'''Timothy Ray Bradley Jr.''' (born August 29, 1983) is an American former [[professional boxer]] who competed from 2004 to 2016. He held multiple world championships in two [[weight class (boxing)|weight classes]], including the [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] [[light welterweight]] title twice between 2008 and 2011, the [[World Boxing Organization|WBO]] light welterweight title from 2009 to 2012, and the WBO [[welterweight]] title twice between 2012 and 2016.

In October 2013, Bradley was ranked as the world's third-best active boxer, [[boxing pound for pound rankings#The Ring|pound for pound]], by ''[[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'' magazine. He is particularly known for his trilogy of fights against [[Manny Pacquiao]], whom he fought in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley|2012]], [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II|2014]], and [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley III|2016]].<ref>[[Dan Rafael|Rafael, Dan]] (April 10, 2016).

==Professional career==

===Light welterweight===

==== Early career ====
Bradley had his first professional bout on August 20, 2004, knocking out Francisco Martinez in the second round. In his rise through the ranks, he won the [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] youth world welterweight and super lightweight crowns. He also beat future [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] lightweight champion [[Miguel Vazquez]] by a unanimous ten-round decision.

====Bradley vs. Witter, Holt====
Bradley finally got his chance for a full world title when [[José Luis Castillo]] failed to make weight in a title eliminator for the WBC super lightweight belt. He then won the [[List of WBC world champions#Super lightweight|WBC super lightweight]] title by defeating British fighter [[Junior Witter]] on May 10, 2008, in [[Nottingham|Nottingham, England]]. Bradley's bank account was down to $11 when he made the decision to go to England to fight Junior Witter. Bradley came into the fight a 6–1 underdog against Witter.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/3359459/witter-to-face-bradley|title=Witter to face Bradley|work=Sky Sports|access-date=April 11, 2018|language=en}}</ref> During the fight, Bradley controlled most of the action, and dropped Witter in his corner during the 6th round. Though the fight was scored a close split decision for Bradley, most observers and analysts thought Bradley should have comfortably been given a unanimous decision verdict. One judge scored the fight 115-112 for Witter and the remaining two judges scored the fight 115-113 and 114-113 respectively, for Bradley.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7389991.stm|title=Bradley takes Witter's WBC title|date=May 10, 2008|access-date=April 11, 2018|language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/boxing/2300142/Junior-Witters-Hatton-dream-collapses.html|title=Junior Witter's Hatton dream collapses|last=Davies|first=Gareth A.|date=May 11, 2008|access-date=April 11, 2018|language=en-GB|issn=0307-1235}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Christ|first=Scott|title=Bradley scores early Upset of the Year contender|date=May 11, 2008 |url=http://www.badlefthook.com/2008/5/11/507447/bradley-scores-early-upset|access-date=February 7, 2012}}</ref>

On April 4, 2009, Bradley fought [[Kendall Holt]] to unify his WBC and Holt's [[World Boxing Organization|WBO]] titles. Bradley was dropped in the first round by a huge left hook and was badly hurt but regrouped and outboxed Holt for most of the fight, before being sent to the canvas again in the 12th round. Nonetheless, Bradley got up and finished the fight. He won the fight by unanimous decision and became the new WBO champion.<ref>{{cite news

Several days after his unification bout with Holt, Bradley was stripped of his WBC junior welterweight title, because of failure to fight [[Devon Alexander]], his [[mandatory challenger]].<ref>[https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4108299 WBC strips Timothy Bradley Jr. of junior welterweight title – ESPN]. Sports.espn.go.com (April 28, 2009). Retrieved on January 15, 2012.</ref> As a result, the title became vacant and Alexander stopped Witter at the end of eight rounds to win the belt.

The Alexander-Witter fight was on the undercard of Bradley's August 1 fight with [[Nate Campbell]] in Bradley's hometown of Palm Springs. Campbell, a former lightweight champion, was coming up in weight after he failed to make the lightweight limit in his last fight. Bradley's fight with Campbell only lasted three rounds after Campbell chose not to continue when a cut formed over and behind his left eye. Bradley was awarded the TKO victory, but the verdict was later changed.<ref>[http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=20698&more=1 Bradley Defends WBO Strap With Controversial Victory Over Campbell On SHOWTIME]. Eastsideboxing.com (August 2, 2009). Retrieved on January 15, 2012.</ref> A replay showed that the cut was caused by an accidental clash of heads. The rules state that if a fight is stopped by a cut caused by an accidental headbutt before the end of round four, it should be called a no contest. The [[California State Athletic Commission]] therefore changed the result.

