Why did Tim Bradley retire?

One word: Health

Bradley went through so many wars with hard-hitting opponents and had memorable fights that if he would’ve continued, I don’t want to imagine how he would sound like. He’s a warrior and retired just at the right time.

I truly hope he stays retired for his health and his family!

 

Really good point sir. Ruslan came right after the 1st manny fight. Tim took such a verbal beating for that decision which as you correctly stated, wasnt his fault. So he takes the Ruslan fight and I kind of feel he fought the way he did to show fans he wasnt some boxer thankful to get a W over Manny. So he went out and fought on his shield vs Ruslan to show fans he isnt what they say he was. Tough, tough situation he had to have been in

 

I listened to him talk of how depressed he became, people telling him to his face, take those belts and give them back to Pac.
Provod had him pissing blood, yeah that was tough.
So bad that the good guys who don't insult, keep it clean take such a bad rap. Fighters biting ears off, popping dope tests, beating up women don't take the verbal abuse he took.

Great guy, great boxer, shame he had guns, but weren't loaded. Hope he lives long enough to hear the next generation give him credit. Some boxers have to retire to be appreciated.
