So.. if Bradley moves up to WW to face Mike Jones.. does he stand a chance??

I don't see it. Jones' only advantage is size and he's not a very good boxer. Bradley could potentially even outbox his ass by counterpunching.

Bradley is being severly underrated. Not to mention, if Bradley gets Jones against the ropes or in a corner, Jones will have no answers.

The best and really only asset of his defense are his legs. And while his legs are good, if you can touch him, you can hit him.

 

Im telling you that a guy like Jones is all wrong for little Tim. Tim's aggression will mount next nothing when he goes up against a bigger and stronger guy it would only serve to getting him beat up more. Tim can't outbox Jones his only chance is to outwork him and he couldn't do it without paying a heavy price. Tim gets beat up and possibly stopped in this fight. Jones is much better than you give him credit for not only that he holds the stylistic advantage in this fight.

 

I see this as more 50-50 because of Jones' size. But I agree to an extent, TB is too small for 147. I do like Jones though. I hope he starts getting some better fights on some undercards. Good kid!

 

Of course Bradley has a shot. Mike Jones has very little in the way of an inside game and Bradley is an excellent inside fighter. Against Jones, Bradley would have to press the attack. Jones will get on his bike and will have even less power. If he can keep Jones moving and trap him against the ropes, he can out work him. If Jones is backing up and getting outworked, he'll probably lose a decision.

 

Bradley would school that hype job!

 

Didn't Jones struggle against a B class opponent fairly recently? I think Tim takes this. Jones doesn't have top level experience and I see Tim using footwork and inside fighting to win a clear decision.

 

There is nothing special about Bradley. He will get demolished at WW.

 

Bradley also slaps and gets wild when he attempt to flurry. Those saying Bradley is 5'6 might be a half inch generous.

 

Jones is ****ing 6'0. And he hits mad hard. Bradley could make it an interesting fight and it'd be cool way to find a challenger for Msnny, but Jones is gonna win that one.

Stylistically is like a bigger Amir Khan with better defense and chin. Weird footwork, shoeshining, and topheavy body though.

 

Jones doesn't throw enough. He may have some good moments, but Bradley would probably out-land him on his way to a UD. I doubt either guy gets stopped.

 

You think Bradley is as good as Carmen Basilio?

 

We don't know how good Jones really is, so its to early to say he would kick Bradley's ass, another point, Floyd, Pac, and Berto are all short, so Tim's height won't be a factor considering that he has decent speed like the others. On the Flip side he reminds me of a young Shane Mosley only with out the power, ridiculous speed, and alot smaller.

 

147 has a nice future, Alexander, Kahn, Bradley & Peterson will join Ortiz, Berto & Jones, hopefully we can get some quality fights.

 

Would be a decent fight but not good enough.

Arum would NOT approve of this fight because quite frankly, it wouldn't sell.

I think Tim's best bet is to keep himself a free agent and wait for Pac or Mayweather Jr.

 

Bradley is a complete hype job.... and I can't see him ever being a great welterweight.
