for one he has to stop boring us to death,
If your addressing this to the Pactards(aka some Ignorant Filipino boxing fan) then it's totally pointless to ask them this question.
Ok back to your question Bradley needs to express more clearly his heart and desire to win inside the ring as he have shown on the Provodnikov fight. If he doesn't get any respect after that fight, it just proves that Pactards are the cancer to boxing and Marquez, Mayweather & Bradley are the cure i would love to see one of these three knock pacquiao again to eliminate these hypocritical fans from the face of the boxing community once and for all.
Knock somebody out. Preferably someone who actually has a chance to win. The Pacquiao decision stunk and that has a tendacy to turn fans off. It's not Tim's fault but try telling the fans that.
Tim did knock out Joel Casamayor but he's 147 years old. Tim's last knockout was in 2007. I doubt he will get a rematch with Pacquiao and I don't think Pacquiao is interested in fighting him. What's to prove? This is why Bradley needs to knock someone out.
Otherwise, no one wants to tune in.
Number 1. He needs to not get knocked out by Provodnikov
Number 2 A rematch with Pacquiao and a convincing win would earn back respect.
Tim Bradley didn't score his own fight - He is blameless for the Pacquaio controversy.
I think that the Pacquaio win was a doubled edged sword... It put him on the world stage, under intense media scrutiny, followed by vicious rumors that the judges were corrupt.
How does that play out in a fighters mind??
In his after fight presser, he claimed he had damaged his foot.... Then fell off the face of the planet as far as boxing was concerned...To repair the media damage done in his previous fight, Bradley needs to put on an impressive display.
All he needs to do is just fight the way he has been fighting and if he has lost any real fans they will be back. I just don't think Bradley will ever be the same because he knows he lost that fight and so does everyone else.He is going to have a tough time tonight in the other guys people have him ready.
Bradley is suffering from Media displaced aggression, the guy actually didn't do anything wrong, he lost a close fight to Manny, got the benefit of some corrupt judges and really didn't have anything to do with the Media blitz that followed. I really don't think there is anything he can do except to keep fighting and keep winning. In truth he is a victim of the Media.
He needs to stop acting like he easily beat Pacquiao and anyone who didn't see it that way was watching a different fight. Talking like that when you have been clearly beaten but given the decision will not get the fans on your side.
He will probably get the fans off his back when he has a rematch with Pacquiao.
He'll never win over Pactards who are still very bitter. He can win over boxing fans by having good fights.
Many fans lost respect for Bradley after the Pacquiao robbery (which wasnt his fault). He has not made fans by insisting he won it though. What can he do?
