    Yeah, it wouldn't be too smart for Bradley.. the reach would be tough.. he'd have a better chance against Javeck, Brooks, or Berto.... all the more reason he should just face the Khan/ Judah winner.... or the Maidana/ Guerrero winner... if he wins he can still get a shot at Pacman.. since we know Arum likes to keep it inhouse... going agaisnt Mike Jones is a greater risk low reward factor.

    Also Mike has good footwork and doubles and tripples that jab well. It'd be hard for Timbo to cross no man's land w/o getting tattooed

    Mike Jones is a FUNDAMENTALY FLAWED fighter.

    And while Bradley could improve on his right hand, he has excellent balance.

    Bradley beats him.

    Bradley probably wins this via skull crushing headbutt too.

    I think Jones beats him fairly one-sidedly. I like Bradley, but Jones is bigger, stronger and skilled to boot. And it's not like Bradley has the big KO punch.

    Tim's size alone suggests he should stay south of 147.

    That it does.

    But when you're allowed to carry an extra weapon (the anvil where his head should be) into the ring it gives you certain advantages :good

    Bradley's skull has it's own KO power.

    Bradley gets his ass kicked if he gets in the ring with Jones. Bad style matchup for him.:deal

    You're crazy. Bradley would slip Jones' jab easy.

    Jones has bad balance. His base is all wrong. He is not a very good fighter and leaves himself open when he punches.

    The guy is way overrated.

    No he wouldn't. Jones has a good jab quick feet throws combos goes to the body fast hands is bigger, stronger and hits harder than Tim does. He would beat Tim anyway he wanted to he's a terrible style match up for Tim. Jones by UD or late round stoppage. :deal

    I totally disagree. Jones has barely done squat as a pro. Certainly not enough to suggest he'd kick Bradlety's ass. In fact, Jones COULD win, but not by kicking his ass, as bradley's heart and aggression will keep the fight close. Let Jones show he can fight through adversity on the highest level before yuou suggests he beats the crap outta much more proven fighters.

    I'm telling you, Jones's doesn't have very good defense, especially not against a guy who can throw with great volume and speed like Bradley, his power is overrated, his experience level is low, and his base is all wrong.

    He's no better than Holt, and definitely doesn't hit any harder.

    I don't think his fundamentals are as good as Peterson's either even if he does have harder punch.

    Even Abegu looks better than Jones in my opinion.

    I'm not sure what all the hype is about Jones to be honest. Soto Karass is a face first brawler and Jones hasn't looked impressive against him in my opinion.

    Tim is too small for 147 and would get exposed taking on a big and strong WW like Jones. If they were both the same size I'd give Tim a better chance but Jones would dwarf him in the ring if they do indeed fight.
