    Tim Bradley is a rad dude and I think he's got some big things ahead of him. Here's what amounts to my 'In-a-perfect-world' wishlist:

    Immediate rematch with Alexander--4/16 (coinciding with Khan's fight)
    *Not a fight I really want/need to see, but it's gonna happen sooner or later, might as well get it out of the way. 10 weeks away, plenty of time to train, and both guys were training for each other anyway. In reality they could do this even earlier.

    Amir Khan--June(Assuming Bradley wins the Alexander rematch)
    *Obviously a fight that's going to happen, I just hope they choose to do it NOW rather than let it build. Look at it as a buildup fight for their eventual rematch, since both guys are going to 147 soon.

    Andre Berto--September (boxoff to see who gets the big money fight)
    *Pacquaio will be available in September, but I don't think Arum will go for this fight. Cotto II is more likely at that time. Berto and Bradley have been calling out Pacquiao and Mayweather for a while, so this fight makes sense. Also a good way for Bradley to acclimate himself to 147. Even a fight against Maidana or Kotelnik (or a third fight with Alexander, if he's beaten those two guys) would be a nice fight at this time.

    Manny Pacquaio--December/January
    *And then the payoff. Bonus--win or lose, this fight will make him an attractive opponent for Mayweather. Win, Mayweather has to fight you. Lose, Mayweather wants to fight you. Win-win.


    As for Alexander, he's got to either win the rematch with Bradley and force a third fight, or beat Maidana, then Kotelnik. I wouldn't even complain if Alexander fought Lamont Peterson or Victor Ortiz. He just needs some quality performances to make himself marketable. His 'I'm just a poor boy from a poor family' storyline can only take him so far, seeing as how it applies to maybe 85% of pro boxers.

    I'll tell you, that is a regular murderers row for Lil Tim. I like him alot, but I think he'd be the underdog in all but the rematch vs D.A. I'll also tell you, he'd go for it though. He's not shy about taking a challenge.

    People need to stop bitching about him. Yeah he head butts too much, but not on purpose, he has bad habits and a big head and that head butt was both of theirs faults.
    He was fighting the third best guy in a toss up fight so ****, how good did you expect him to look.

    Lets all keep in mind that Bradley came into this fight suffering from the flu...Still trained his ass off and beat the ***** out of devon. I appreciate his skills as a boxer(still has a lot to improve" and most definately appreciate and respect Bradley as a person.

    Absolutely. I think if boxing's gonna change it has to start with the fighters, and Bradley is just the kind of guy that could leave a tremendous impact on the sport if he has his way.

    Kind. Polite. Dignified. honourable. Commited. Strong willed. Skilled. A good role model. Fights the best. Always eats well. Awesome physical attributes. Stays in top shape. Always wins. Fast. Atheletic. Strategically smart.

    You gotta be mad not to like this guy just because one fight didn't get ya hot under the collar.

    He has the best resume in 140. Usually happned after one stink fight. People bad mouth them. But the guy just keeps winning. They said the same thing about khan after doing the chicken dance. But because his fight was exciting people will for get about it. As for his head. after his track record. Ref's gotta start taking some points, seriously. Also hate that move where you get so low that your at opponents crotch level.

    The fight was dull entirely because of Alexander. Bradley was trying to press the action all night, he just didn't have an opponent willing to engage.

    There isn't a sane person in the world who wouldn't appreciate Bradley.

    Last night's performance wasn't his best, though.

    He's a smart fighter, good all rounder. I like him a lot. Apart from the ending that was a pretty good fight last night too, I don't get what everybody's bitching about.

    Doubt it is intentional but he is a dirty fighter. He holds and hits. (locks his arm punches with other) and leads with his head. The most damage comes from his headbuts.
    No win situation to fight Tim Bradley and certainly a no win for fans.