====Bradley vs. Peterson====
In April 2009, [[Lamont Peterson]] defeated French boxer [[Willy Blain]] for the vacant [[World Boxing Organization|WBO]] Interim title, making him mandatory to full titleholder Bradley. The fight took place at [[Agua Caliente Casino and Hotel|Agua Caliente Casino]] in [[Rancho Mirage, California]], on December 12, 2009. Bradley dropped Peterson with an overhand right in the third round. However, Peterson got up and landed hard left hooks to the body. Peterson cut under the left eye from an accidental headbutt in round 12. After 12 rounds, the judges scored the fight 120-107, 119-108 and 118-110 in favour of Bradley, retaining his title and handing Peterson his first professional loss. The bout was televised as a main event on [[Showtime Championship Boxing]]. After the bout, Peterson told Showtime, "My game plan was to win the first round, but in the middle of the first round, I got hit real hard by a couple of right hands. It really bothered me. I lost the round, I fell behind, I got reckless. I couldn't make it up. I gave it all I had. He's a great champion."<ref>{{Citation|last=Mangler411|title=Timothy Bradley vs Lamont Peterson|date=April 10, 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUouzfU-3e4|access-date=October 31, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4737968|title=Bradley defends title in clear win over Peterson|date=December 13, 2009|website=ESPN.com|access-date=October 31, 2017}}</ref>

==== Bradley vs. Abregu ====
In his [[HBO]] Debut, Bradley was scheduled to face [[Luis Abregu]] in a non-title bout at [[welterweight]]. However, Bradley's promoter told ESPN.com that he had made a deal with [[Golden Boy Promotions]] to fight [[Interim championship|Interim]] title holder and knockout artist: [[Marcos Maidana|Marcos "El Chino" Maidana]], at the [[Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa|Agua Caliente Casino]] in [[Rancho Mirage]], [[California]], only a few miles from Bradley's hometown of Palm Springs. The fight was scheduled to take place on June 19, 2010, but was postponed after Maidana had suffered a back injury during training for the fight. As a result, the initial plan to move up in weight was made and the fight with Abregu was back on, scheduled for the Agua Caliente Casino, along with a set fight date of July 17, 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5208294 |title=Fight set for Bradley, Abregu| publisher= ESPN|date=May 21, 2010|author= Rafael, Dan }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.boxingnews24.com/2010/06/bradley-wants-to-fight-all-the-big-names-in-boxing-after-he-fights-abregu/|title=Bradley wants to fight all the big names in boxing after Abregu bout » Boxing News|date=June 15, 2010|work=Boxing News 24|access-date=April 11, 2018|language=en-US}}</ref> Although clearly out-sized, Bradley proved too quick and too skilled for the hard-hitting Abregu winning by unanimous decision, with the judges' scorecards reading 119–111, 118–112 and 117–113.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.dailynews.com/2010/07/17/timothy-bradley-gets-past-luis-carlos-abregu-in-welterweight-fight-alfredo-angulo-delivers-first-round-tko/|title=Timothy Bradley gets past Luis Carlos Abregu in welterweight fight; Alfredo Angulo delivers first-round TKO|date=July 17, 2010|work=Daily News|access-date=April 11, 2018|language=en-US}}</ref>

{{Main article|Timothy Bradley vs. Devon Alexander}}
On January 29, 2011, Timothy Bradley defended his WBO junior welterweight title in a unification fight against fellow light welterweight title holder, WBC champion [[Devon Alexander]], at the [[Silverdome|Silverdome Arena]] in Pontiac, Michigan. Bradley won via 10th round technical decision.

As stipulated in the contract of the fight against Devon Alexander, Bradley would be given a $1.3 million payday regardless of whomever he selected as his opponent for his next fight. While the public wanted Bradley to fight the then [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] light welterweight champion Amir Khan and unify the division,{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} Bradley opted to not take the fight.

====Stripped of WBC Title====
Timothy Bradley was stripped of his title as he refused to fight then World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan. Many had speculated that Bradley was not satisfied with the $1.3 million to fight a boxer of Amir Khan's caliber, although this was Bradley highest pay day in his entire career so far. Also, he had admitted that it was too risky to fight Amir Khan, asking rhetorically on the American radio show ''Leave It In The Ring'', "What if I lose then I am out the sweepstake to fight pound-for-pound-king Manny Pacquiao for 7.5 million dollars?"<ref>[http://beatsboxingmayhem.com/2011/04/27/timothy-bradley-turns-down-over-1-3-million-for-amir-khan-fight/ Timothy Bradley Turns Down Over $1.3 Million for Amir Khan Fight « Beats, Boxing and Mayhem].

