    Good decision. He hasn't looked good in a while. His speed and timing weren't there anymore.

    Good call on his part top rank had no real options at 147 and he and Crawford are boys might as well now out now. Enjoy your retirement champ.

    I don't even see him close to being a HOF fighter. And before people say well since you're a Pac fan you're just talking bad about Pacquiao's wins over Bradley. IDGAF. I'm being objective here. The man Tim Bradley is heavily overrated.

    JMM was the man who went toe to toe, punch for punch with a prime Manny Pacquiao multiple times down at Featherweight. Tim Bradley caught an undersized, KTFO, past prime, non killer version of Pacquiao and still lost 3 times. He doesn't deserve all this legacy for his losses to Pac. He got beat by a small, old fighter.

    And then besides Pac who did he fight? Devon Alexander is one of his best wins. That's not borderline HOF. It's not even close to HOF.

    Happy to hear that... He wasn't shot, but the wars were starting to catch up to him and it was only a matter of time before he found himself in a similar position to Guerrero. It's doubtful that he would have had much for the younger and fresher Spence, Thurman, Porter or even Brook. He might have had a few good fights left in him, but it's certainly the more pragmatic choice to call it a day.

    I didn't think much of him when he was coming up. It took me a good few years before it dawned on me that he was actually a really good fighter. I think this is the perfect time for him to get out he had a great career. Nice guy too.

    Provodnikov ended Bradley's career, after that fight Bradley was slurring his speech, Provodnikov won the fight, beat the living hell out of him, yet the criminal judges gave it to Bradley, they did the same when Pac beat Bradley up................

    Isn't it ironic the fighter who received a gift decision vs Pac went to accuse him of having lost his passion and drive to win, yet retires a few months younger than Pac at the time of robbery?

    Enjoy your retirement, Timmy, and please go wash that mouth of yours.

    Did someone give you a 12 round beating like that? An American by any chance? I'm would explain how you ended up as a rambling bot.
