    I'd prefer he rematch Salido or dominate 126-135, but he wants the big money at 140-147. He's that confident. Maybe doesn't want to fight on that long and seeking out the bigger challenges. He might feel if Marquez and Manny were successful so can he division hopping. Maybe 50 does want to setup a Broner-Gamboa fight, maybe not, but either one vs.,Bradley, tho featherfisted is very tough, would be very interesting. They know if they lose they won't take too much damage and won't hurt their careers, but if they win, they setting up and getting closer to a superfight with Floyd or Pacquiao or even Marquez.

    Yeah, it makes no sense. It's just too much too early. At least have a fight or two at 135 before calling out 140 and even thinking about 147. I think he can climb the weights successfully, but he can't leapfrog up 3 weight classes.

    But hey, if he somehow pulls it off, he's immediately in the running for being top 10 P4P again.

    Gamboa was afraid to fight Rios but would be willing to face Bradley?

    50 would have to be foolish to allow this to happen.

    Although, I suspect that he may have future intentions of signing Bradley when his contract is up with TR.

    He's no longer undefeated. He already got exposed. Gamboa can take him. Bradley's not much that bigger than him

    You know Vitali is already absurd and it's just an exaggeration to put it up, right? ;)

    Bradley would put a demolition job on Gamboa. I really think Bradley would stop him in the second half of the fight, or at least put him down to the canvas en route to a decisive victory. I don't see Gamboa beating many elite guys at 130-135, with his chin being his biggest weakness. Let alone Timothy ****ing Bradley at 140, as 147 seems just not even a possibility.

    If they're discussing this fight for mid-March, it isn't happening. Two months is simply not sufficient time to put that kind of weight on properly.

    50 seems lost without Mayweather...
