    Even after Floyd goes, Golden Boy has all the relevant names around welter and Bradley will never be a big enough star on his own to compel them to work with Top Rank.

    Agreed, he will simply have to take the hard route to get there, he doesnt need Pacquiao, he can make a name for himself it will just require getting the right fights, of which Guerrero and Peterson are not the right fights.

    He already beat the **** out of peterson why move down to fight him move up and on to bigger and better things let them hate all they want just keep winning and the bigger money will be there

    How is he going to get those right fights when his promoter doesn't play nice with others unless they hold all of the cards and they have no one of note at welter who's actually interested in fighting him?

    He should have taken the Khan fight all that time ago. That way he would have trounced Khan and became the most popular fighter around. He might have gotten a Floyd fight off that.

    Marquez has made it clear he's not interested in Bradley, and since Rios has more draw potential than Tim and would also lose to him, I see little reason to expect that fight to be made in the near future.

    He should give his belt to Marquez then.

    Not fighting Khan was the best damn move Tim could have made, why the hell would he jeopardize a huge payday against Pacquiao with a risky fight that pays relative peanuts? You think Bradley gives a **** he aint getting any high profile fights, course he doesnt, he's sitting back chilling with the $5 mill he scooped off fighting Manny. And you fools feel sorry for him? Most fighters aren't in this for the love, Bradleys just a kid from the hood trying make a living.

    Some of you really got no idea about business. Props to Tim

    None of us know what really happened behind the scenes. When you consider who is running Bradley's career, it's safe to assume that some sort of incredibly offensive commitments were attached to that deal. To think that Bradley would have purposely ducked Peterson is absurd. On the other hand, Arum not wanting that fight makes a ton of sense.

    Bradley sold his soul to the devil (Ol' Bezelbob) and now he's paying the price.
