    Protect yourself at all times, I dont think he is like holy, you culd see clearly that he didnt intentionally butted him. Im a fan of bradley has a fantastic attitude that only a few posses in boxing at the moment.

    I know he doesn't purposefully do it, but the fact is, he does ram his head in faces all too often. Just because it's accidental, it doesn't mean he should be free from criticism. Just like you can be cautioned and punished for accidently low-blowing someone, I believe referees should keep keep a stern eye on those fighters who have a notorious history of accidently headbutting opponents. Yes it may be their style which contributes to it, but even then, they must be watched over carefully. It's not fair on the people who are on the recieving end of them.

    This has nothing to do with his attitude and personality. Bradley's a great guy.

    Theres a much lesser chance that Floyd would get butted in a prospective matchup between the two. Floyd is not a southpaw like Alexander and Floyd doesn't come in to clinch as often as Alexander does.

    I'm not alone after all, well said. :good

    I however will say that I do respect that Bradley is cleaning up a stacked division and is willing to take on all comers.

    Well I like the mentality but at the same time I also have to think about how his opponents feel like they are being taken out of a fair fight. Fight after fight his opponents get headbutted and come out the worst. It might be accidental, but **** man, at some point you have to be pissed off.........

    Oh yeah, no doubt. His desire to fight whoever they put infront of him, is good to see. However, like you, I don't think it's fair that his opponents have to watch out for his head as well his fists. If he's reckless and he's treating it like a streetfight, then he should expect to be clamped down on by referees.

    The first major butt that caused the huge cut was clearly deliberate, one has to be blind not to see it.

    :lol: I like Timmah! But, he is neither ruthless (not even a finisher at the top level) nor reckless (defensively pretty sharp and responsible). He is really the opposite of that but hey, whatever. :lol:

    I don't think he's reckless, but I think he's ruthless. Even with his negligible power, he still keeps trying for the KO.

    He would be a superstar with serious KO power.

    I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one because it was a horrible gel of styles anyway, made even worse that Alexander is southpaw. But as he rightly pointed out, he's got history and his style lends itself to heads coming together and I don't think that's right. As several posters have said, it will lead to situations where opposition fighters have to have a game plan to stop his head and not just his hands.

    In terms of attitude, I genuinely believe he wants to face the best, he keeps himself in top condition and seems an all round nice chap. Imagine if he was a bit of a dick, people would be going insane demanding he should be banned!

    I don't think I've ever seen a fighter's out of ring persona and in the ring style clash so hard!
