    According to Ring, i'm kinda bummed out unlike the threads that i have made about Guerrero and Uchiyama, i'm not a fan of those guys ,but with Bradley i was.
    So happy retirement to my man Timothy ''Desert Storm'' Bradley :boxing1:2guns::ggg :chuck:

    He's made enough money, and taken enough punishment, good call, it could only go down hill from here, his great punch resistance has been slipping and he's probably avoided an eventual Guerrero-Figueroa like massacre with this decision.

    The Desert Storm always gave it his all in the ring and was always superbly conditioned. He was involved in some real wars even though he wasn't the most heavy handed guy. His toughness and consistency made him a throwback fighter who was a real asset to boxing. He is a humble gentleman as well. For these reasons, he will be missed.

    P.S. We're firemen! We live in the heat!

    Good call on TB. I would have loved to see him with Spence, Thurman and Garcia but it's better he retired as someone above already mentioned. He will be missed!

    Pacquaio's fans almost drove the man to suicide yet he weathered the storm, And they are doing exactly the same thing to Horn by making death threats to him and his pregnant wife.

    Even if you feel that way, what a war it was! Bradley fought Provo's fight and it made for some really entertaining stuff. I knew Prov was being underestimated in the lead up to the fight and he proved it in the ring. Timmy deserved the decision, as close as that fight was, but he was slurring his speech for months after. Can't blame him for wanting to box more after that.

    Most of his fights were good, quality scraps other than the Alexander fight. His 3rd fight with Pac was one of the better fights of 2016, which was overlooked because It was a completely unnecessary rematch.

    He had a really good run at 140.

    Shame to see him go but its better to get out too early then too late.

    Sad but it was the right time for him to retire. He's been in a lot of wars, he was only going to go downhill by this stage.
    I see him as a borderline HOF level fighter.
