Bradley says he’s the people’s champion
January 31st, 2011
By Chris Williams: WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) may have defeated Devon Alexander last Saturday night to capture Alexander’s WBC strap, but Bradley only proved that he’s better than the twenty-three year old Alexander and not better than WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan or the other top contenders in the light welterweight division.
I don’t know of many boxing fans that are seeing Bradley as the people’s champion. He looked weak against Alexander and his speed isn’t all that great either. Bradley would be lucky if he were to lose by a lopsided decision against Khan, because Bradley is just too small to compete against the better fighters from what I can see of him.
Bradley’s wins over Lamont Peterson, Alexander, Miguel Vazquez and Junior Witter were good wins, but none of those guys are particularly big and powerful fighters. Bradley really hasn’t picked up the kind of win that would suggest that he’s got the talent to be the best fighter in the division.
I know Bob Arum is high on Bradley, but I think he’s backing a losing horse if he thinks Bradley can beat Khan, Lucas Matthysse or Marcos Maidana. Those guys look a cut or two above Bradley right now, and I can see some people wondering what they ever saw in Bradley after Khan get through with him.

The peoples champian? Not on that awful showing against Alexander.
khans turning into david haye give all the talk saying hes the best 3 fighters bradley prescott maidana are calling him out to fight next now lets see who he picks ??? watch the frighter he gets bet it aint one of these three run khan run
Peoples champion this guy couldnt fill the local pub!!!
Timothy Bradley needs to step up if he is serious about fighting guys like Kahn,Maidana,both would stop him right now.
As for Devon Alexander he is another Victor Ortiz no heart!!!
4×2 Arms Bradley is trained by the Diaz brothers and those guys only know how to train fighters like Mexican bangers the problem is Bradley is not a banger. If he wants better footwork he needs to move to the East Coast where they teach the art of running.
“Peoples Champion”? WTF planet is this guy on? He only sold 6,247 between him and that quitter Alexander! What a joke!
Too much head butting from Bradley. I don’t like him anymore. And he has surprisingly poor footwork. I’d like to see Maidana fight him. Khan gets a pass for a bit before I expect another tough fight. Alexandrea a bum, always suspected it.
There is now a new List of H4H King (Head-4-Head King).
And Bradley is on top!
melon patch champ . . . he can use his head.
Marcos Maidanais the class of the 140s……..he is a great warrior……….Bradley could not even ride in the same eleavator with him………………….Khan is also a man who tries hard and brings it all on fight night ……as does Maidana
The headbutt issue cannot be ignored, it has happened on multiple occasions. Tim Bradley sure as hell is a better fighter than alexander but with his punches becoming wider and wider as a fight wears on i feel that calling for him to fight Manny is simply ridiculous. Maybe a fight against Khan could be interesting…
Khan is far worse than Bradley. Bradley would KO him with one headbutt, no punches needed.
To all those who critized Ricky Hatton 42w 2L. Now look what you have calling himself the peoples champ. Hatton would have ripped Bradley wide open. Hatton did not have to call himself the people champ, because hundreds of thousands of the fans did.
Muhamed Ali doesn’t just visit anyone, but the great Ali paid a personal visit to our champion Hatton. Hatton had something special about him. A lot of people liked to follow his career.
i am not sold on Bradley. He does uses his head as a weapon and his has no punch. I think the fight would have been closer if not for all the headbutts.
Lampey pointed out that there has been accidental headbutts in Bradley’s last five bouts. To me that’s more than enough proof that Bradley does this with intentions.
BRADLEY IS THE HEADBUTT CHAMP ALRIGHT!!!
What people! this guy couldnt even Draw in the “peoples city of Detroit
