How do you rate Timothy Bradley?

He clearly beat both those guys. Holt only made it close because of the two knockdowns. Who the hell has Ortiz beat? Has he beat anyone near the class of Holt or Witter? We do know that he got beat up and quit against Maidana. A guy who lacks heart and is not a great talent, is going to have a hard time with Bradly. Khan got knocked out by a C level fighter, and has been carefully matched pretty much his whole career. He's another one who hasn't beat anyone on Holt or Witter's level.

 

I think he'll beat Maidana too.

Maidana is a determined brawler with a great chin, but Bradley is to versatile. He can outbox Maidana at times, and be aggressive when he needs to be.

Plus he will hit Maidana in the body which will slow him down. I think Bradley wins by decision, and puts on a dominating performance that shows he's clearly an elite fighter.

The only thing I think Bradley lacks is Power.

 

It wasn't really very competitive to be honest.

 

I'm a Campbell fan but it wasn't competitive. Bradley was clearly getting the better of Nate. Just admit you don't like Bradley an move on.

 

Once you get knocked out like that, you change as a fighter. You're a little more tentitive. Hatton has been brutally knocked out twice now. That's not good news for a swarming brawler. All the reports say that he's vastly out of shape. Reportedly, he tried to go back to the gym and quit after a few days. This guy is mentally, and physically done. He should not fight ever again.

No he does not have as good of a claim as Bradley, plain and simple. Just because you felt he couldn't beat Urango doesn't change this.

The one stoppage was after he lost to Bradley. And that guy really isn't a journeyman. Holt has also beat Diaz and Torres. Those are better than any wins Amere Con or Ortiz have.

 

Thats how I see it really. He got put down twice by Holt and had a ND with Campbell, I dont understand all the hype at this time, but who knows?

 

What did he do? He won the first 3 rounds and was up 3-0. He could get to Nate anytime he wanted had the faster hands and was clearly wining the fight.

 

Look man I'm a Nate fan and picked him to win the fight but he was losing that fight and was losing clearly he was outworked and outlanded and judging by those early rounds I don't think he would have ever had an answer for Bradley's workrate or speed.

 

A lot of people on this forum don't understand that styles make fights. I agree that Bradley's win over Witter was better than Alexander's. Not necessarily the fashion of victory but the timing in which it happened. Not to mention he dropped Witter and Alexander didn't. Could it be that Bradley has the same thing that Mayweather has. Nobody is ever the same after they lose to Floyd. As for Urango, he hasn't looked good in years. He got schooled by Berto(ok he did move up a division but still looked like an amateur) almost got KOed by Bailey(who is a very hard puncher but lacks heart big time). As a matter of fact who has Urango beaten?The guy is a gatekeeper now. It shocked me when Alexander said that he felt if he could beat Urango, he felt he could beat anyone at 140!(huh) I rate Bradley very high and the scary thing is I think he is just now reaching his prime. If he starts knocking people out then he would be respected more.

 

I'm more impressed with Alexander.
