I saw the Timothy Bradley fight tonight. Bradley looked pretty decent; however, and this in my honest opinion, I think Bradley loses to a focused Zab Judah. Bradley seems a little too wild to me with his punches. Pac would beat him; it wouldn't even be a close fight, and he may as well NEVER mention Floyd's name. I think Bradley needs to stay at 140; as I don't think he'd beat Cotto either. The only 147 pounder that I think he has a serious chance at beating is Berto. Don't get me wrong, Bradley is a damn good fighter. I just don't think he has the skill to beat a Pacman and definitely not a Mayweather. As for the other 140 pounders I think he has a solid chance to beat all of them with the exception of Devon Alexander. Khan is good, but I think Bradley could take him. I also think that he could take Marcos Maidana too. That's my opinion.
I agree with you on that, bruh. Bradley is very good. He's a class below Manny and Floyd, though. He's swings a little wide, at times. Manny would eat him up, with short punches, and pressure. Floyd would manhandle him, at this point. Not to mention, he'd counter him to death. He's a bit undersized for 147. And, in terms of sheer talent, even now, Judah comes out on top. Even at 140, size would favor Judah, as well as speed and power. It's always a matter of which Zab will show up though.
I like Timothy. Hands aren't that hard, but he's consistence and seems to be smart in the ring and out will's opponents. Seems confident in his skills and able to adjust well. I think he should stay at Jr. though. "What are we going to do tonight Brain?." "The Same thing we do every night Pinky, TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD" Timothy "The Brain" Bradley
Bradley is simply too small to do great damage at 147. I like him a lot at 140, but he's a half notch down from Alexander, IMO. We'll see.
He was focused against Kostya no doubt. He just got caught. It happens. However, before he got caught, he was outboxing Kostya though. I am not trying to make Zab out to be more than what he is. I am just saying, Zab is, potentially, a very skilled fighter when he is on top of his mental game. Hell, even when he fought Cotto, Cotto had to foul the hell out of him eventually leading to Zab's breakdown. He even had Floyd worried those first few rounds. He is a serious threat to anybody when he is focused. He even knocked out Cory Spinks; which, Jermain Taylor couldn't even do. Nor could Roman Karmazin--who lost to Spinks. Honestly I see Zab causing trouble for anybody at 140. As strange as it may sound, the main ones that I see causing Zab trouble at 140 would be Marcos Maidana and Devon Alexander. Styles make fights; and Bradley's style would be tailor-made for Judah. I just think Zab can beat Bradley--and Khan too.
Cosign BRUH. That is exactly my point. Look at what a focused Zab did to Cory Spinks in their rematch? Cory Spinks got KTFO. He also had Mayweather in trouble too in those opening rounds of their fight. A focused Zab, is a dangerous Zab. Period.
I've seen Tim Bradley's last 8 fights and noticed some things. He should definitely stay away from any fighter that possesses a dynamite left hook. That's a punch he's susceptible to. Big time.
