Pacq nor Ruslan could destroy him. Broner font have that 1 punch knock out power.

What you dont understand is, you dont have to have 1 punch power. Ruslan was a heavy handed guy, but he didnt have the sharpest punches (turning his punches over). he is a strong puncher for sure, but a more accurate and crisp puncher couldve KOed Bradley. Bradley didnt really stay in range for Pac. If he had fought like that for a 1/2 round he'd gotten KTFO. He respected Pac's power, he didnt show much respect to Ruslan...even after he was hurt.

You don't understand our logic because you can't read...

Once again Timmy did win ugly like he ALWAYS does...This was never going to be an easy opponent for Timmy...If you honestly thought Tim Bradley was going to use distance, dance and jab around this dude for 12 rounds like Ali you obviously never seen a Tim Bradley fight...

Could Timmy have fought anybody more challenging from a skills standpoint? Yea but that doesn't negate the fact the dude he chose was a tough son of a bytch...You seem to think only A class fighters can be called tough which is a dumbass frame of mind b...Just because a dude ain't well known and flashy doesn't make him trash...There's a lot of B and C-level fighters who are all heart and tough as nails...Provo is one of them...

Stop hating...

aint nobody hating but you are talking about a fukkin club fighter realistically so I aint tryin to hear what you are saying. Bradley couldve made that an easier fight. Ruslan is already being overrated because of this fight. nobody said he wasnt tough...that bytch aint tougher than Mickey Ward! I am not saying only A class fighters can be tough... I am calling a B-class fighter just what he is....B-class...and thats what Bradley struggled with, like it or not.

that was a great fight last night
idk why Bradley was trading with Ruslan when he was outboxing the shyt out of him
it was like Bradley forgot all of his defense and tactical skills atleast 5-6 times in that fight
he destroyed ruslans body though, I wouldn't want to be either one of those dudes today

he got caught in the 1st and lost his concentration etc. when he recovered he was keeping ruslan at bay with the snappy jabs, ruslan kinda blew his load in those early rounds..
lol..Roach thought he had an early night..wrong!!

I wish you could get some of these guys in here to realize that. I watched the Pac fight live, but thats the only time I watched it...maybe I need to watch it again, but I dont remember Bradley standing toe-to-toe like he did with Prov.

timmy marked ruslan up bad every time he started boxing, he threw a few 5-7 punch combinations that were beautiful, he should have done that all night
I personally enjoy watching bradley fight, it makes you wonder what he could do if he was able to turn his hands over faster

Stop hating...

so using your own words...this is essentially what you are saying. IF he had picked anyone tougher than Ruslan he wouldve lost. Remember, had there been another 10 sec, Bradley wouldve been KTFO.

If thats your reasoning....then in your opinion is Ruslan the toughest welterweight out there? So he takes 10 months off and the 1st tough sumbytch he fights beats his ass all around the ring? I mean it has to be one or the other. Is Ruslan better than what we think or is Bradley worse?

nah bradley, bad wheels and all, stuck to a game plan against pac and tried to box him (even though i thought pac clearly beat him)....him going toe to toe with ruslan i think was more of a pride thing due to the pac fight fallout and thinking if he could get rid of a lesser fighter spectacularly he'd get his props..and it nearly turned into a major disaster for him

He got hurt in the manny fight and he still threw punches. My point is dude making Broner out to be some type of beast when we don't know ow what he looks like 140 and above. Your punches don't have the same effect moving up. He wasn't 1 punching dudes out was my point. When he moves up he either going to go the full 12 or stop somebody late on a accumulation of punches. Any world class like fighter hw will go 12 Rounds. Bradley is world class.

Exactly! Bradley was busting dude up when he boxed! Why the fukk do you think Joel Diaz said he was gonna stop the fight???? He said he was gonna stop it because Tim was fighting a stupid ass fight and not following instructions. But these jokers trying to tell me Bradley always fights like that. :stopitslime:
if thats the case then yall wouldnt be complaining about how boring his fights are.

Its case by case. Power is relative to who is throwing the punches. Tell Pac who won a title at Flyweight that punches dont have the same effect moving up. It depends on HOW ACCURATE a puncher you are. Floyd has never been a big puncher, but its his accuracy. Broner is an accurate puncher....I could care less about his power. Thats what I am saying. Broner is world class too breh, and he is more than power. Accuracy means a lot more than power. Bradley dont have much power because he dont turn his punches over, him, Alexander, Pascal, etc...they all still fight amateur style. I will say this though, Bradley was landing some hellacious body shots and thats really why he won the fight...that and his jab.