====Bradley vs. Pacquiao====
{{See also|Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley}}
Bradley fought [[Manny Pacquiao]] on June 9, 2012, for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title. Bradley won a controversial victory over Pacquiao by way of split decision, with two of the judges scoring it 115–113 to Bradley and the other 115–113 to Pacquiao. The decision ended Pacquiao's 7-year undefeated streak and gave Bradley the title. According to Compubox, Pacquiao was ahead in punches landed, power punches landed, percentage of punches landed, and percentage of power punches landed. As a result of the controversial scoring, a special five-judge panel was created by World Boxing WBO President Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel to review the fight. All five judges of the panel reviewed a video of the bout and all 5 judges scored it in favor of [[Manny Pacquiao]]. Despite the panel's findings, WBO rules do not allow the decision to be overturned. The most the boxing body can do, according to Valcarcel, is to order a rematch.<ref>[http://ph.sports.yahoo.com/news/wbo-says-pacquiao-beat-bradley.html WBO says Pacquiao won; Manny wants rematch – Yahoo!

====Bradley vs. Provodnikov, Marquez====
Bradley won a close unanimous decision against [[Ruslan Provodnikov]] on March 16, 2013, for the WBO welterweight championship. Provodnikov was given the fight to serve as an easy target for Bradley, who was looking for a confidence booster after a controversial fight with Manny Pacquiao. Bradley came out on the attack early, fighting in an uncharacteristically aggressive fashion. Provodnikov made him pay, tagging him with hard shots in the first round, and staggering him in the second. Bradley said post-fight that he was concussed by a shot Provodnikov hit him with in the first round.<ref name="autogenerated1">[https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/9061409/ Timothy Bradley overcomes Ruslan Provodnikov to keep belt – ESPN]. Espn.go.com (March 17, 2013). Retrieved on April 12, 2014.</ref> Bradley boxed more conservatively as the fight wore on, winning most of the middle rounds. In the last round, Provodnikov again hurt Bradley badly and appeared ready to deliver a KO, but with time running out Bradley deliberately took a knee to get called for a knockdown. He was easily able to beat the count (which finished only seconds before the final bell) as a result and hung on to win the fight on points. Bradley was impressed by Provodnikov's power and said that "he's going to be a world champion someday."<ref name="autogenerated1"/>{{main article|Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez}}

The official scorecards led to a controversial split-draw (Julie Lederman 112–116 for Chaves, Burt A. Clements 115–113 for Bradley, while Craig Metcalfe 114–114 for an even). Harold Lederman, HBO's unofficial judge, had it 116–112 for Bradley and the Compubox statistics heavily favored a Bradley win as they stated he had connected with 225 of 572 punches versus the 152 of 570 blows Chaves connected with.

Bradley also headlined the [[Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Márquez|last card to take place at the Thomas & Mack Center on October 12, 2013]]. Negotiations were on and off for the fight and nearly broke down completely in August. Due to [[Sadam Ali]] being Bradley's mandatory, the WBO stated they would not sanction the fight unless Top Rank made a deal with Ali's promoter [[Golden Boy Promotions|Golden Boy]], to negotiate a step-aside fee.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/story/_/id/13610541/timothy-bradley-jr-fight-brandon-rios-bout-not-welterweight-title|title=Bradley-Rios bout finalized, may not be title fight|work=ESPN.com|access-date=August 6, 2017}}</ref>

Bradley was on a [[vegan]] diet for his fights from 2008 onwards. He said that he first tried the vegan diet while preparing for his fight against Junior Witter. In this fight, which Bradley won by split decision, Witter was knocked down in 6th from overhand right. After the fight Bradley was proud of the results and maintained his diet. He added that when he was on the vegan diet, he felt superior over any athlete who gets in the ring because it gave him energy, helped with his reflexes and balance.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxingscene.com/timothy-bradley-explains-his-vegan-diet-benefits--70134|title=Timothy Bradley Explains His Vegan Diet, The Benefits|website=The Boxing Scene|date=September 30, 2013|access-date=June 16, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://pcrm.org/media/blog/june2012/vegan-boxer-tim-bradley-wins-welterweight-title |title= Vegan Boxer Wins Welterweight Title |first= Neal D. |last= Barnard |author-link= Neal D.
