Now that Timothy Bradley has Retired - Does He Make Hall of Fame?

Yes, easily

 

Of course he is. I'm shocked by the amount of people that are saying no. Not an ATG by any means but his resume is stellar.

 

Easily. He’s only ever lost to Pac, and although he lost the first fight, I scored it 7-5 or 8-4 so he made it close enough.

On the books he beat Pac and JMM.

 

Dwyer told me this was the "Tim Bradley Era"....he's in fo sho...

 

He should and must because lesser fighters such as a certain Barry McGuigan have entered the Hall of Fame. The only person who beat him was the very best Pacquiao on points. We must remember he beat Pacquiao the first time.

 

I think a lot of fans go hard on Bradley because of the result of the first Pac fight which he should have lost but, the history books will always say different. His resume is pretty damn strong and the war with Provodnikov makes for further consideration.

I remember watching him manhandle Witter in his first title challenge and thinking '****, I hope he stays away from Hatton'.

Clearly one of the top fighters at 140/147 of recent times and always worth watch.

 

He wasnt inducted as a fighter lol, he got in as a contributor

 

Great fighter but I don’t think he got there. Marquez was a good win but if he only had a few other good wins under his belt, he would’ve convince me more.

I’m just surprised no one ever mentioned him as an opponent for Mayweather. It could’ve been a good fight.

 

When he signed with Top Rank it became a difficult fight to make. Can’t begrudge him because he got 3 fights with Pacquiao and 1 with Marquez. Really good fighter was little Timothy Bradley and deserves to be in the Hall of Fame without question.

 

I think the Hall of Fame is too important to say Why not? There has to be standards. He fought everyone older. He was very good, but hall of fame? No. Not to me.

 

I agree, I think every sport needs to raise their standards for induction to their respective Hall's. I've always believed it was for the elite of the sport. Timmy had a very good career. He was a very good fighter. I have tons of respect for his accomplishments and his career. But in my opinion, he wasn't an elite talent, and there's nothing wrong with that. I think he will get in and that's cool, good for him. I would just prefer the bar to be set higher for entry. Shouldn't the Hall of Fame be for the best of the best? I guess there are just so many different ways to interpret what constitutes a hall of famer.

 

No he ducked Khan at the chance to unify.

 

No.

Hall of Very Good; but not Hall of Fame.

 

Yes and no. I think he deserves it, but I also think there’s lots of guys that aren’t in there yet that should be before he is.

 

He’s finally inducted.
