DESERT STORM!!! The scary thing about Bradley is he has room for improvement. He is good for boxing. The heart of a lion and willing to fight anybody.
hmm no one has mentioned that the run dmc-type rapper bradley had intro him for his last 2 fights in palm springs didn't show up in pontiac
I can. The guy works hard. He has a plain wife who he didn't abandon when he got famous, he's raising her two kids without complaint and is excited about having his own child with her. He takes care of his family. He's just a good guy who gives everything he has to give every time he steps in the ring and beats guys more on heart, determination, workrate and toughness than with talent. What's not to like about him? He's everything a fighter should be.
He's got power, he just doesn't have big, shocking power. He can and does get his respect. He's no Naseem Hamed, but he's not Paulie Malignaggi either... he's somewhere in between.
He does not have decent power, but has good boxing skills, and contrary to some he is a clean fighter. He seems to be a responsible family man and trains hard and gives his best effort in every fight. For that I like him.
He's got a better punch than Diaz, he wobbles guys when he catches them clean more often than not. Diaz basically just pushed your head around with 1000 punches until you got dizzy.
Add me to the Bradley Express. He may not show ATG stuff but I like the dude! If he turns some of his punches he is could be really dangerous.
And another difference is simply that Juan Diaz couldn't fight Lamont Peterson the way Bradley did. Even though Bradley loves to mix it up, he does have some tricks up his sleeve.
Big fan. Completely dedicated, almost obsessively so. Class act. Ambitious (in boxing, who would have thought? You would think he'd be content just to shout that he's the best incessantly without wanting to prove it). He might not ever become great, but he's one of the very few that you know he did everything in his power to try to attain it.
**** yeah. For all the newcomers, welcome to Tim Bradley Appreciation. Only a select few of us projected him as the 140lb king years before his coronation-by-default (with Bradley-Alexander somehow not being for the Ring's championship despite Pacquiao having moved on from the division). Him beating Witter in England sealed it for me, after Tim had already impressed when appearing on Showtime - and his regal grace in every performance since has only reinforced that loyalty. All recently sworn subjects are welcome to now revel in the knowledge that he will wear the crown indefinitely. LONG LIVE THE KING!
