Why Hasn't Timothy Bradley's Star Taken Off?

It's been said already...

Jack of all trades. Master of none.

Resume wise he might be the 3rd best, but I'll put Porter over him and come to think about it I'll put JMM over him too.

In five years, the only name JMM had beaten that's worth a damn is Manny. He has a history of coming up short when it matters most. I'm not putting him passed Bradley.

Resume wise think JMM is better. He resume stretches beyond 5 years, at least he did beat Manny, can we say the same for Tim?

Bradley beat JMM AND Manny though


And Shawn Porter only beat Devon Alexander and Paulie Malignaggi.....Bradley beat Alexander, Manny, JMM, Ruslan Provodnikov, Junior Witter, Kendall ****, Nate Campbell, and Lamont Peterson

Resume' wise, yes you can

Bradley clearly didn't beat Manny lets be real. I'm not comparing Tim's career to Porter's at all, I feel Porter is better than Tim right now, I just don't think he's a clear cut #3 WW.

Resume' wise, yes you can

I was referring to JMM actually beating Manny, not the resume. Tim was gifted a win, I mean seriously, do you feel Tim beat Manny? We know JMM did.

Lmao at his Mexican wife being a factor

 

[WhodatWhoadi]

because if your a black fighter you need to either be a over the top, almost bombastic personality or have a gimmick that will make you hated in order to truly crossover with the casual boxing "fan"

dawg thas fukking ANYBODY in the sport..

 

[WhodatWhoadi]

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. .

I agree with this

 

[WhodatWhoadi]

I consider him to be somewhat mainstream, but i think if his wife and him released a sex tape he'd be a mega star

Aint nobody want to see Tims sloppy ass wife..naked!

 

[NormanConnors]

I respect his willingness to be the best, but he's just a boring fighter breh and just doesn't have "it".

If you're gonna not be a trash talker, at least have amazing boxing skills or KO power....and he doesn't. Hes still on the same level as Peter Quillin.....and he's had the opportunity to build a much bigger by having his last 4 fights be against Manny 2x, JMM, and Prov. It still didn't happen.


Something about him is just not engaging where the hardcore fan & casual fan agree on him being just boring


There's nothing he does great. He doesn't KO people. He doesn't give boxing clinics. He doesn't talk trash. He's not on Twitter or in the media face in between fights. He's just "blah" for a lack of better words. Hes not loved or hated by fans. Hes just here.

Timothy Del Rio

do you think Broner could beat Bradley? He did just recently outbox Marquez though, that was basically a clinic.

Yep.

Bradley has no power to hurt Adrien Broner with. I don't believe a fighter without power can beat Broner

 

[RedBull]

Broner beating Tim at 147? Nah, Broner is overrated at any weight. He's boring and robotic. I like his AB persona though, he's funny.

 

[Roid Jones]

Tim is a good boxer but he has a bland personality and has no marketable qualities. Not everyone has the mythical 'it' factor.
