Tim Bradley = The Future of Boxing?

thats a big call. having no fear isn't enough on it's own so lets see what happens before we get even close to HOF

 

The kid has held his ground since making the big jump in class starting with beating Witter, beating Holt into submission, and taking on Campbell and battering him.

The Lamont Peterson fight is going to be the test though, after that I want to see him fight Devon Alexander.

 

I think Bradley is a very good boxer, at least from what I've seen of him thus far. The Campbell fight showed me nothing further of his ability and should have been ruled a no contest. It seems as though everyone is on the Bradley wagon all of the sudden with his win over Campbell.

Bradley's appears as a nice guy, has a good attitude, and has some very sound boxing ability, not to mention speed. I think he could be the future of his division and maybe one weight class up if it weren't for his lack of power. Look at Paulie Malinaggi. No one can claim that the guy isn't a great boxer but it's his lack of power that keeps him from rising to the elite level. Eventually guys who lack punching power run into someone who possesses a similar or better skill set than they have as well as knockout power. Without power to keep an opponent honest this is where they generally meet defeat. I think Bradley is a fine boxing technician and will do well for as long as he stays away from guys who have a huge punch and are decent fighters.

 

Bald, African-American boxers.
Geez, you might be onto something here.
They're practically the same person!

 

'Holt has a huge punch and floored Tim twice, Nate also has a huge punch. Witter has power too.

Bradley has been in the mix with power punchers and boxing technicians. His next fight against a pressure fighter is going to let us know about him, how he deals with Lamont is going to let us know if he is the truth.

 

Well he has a cute little pin-round head and I have heard that he is gay boxingfans' favorit (like Lacy was).

Apart from that - no.

 

I remember way back when, I saw Bradley fight on ShoBox. I was so impressed that I came on this very site and said he was gonna be special. I was BLASTED for it, saying I was overhyping a limited fighter.

Glad to see the rest of the world is starting to catch on. But who can blame them, the movement and angles he showed against Campbell were...and dare I say it...Hopkinsesque. Ill say it again, he is going to be special. A top p4per for a long time.

 

That sure is something to admit to... I had assumed that gays like boxing, but didn't know they had their own websites for rating their man love. You visit those sites often??? :yep:yep

 

I figured he was speaking from experience.
