Tim Bradley sucked as a fighter and is a worse commentator

    I enjoyed Teddy Atlas even when he was over the top but he would call Bull Sheet when as a viewer we knew it was BS. His analogies would get old quickly—Body shots water in the basement—Jab/Bugs on the windshield—Still not as bad as most we have these days.

    Roy always had good insight and was funny as FK even when he was not attempting to be funny. You just have to love RJJ!!!

    Timmy was a hell of a fighter but as a play by play guy he gets a C minus from me.

    He’s an alright colour guy I guess but for a former boxer his perspective and knowledge seems very surface level.

    Both men know that they're carrying around a piece of counterfeit in their respective resumes.

    He like most in Boxing today make it too obviously personal & people notice that along with Bradley's constant hyperbole & disrespect, that's an issue i'm seeing more often even with some like Mauro who in the past was respectably pleasant has been going off at boxers lately especially when they get knocked out/down, not cool.

    I like Bradley. I don’t know how much education he had, but he is more articulate than most fighters despite lapsing into double negatives at times.

    I rather like Bradley. As a fighter he was a good champion and his resume is decent enough. While I understand people aren't happy about the first Pacquiao fight, we shouldn't taint his entire career for something outside of his control. Instead I give Bradley my full respect for that Provodnikov FOTY display, that was true heart and will.

    As a commentator, I agree he's not the most exciting. But not many are, so I can't diss him too far for it.

    I like Sheridan when he gets excited. He sounds like a fat mob boss shouting in between bites of a hero sandwich.

    If you think Bradders is bad then I suggest you listen to the absolute dross we have

    Whether it's lead commentators, colour commentators or even unoffficial scorers, they are horrendous. Never mind bias, these clowns are deep into DKSAB territory

    He was in lots of exciting fights imo. Don't care for his commentary (though I've heard worse) but as a fighter I liked him.

    All that other stuff you're saying sounds like what psychologists would call "projection."

    More like a never been athletic overweight biased lame who wasn't able to comprehend general scoring of fights while behaving like an expert.

    You're obsessed with this Fouts guy and have claimed all sorts of wild **** before with him so don't get too offended if I don't believe this.
