Why nobody likes Tim Bradley

:nod

...and really, the judges who gave it to him, they did so barely, with the narrowest possible margins - a mere two-round shift from the appropriate score of 115-113 Pacquiao.

So for him to accept the result, it's hardly the same as say Brandon Rios nonchalantly walking away from Abril content to have been given eight rounds on Roth's card (when the 117-111 card of Byrd was more in line with reality...that's a damn five point swing, more than double the swing from 115-113 Pac to 115-113 Bradley...and honestly even Byrd may have been generous to Rios. You could make a strong case for him losing eight rounds...)

Yet people give him stick for it. :-(

Yes, he fought a dumb game plan, but THANK YOU FOR DOING SO, Tim. :good

 

Because his head looks eerily similar to that of E.T.'s...:verysad

 

People like Bradley but I suppose it has to do with the sentiment this forum has expressed for years that people don't like true boxers or good American fighters.

And X 2 to the opinion that it was impossible to duck Khan to fight Pacquiao. Fighting Khan and not fighting Pacquiao when that was an option would have been a major duck, I guess given some fans' standards, but not the other way around.

 

he's got a big azz head and he's a vegan.

 

Hes got a boring style i agree.... Id like to see him get ktfo .. Nothing personal

 

how is his style boring?

I don't get it.

they should bring back those toughman fights for "guys" like you.

 

:huh
You need to watch his last fight:smoke

 

They dont like him because he robbed Pacquiao and his style is boring, bar his last fight. He wont fight like he did last time though because he will get KTFO. If he won against Manny convincingly , he would of been loved.

 

He personally didn't rob anyone.

He was given the nod in what really was a close bout. (Close but clear for Pacquiao, it seemed - but still close except on pure fanboy cards...I don't care how much of a majority those fanboys comprise)

Nobody says he beat Pacquiao convincingly. He didn't really deserve the nod but he got it by razor-thin margins in what truly was a close bout. Everybody move the **** on. Boohoo, it happened to Pacman. Yeah, the universe kind of owed him one (or two, or three) from Marquez I-III. Let's not act like he is the most undeservedly wronged competitor of all time. The judges who scored it for Bradley had it as close as possible for him, it wasn't like one had a ridiculous wide card for him. (And really any wider than 115-113 would be ridiculous, even 116-112. As it is 115-113 is wrong IMO but not outlandish or indefensible. (Like Roth's 116-112 Rios over Abril)

 

I find it so funny that these people pop up with scorecards so late after fights they disagree with on our site.
:huh
We do host a RD B RD forum on this site during the fights so post your scores.

Also we have seen worst scorecards for other fights:smoke

 

I like him and Manny, though I do think Prov should have got the decision.

Also JMM might tko him if Timmy doesn't box and move well; no slugging.

 

We've seen cards a million times worse than what Ford & Ross put out for Bradley vs. Pacquiao - yet people act like that pair had it a shutout for Bradley.

 

People tend to have selective memories except when it applies to a fighter they like in the sport:roll:
:smoke

 

Exactly.

"It's the worst robbery because it happened to Pacquiao! (not because it's actually the worst robbery) :|"

Yet many of these same people hemmed and hawed about Marquez I, II, and III - saying "Well, it was close..." (and in the case of the draw in Marquez I even having the nerve to say PAC got robbed because of the stupid tabulation error! atsch)

The hypocrisy is ****ing staggering.

 

Pacquiao and Khan fanatics "hate" Bradley, that's IT.


(here the word "hate" stands in proxy for "feel petty, bitter,childish jealousy toward")
