[yt]H3uRHBn2mYA[/yt] Ripped Freddie Roach, pointing out all his fighters got knocked off in 2012, didn't win any medals with the U.S. team at the Olympics. On Oscar: [yt]JmzpucwTwtM[/yt] On Pacquiao being KO'd: [yt]6iOnhkr4ka0[/yt] "How would you fight Marquez?" "Uh, Marquez is a tough guy.." :yep Does go on to say a good jab is essential to frustrate JMM. On Fighting Mayweather: [yt]JKWSsZiXuXg[/yt] Thinks Guerrero has a shot. Find it hard not to like Timmy, and the dude is criminally underrated as a fighter. We all know what happened in the Pacquiao fight, but if you think this guy isn't one of the best around right now, you're crazy.
I don't think Pacquiao could beat this Bradley in a rematch. Bradley is looking better than ever and seems to have improved upon his already solid technique. Most of his improvements look to be in defense, but he also has more punching power and punches from different angles.
I have really came to like Bradley, I used to think he ducked Khan but clearly he just took the better more significant fight after 24-7, which was great to see a new face, i came to really respect Bradley, just an honest hard worker who was determined to win and motivated I dont see how you could not like the guy, I mean unless your a bitter Pacquiao fan. Though he does remind me of Pacquiao just a classy and hardworking fighter, very intense and aggressive I dont think the Pacquiao vs Bradley fight was this once in a generational robbery HBO is trying to manufacture it to be. Bradley controlled the action in most rounds and made Manny miss with lots of punches. Bradley snapped Manny's head back with the jab and wore him down with body punching Bradley has a loaded resume of good solid opponents and its a shame nobody at 147 really seems interested in fighting the guy, he has to settle on a true 140 lber like Provodnikov should be a good fight
Why should there be any love? He has a boring, eyesore style. Just got a train robbery decision over a faded legend. Then proceeded to troll the public and make an ass out of himself by claiming he won the fight in a clinic. Really showed no class whatsoever. This latest round of comments is nothing more than a desperate attempt to remain relevant by pissing people off. People hate him because other greats, fighters the public actually liked and respected, 1) actually had pleasing styles in one way or another and tried to win their fights legitimately, not maul, spoil, and throw slapping hooks and flicker jabs with no steam on them for 12 rounds straight and hope the judges recently had head injuries; and 2) if past fighters actually did lose a fight only to get a questionable verdict or an outright robbery, they didn't act like a total ***** like Bradley has. Past greats tend to go one of two ways after a controversial fight; 1) admit it was a close fight, say they felt they did enough, but nevertheless immediately try and secure a rematch to win it in their own eyes and in the eyes of the public, or 2) say nothing, keep their head down, be very reserved after the fight, and then years later admit they lost (see DLH after Sturm, Leonard after the Hearns rematch, or even Manny after the third Marquez fight to some degree; he didn't have to take a third or even fourth fight with Marquez, but wanted to only because he'd never beaten him decisively enough for his tastes.) If DLH had said something like "yeah, I ****ing tooled that crude German Muslim mother****er, he just got KTFO by a dude I owned in Castillejo!" at some point after the Sturm fight, we'd view him as a classless hypocritical douchebag, kind of like how the boxing world views Bradley right now. Or say if Pacquiao had said after the third Marquez fight "I bashed up that puneta about as hard as I poleaxed Morales and as thoroughly as I embarrassed Barrera," we'd be hating on Manny for that kind of behavior. You must be a big Bradley fan if you're legitimately confused why people don't like him. It's really pretty obvious. Basically, if Bradley had acted with a modicum of class after the Pacquiao fight, pushed hard for a rematch, admitted that he thought he could've done better/didn't actually win and wanted a return match to try and notch a legitimate win, people would still have some respect for the man. Instead, his "I want another payday, I'll beat Manny again!" line of reasoning in public was disrespectful and blatantly wrong. He deserves all the hate he gets. Hopefully a real champion like Marquez or Manny gets him in the ring and sends him back to obscurity where he belongs. Face facts, Arum tried to make a new star at the expense of a faded legend, only that legend was still too good for a prime version of Bradley to beat, even when that faded legend took chunks of the fight off and counterpunched and boxed...and STILL clearly beat out Bradley. Arum's move failed because Bradley's style sucks, and he has no personal charisma to make people love or hate him. The public saw right through the corrupt attempt to make a new star and reacted accordingly. In case you're wondering why Floyd doesn't want to fight Alvarez, my guess is 1) he thinks he might lose legitimately, and 2) even if he does beat Alvarez, the judges could well Bradley him, with DLH being Arum and Canelo being Bradley of course. Create a new star at the expense of the old, fabricate a passing of the torch, keep making money, life goes on. The irony of all this though is that Bradley was reasonably likable before the Pacquiao fight, at least until he shamelessly ducked Khan.
Definitely the most accomplished 140lber to move up to 147. But I see these cheap shots flying everywhere as disingenuous attempts at marketing himself in the wake of his infamous gift. I really look forward to seeing him fight again, but I'm good in terms of hearing him trash-talk people more accomplished than him.
Didn't Trinidad flaunt his victory over Oscar as if it was legit? Anyway, I mean, he's just speaking his opinion confidently... Of course the butt-hurt Pacquiao fans, and the generally NAIVE "non-bias" fans expect him to say that he lost the fight 11-1 and should from now on hold his head low like a defeated fighter that has given up hope
I like Provo but Bradley would've been ready for him before most of us ever heard of Bradley, I think.
how is bradley the most accomplished 140-147? He had one ****ing fight at 147 and it was a robbery even though it was close. I love how his dad said Pac was on the defensive the whole fight. His dad musta thought pac was his song and bradley was pac.
