    Sorry buddy but it is clear Bradley isn't that big and that pic is from an earlier date.

    the weight has nothing to do with the ability to take a punch..or not

    Losing weight and dehydrating can affect your punch resistance. I'm not saying it would have been much different but I believe it affects the punch resistance even though provodnikov has probably enough power to hurt Bradley even in his best condition.

    Bradley probably lost 20 IQ points in 36 minutes in the fight.

    He keeps giving excuses when he wins. Imagine what he's gonna do when he loses???

    If anything, the fact he was heavier in the ring than Ruslan probably helped his punch resistance. Look at how it helps Chavez Jr. at 160...

    not if you're out of shape and dehydated.

    Cutting a lot of weight to be bigger on fight night can help you, but at a certain point the benefits diminish and become a hinderance

    timmy realy goes in my nerves. he had a cloth fight, in the minds of the judges he won, he should just shut up and fight on and not make excuses.
