.

    For the record, I agree that he should have lost to Manny. Against Prov, I think he was 'lucky' to make it to the final bell, but in between moments of nearly being pole-axed, he'd done enough to make it close on the cards; certainly didn't think it was a robbery. If only Howard Foster had been on duty that night...

    Bradley is an underrated fighter who beat Pacquiao fair and square, put a masterful schooling on Marquez (right after he ko'd Pacquiao) and also went the distance and outpointed Provodkinov who just brutalized a very competent fighter in Alvarado.

    Long story short Bradley is vastly underrated by boxing fans. Probably because he is an actual decent human being and not some jewelry wearing arrogant scumbag which is what some of you seem to respect nowadays.

    Bradley would not beat Provo again and Manny would punish him next time around.

    I remember timmie riding a wheelchair right after he "won" against Pac. That sure was funny as hell.

    Gee, we finally have a black fighter who will fight anyone and with vigor
    and heart, and all losers like you can do is sh-t all over him and say he
    was lucky? Listen you can, nobody is lucky in boxing this long. Bradley
    got a gift decision against Pac, but he's EARNED everything else he's
    done in this sport.
    Haters, do we really need 'em?

    Pac easily outboxed Bradley.

    Provodnikov knocked Bradley down early in the fight and left Bradley on the canvas, yet Bradley got decision wins in both fights...........

    thas the problem. fans are too fixated with the W and L.

    win loss or draw, at least bradley fought them all.

    well maybe not khan, but he fought a guy better than khan.

    we should encouraged this type of behavior from the boxers.

    the outcome is not in their hands.

    Bradley is a good guy and a good fighter - and he fights the best he can get. Not a fan but I respect the dude and I don't think he is particularly Lucky (apart from the Pac decision which was only 1 time)

    All fighters get hate but most fight fans have a lot of respect for Timmy - myself included. I don't think it has anything to do with his colour - he's just a good guy who will fight anyone but who perhaps lacks something to capture the imagination (great power or speed etc.).
