    He's been one of the P4P best fighters of the past decade, and people go on about Floyd and Pac and Marquez and Hopkins and Wlad and Calzaghe and Ward, and so little is mentioned about Bradley when he slides right in the middle somewehre among all those names, and very rare for a modern fighter takes on all comers no BS ducking, or BS about catchweights or gloves or A side B side, he just gets in the ring and usually wins. He's probably the fighter I most respect out of his whole generation and a certified HOFer.

    No shame in losing to Pac... who is the other featherweight?

    It was a split decision and the judges didn't even had a lopsided decision either.

    If he could knockout a 40 year old featherweight then he would get more respect.

    I mean Floyd shut him out. As he should have being that he was a featherweight.

    Tim Bradley is no Floyd Mayweather, but still deserves credit for beating a future HOF.

    Strangely he was hurt more by being gifted the Pacquiao decision. I think he would have been better off if he would have been off he had been robbed. Haters came out of the trees. Also, he has a low knockout percentage.

    I worry that he may be too tough for his own good.

    Bradley has gotten too many gift decisions in his biggest fights. He probably shouldn't have won any of them. Pac put a beat down on him twice. The Marquez fight should have been a draw but Marquez got no credit for all the sophisticated boxing he was doing, while the commentator took turns sucking Bradley off. He probably should have lost to Provodnikov by a point and clearly inflicted far less damage. Rios was out of shape and quit because his heart wasn't in the game anymore. Bradley's work at light welterweight was good though. Oh, and he did get robbed in the Chaves fight, but Chaves is pretty limited like Rios so that's not such a great win anyway.

    Bradley is actually overrated by many. His best win was a SD over a 40 yr old Marquez. Good boxer but not PFP IMO.

    I thought he won them all with the exception of Pacquiao and he is nails every time out. I don't think he should be shorted because broke Rios.
