    Bradley came along at a time when the best fighters in the world happen to be in or within his weightclass & also happen to be the most popular fighters of their generation.

    I liken Bradley to say a modern day Aaron Pryor.

    I don't think he is hated much, pac has a large fan base so of course he was going to catch a lot of heat after beating pac. It was Tims biggest fight to date & this was on another level of being in the spot light that he has ever been in. Pac has a whole nation behind him, aswell as celebirtys etc, plus the *******s & is Bob Arums cash cow. Hell, even JMM takes a lot of heat now & thats that he Koed Pac. It was probably to much to handle at the time for Bradley. He was never as popular as Pac, so of course you are going to hear more people complain then give him credit.

    Close fight but felt Pac won, & because Bradley won does not mean he should get the kind of hate he recieved (death threats & threatning calls made to him & his family home). Pac did not get as much hate when he robbed JMM in the 3rd fight & he said he felt he clearly won.

    Yea its getting a bit out of hand I thought Pacman got robbed as much as the next man but it was not Tim fault we got stupid judges. He is probably talking more trash on 24/7 because you got morons threatening his family over a decision he had no control over, and even more morons discrediting him as if he had no good wins before the pac fight look at what he has done in his career so far (outside of Pacman who is a future ATG):

    Witter (Wend to England as a huge underdog and won, does this satisfy some dicks that ***** about fighters not leaving america?)

    Alexander (I picked Devon in this fight thought he was a slick boxer but Tim proved to have more heart and was enough to win

    L.Peterson (beat him like Alexander when he was undefeated no telling if Peterson was on roids too)

    Provodnikov (everyone seems to have a love fest with this guy well guess who beat him dispite getting knocked down and hurt he kept fighting some bitched about him not being exciting was that exciting enough?)

    Not to mention wins against belt holders like Abregu Cherry Holt & Vasquez come on guys its a real good resume anyway you slice it

    Yes he is not the hardest puncher I get that but guy gives it his all fight in and fight out and is willing to fight the best If he is too technical he's boring if he gets into wars he is a club fighter he cant seem to please nobody seems. Again I cant blame him now for talking more trash on 24/7 because everyone seems to be discrediting him so he might as well give himself some credit nobody else does

    In boring fights, he also loves using his head.

    Alexander still has nightmares of Bradley's big head..

    He knew he clearly beat him, so why would he not only give Bradley another fight but reward him with millions of dollars? No one had any interest in a rematch since they all knew who actually won. Good try!

    He punches like a girl

    he's fighting style is boring to watch

    he uses his big head as a third arm

    he got gifts against Pac and Provo

    his drama queen act in a wheelchair was pathetic

    ¨Desert Storm¨ is a stupid nickname



    that been said, I still hope he beats Marqueer

    Not really sure but the bogus Pacman decision obviously plays a role. That aside, he's got one of the best resumes south of 154.

    Mate honestly didn't feel the fight was even close myself remember watching at the time and scoring it 10- 2 Pacquiao it was a complete robbery honestly don't think you could watch the fight and give Bradley the win.

    The people who ***** about Bradley winning vs Pac are the same who claim Pacquiao is really 3-1/2-1-1 vs Marquez. The fact is Bradley has the best active resume outside of the obvious names May, JMM, Pac, Hop maybe Ward and that's it. He has a better resume than 80% of the guys that have fought at JWW/WW since 06, and for me 115-113 either way is the correct card, I get people are gonna argue scores but Pacquiao basically took off the first 2 1/2 mins of every round then would try to steal the round with a flurry. Bradley swept rounds 10-12 close everytime I score it and between round 1-9 its really only 1 round that you can say without a doubt Pac won everyone else is close enough that small things can tip it for either. Since most people add that Pac took it easy and won I say this maybe if he actually tried instead of coasting he would have actually won. My final point if Pacquiao truly felt some type of way about the decision he would have taken that rematch instead of getting KTFO by Marquez I mean some of the excuses people give for him not taking an immediate rematch are laughable, Roy Jones has a bs loss to Griffin 6 months one punch case closed,Mayweather-Castillo is another case, Williams-Martinez the list goes on, but I guess with Pacquiao that's not the case since he waited 5 years after the 1st Marquez robbery than another 5 years after the 2nd robbery.
