    He hits like a girl
    He ducked Khan
    Wheelchair and false Pac win
    He's a headbutting midget

    and most recently: "If I beat Marquez then I think I definitely belong in the Hall of Fame and am one of the top fighters in the world."


    Hope Marquez wombo combo's him...

    He ducked Khan for a Pac fight is a misconception

    He failed to negotiate with Khan TWICE

    The first time being the major duck, the second bieng the move up to 147 to fight Manny instead of fighting Khan (which might be excusable) - the first time was not though...+ he lost to Pac which is blatently obvious, now this little bald mofo wants to claim he is HOF worthy if he beats soon to retire Marquez? lol..

    Calzhage hits like a girl and ya'll love that fa.g.

    I bet Joe's somewhere snorting a line of coke off some random guy's di.ck.

    Fu.ckin puff..

    Bradley is a fu.ckin' warrior...so what if he isn't a puncher...he does have LEGIT ko's.

    Tim flew to Britain to take a title while still in his 20's.....

    Joe didn't discover the miracle of flight (or the presence of other Champions)until he was damn near 40...:rofl

    I love the ducked Khan talks. He ducked Khan but doesn't mind fighting Pacquiao and Marquez. :lol: Seriously, who ducks Khan?

    Exactly, what fool would fight Khan over Pacquiao
    Then he fights Provodnikov now Marquez, the guy ducks no one

    Khantards are delusional

    You don't duck someone to move up a division and fight a far superior fighter for much more money. It is not possible, sorry. Bradley did not duck Khan.

    Bradley has an impressive resume and skillset. I've found him to be entertaining in the past although most feel the opposite, other than the Provodnikov war.

    Khan better be glad the Bradley fight didn't happen.

    That was another rude dismissal Khan's career didn't need.

    People forget that Tim couldn't sit down on his shots against Pac because of his ankle.

    Manny wanted no parts of a rematch...for a reason.

    Wrong. He doesn't sit on his punches or go KO fishing, but he doesn't have pillows as some claim.

    He buzzed Provodnikov (very good chin)

    He wobbled Abregu (solid chin, he and underrated former contender Richard Gutierrez swapped the only knockdowns of their respective careers in their war)

    He got the respect of Alexander (goddamn incredible chin...only ever decked by Matthysse and that a flash knockdown, going the full twelve...also took shots from Maidana, Bailey, Urango...Corley...say what you will about Devon; incredible chin...)

    He dropped Casamayor repeatedly like a basketball. (more times than Marquez, who is the only other boxer to drop the slick & tough Hairbrush multiple times. Freitas, Guerrero, Katsidis, Santa Cruz, and Corrales all dropped him just once each...)

    He dropped Cherry (very good chin; never stopped)

    He dropped Witter (solid chin and not even yet shot, only stopped once ever - by Alexander, on an injury)

    He dropped Peterson (very good chin)

    He mopped the floor with Garnica (tough journeyman, only four stoppages in eleven losses and two were to Maidana & Alvarado)

    So, um. You were saying?

    Wrong.

    He ducked Khan like Mayweather ducked Pacquiao. :nono (that is, he didn't)

    Shaw and GBP weren't able to come to any workable agreement before Shaw's contract with Bradley ran up - and the fault didn't all lay on the Shaw & Bradley side. Then it became yet another case of Top Rank & Golden Boy proving to be water and vinegar...

    Don't blame Tim. He certainly was never afraid of Khan. I hope you don't actually have yourself convinced of that, as it's quite silly. Bradley would have always handled Khan as easily as Mayweather would have Pacquiao. (that is, easy pees-y).

    What about the damn wheelchair? What does that have to do with anything? You don't score post-fight wheelchairs, mate. That's nothing to do with professional 10-point-must scoring. :lol:

    As for the "false win" - eh, whatever. I had it 115-113 Pacquiao and honestly can't see it a draw or for Bradley...but it was as tight as it possibly gets IMO. Razor thin for Pac. The wrong guy's hand was raised, but it didn't even rank as the worst robbery of the month, let alone of the year, let alone of all time like some knee-jerk fans have been treating it as since.

    Also, Bradley fought very well, as best he could adapting to Pacquiao's style - as Pacquiao did as best he could adapting to Bradley's. That seems to get lost in the mix when all everyone seems to want to get hung up on is "OMG WORST ROBBERY EVER!! :| HOW COULD THEY ROB POOR MANNY? HE IS THE MESSIAH OF BOXING!!"

    OK, so in a couple of bouts in a row there he did pick up a reputation (deservedly, I'll admit) for leading with that huge noggin. A couple were maybe intentional. It's hardly an every night thing, however - more an inevitable product of a come-forward style and being anatomically cursed/blessed with such a gargantuan dome.

    If anyone was ever going to be tailor-made for headbutts in a styles match-up with Bradley, it's Provodnikov. Two come-forward infighters. Guess what? They fought pretty cleanly and Bradley made no attempts to billy-goat that I recall when nobody was ever going to be more available for it than Provo.

    Midget? What does that make Pac? Canelo?

    Victories over:

    Manny Pacquiao (like it or not...bottom line is he frustrated & gave Pacquiao all he could handle regardless of the scoring)
    Kendall Holt (picking himself up and dusting himself off twice and courageously gutting it out to bring the fight to Holt)
    Miguel Vazquez (solid champion, the man at 135 and has been for years)
    Devon Alexander (leave off the dissatisfying ending - Bradley was giving him an ugly but effective boxing lesson...and that win just keeps looking better, like the Vazquez one)
    Lamont Peterson (went on to become champ again beating Cayo, Khan, and Holt)
    Luis Carlos Abregu (solid win that keeps looking better)
    Joel Casamayor (shot but he kicked his ass)
    Nate Campbell (shot but he kicked his ass)
    Junior Witter (past his prime but still not shot...reigning champ and coming directly off the Harris KO)
    Edner Cherry (tough exciting FNF level fighter)
    Ruslan Provodnikov (tough exciting FNF level fighter...against whom Bradley fought the dumbest possible game plan in a macho attempt to regain some respect because of the stupid fans blaming the Pacquiao decision on him, and still came through :respect)

    ...and still undefeated, and instead of seeking asylum to pad that zero up and hide from challenges is taking on Juan Manuel Marquez.

    Sorry, but you have to respect his outstanding resume and in this era if he can't get into Canastota no light welterweight in a decade save Ricky Hatton has a prayer.

    Regardless. If he ducked Khan like you say, then Pac was an easier fight? The *******ism is spreading across your brain.
