    I thought it was a good fight and Bradley deserved his win

    One thing I Will say though is .........without come forward fighters / action fighters / aggressive fighters

    You have no sport.....someone needs to come forward so there are engagements....no engagements....no fight...no fight..no boxing

    It's called match making have 2 styles that complement each other like Money vs Cotto or Broner vs Maidana.

    He was not boring. He fought a smart fight and outboxed an A+ fighter. Bradley did not run, he controlled the pace, and kept Marquez off balance, while landing some good punches, and almost put Marquez on his ass in the 12th. He surprised a lot of people, considering how much of an underdog he was. I thought he did better than a SD. This is not getting FOTY honors, but, it might be the upset of the year.

    Hagler Hearns is the most obvious example. Leaving it all out there doesn't mean just throwing with no skill.

    I would actually, yes. I'd be more thrilled if he threw something other than a jab, though.

    I wouldn't say he's boring but he has no knockout power whatsoever so you always have a good idea on how his fights are going to end up.

    I remember watching him at 140 and being surprised at his lack of power given how muscular he looks. But muscles don't equate to power and Timmy is devoid of any true power punching ability.

    That's why I like watching him fight in the pocket and go life and death as he did against Ruslan. That was probably his most exciting performance since turning pro.

    That's one and Hagler had to go to war because of that nasty cut and that's my point you only go to that when you have to.

    There's loads of examples of boxers past who could brawl and box. Don't tell me you don't know any more? And it's not even a case of brawling - he just could have done a bit more. He was talking before the fight about putting on a show - he didn't do that and he had every reason to given how sh*t Marquez was.

    I know what your saying but brawling is your last resort this is the sweet science not a tough man contest.
