    They aren't mutually exclusive so your question makes no sense.

    Not mutually exclusive? Are you saying that not being able to walk is what made him fall out of love with boxing? I don't get the whole wheelchair thing...

    I'm saying him being in a wheelchair after the fight has nothing to do with him balloning up in weight to 180 after usually walking around at 150 at the most.

    Oh so they Are mutually exclusive. Got it. I thought it might have been is I remember I gained a lot of weight when I broke my arm. It was a ***** to get the weight off. I actually stopped smoking weed for like six months and f you can believe that! Lol!! Anyways back to the topic. I hope this match made him "fall in back in love" with boxing. He truly is a very talented fighter. We need more like him.

    They aren't mutually exclusive, one happening doesn't mean the other can't happen.

    IE Tim legitimately needing the wheel chair after the fight doesn't mean that he is lying about an injury if he says he got out of weight, not because of a physical disability, but because he lost love for the game and stopped training and etc.

    You understand?

    well whose fault is this. These weight excuses don't mean much. Bradley won so that is all which matters but to mention the weight is Bradley trying to say his next fight will be different and he will not be weakened. But a professional should get in shape and if he is not, why mention the weight? Either way he won, but he made it hard on himself if it is true. The problem with weight excuses are had he lost no one would care because the loss is still on his record.

    Your post is extremely stupid.
    Of course he said the weight issue was his fault.
    Of course he said his punch resistance was effected by his rapid weight loss.
    Of course he said he will fight differently, now that he will no longer let himself get out of shape like that again.

    What you are trying to critique him on is down right ******ed.

    I understand what you're saying but I thought the definition of mutually exclusive was that the events can't occur at the same time. I believe you are saying that they didn't occur at the same time henceforth they are mutually exclusive. But that's neither here nor there. Glad Bradley has found his love of boxing again!

    The 185-pound Bradley looks pretty similar the normal Bradley, don't ya' think?

    I know everyone's body works differently, but, if you're a man of that size and you've ballooned up to 185 pounds, then you're gonna' look it (around the face and neck). Ask my man, Ricky Hatton...

    Bradley, in my opinion, is exaggerating his claims. 185 pounds and then 20 pounds to lose in the final weeks, my arse.

    I think he is trying to save himself in the press and build up the JMM fight. Weight can make a guy weaker, but why say it? Just prove it in the next fight.
    I try not to mention Roberto Duran as much now because Duran fans are going to come out and get mad again like they do, but Duran with his excuses with Leonard in the second fight where he diminished Leonard's win with an excuse for a performance was to me negative for boxing. I think Bradley should come out and prove in his next fight that it was the weight by beating JMM, if that is indeed the fight he is going to fight. Otherwise it takes away from Prov.
    As it was, it was a great fight. Why diminish it.

    Mutually exclusive means if one happens the other can not, that could have a temporal element, but it usually is used with regard to two events.

    I'm saying Bradley being in a wheelchair has nothing to do with his gaining weight by his lack of love for the game. They are two seperate events, the wheel chair situation could have contributed along with his lack of love, or it could have had nothing to do with it. It is irrelevant.

    That said the two events as presented by you aren't mutually exclusive.

    Save himself from what. He won the fight. He doesn't have to make any excuses for winning, so what you say makes no sense.

    He has no reason to make any excuse for a win, so him saying he didn't handle the punches well because of the rapid weight loss makes sense.


    Face wise Tim looks very fat compared to the Manny one, you can't see the body well so you don't know how he carries weight either.
