I am interested in you guys' take.

Is it the Mexican wife and stepson? The huge head?

He has the endorsement of Nike, right?

I'd assume because he hasn't really beaten anyone. Lost to Pac twice if we wanna be real here and is just a boring dude tbh. :manny:

There is not one aspect of Timothy Q. Bradley that is worth giving a damn about. He has zero personality, no punching power, and he fights in a style that does not entertain.
There is not one thing you can point to that he does particularly well and as a result the public doesn't give two shyts about him.

Hard to say HBO didn'tmarket him right, he's not a power puncher or dazzling technician. But dude only wants to fight the best and has only lost twice :yeshrug:

the only thing about tim bradley that has always impressed me is his conditioning...dude used to be coming in ridiculously ripped..as a gym rat i can appreciate that..his conditioning, athleticism, and his workrate esp how he went to the body is how he basically won fights..but his poor punching techniques, headbutting, and lack of jab...drove me fukking crazy watching him fight..they were struggles

Bradley has good athleticism, terrific conditioning, a hell of a chin, and a ton of heart. And he's even confident to a point where it doesn't come off as douchy arrogance (like, for example, Broner) I think the combination of him not having that knockout power & the stigma of the first fight with Pacquiao will always seem to haunt Bradley. It seems the only way to erase that would be to have more fights like he did with Provodnikov. but even that wouldn't be smart. Tim Bradley is a talented fighter, and a man who loves and cares for his family. It would be extremely dangerous for him to keep putting his brain and health on the line in unnecessary wars from here on out just to create more excitement.

Because he does nothing great, doesn't knock people out, doesn't talk trash, and goes missing in between fights from the media.

It's like a wrestler getting pushed to the moon without the fans giving 2 shyts. His fights are boring he as dull as dishwater he just has nothing going for him that will make him a crossover or even big boxing star. Some guys have it some don't it's always been that way. I have never had anyone come to me and say " Hey man can't wait to see that Bradley fight this weekend" he's just

I was like wtf!?
I'm far and away Bradley's biggest fan on here and what I don't understand is how my other boxing head homies don't respect Bradleys desire to always want to fight the best fighters available. With the exception of Ruslan he has continually had step ups in competition or to a new weight class.
