    By trying to prove a point to the fans that he is an exciting fighter by going for the KO against a fighter who is not even on the top 10 of the WW division. He should stick to what he does best by boxing his opponent

    He really can't get over the "feather fisted" label he has. He is so desperate to show the fans that he can punch yet the results always remain the same. He will get in serious trouble if he carries on doing this.

    Agree on this one. There is probably a reason why Bradley's team ducked Khan in 2011

    He has been "ruined" by Provodnikov. First thing he needs to do is fire Joel Diaz as trainer, enough is enough he needs a fresh start

    Then why did he give a career best performance against Marquez?

    He looked terrible other than he won the match 8-4 maybe even 9-3.

    I think terrible is going overboard by a lot. But yes he needs to stick to boxing.

    If anything Bradley ruined Provodnikov too then, as he looked like utter garbage in his last fight too.

    He looked like what he is supposed to look like, a crude not too skilled brawler.

    Yeah, there was a reason why Bradley declined the offer.

    It's called:

    -Bradley offered 1.4 M to face Khan

    -Bradley signs for 5.0 M to face Pacquiao

    Bradley was under contract with HBO to make 1.3 M base per fight regardless of opponent. Why would he take a 100 K raise to fight Khan when that fight warranted more than the approx 8% increase in salary he was offered? Why not take a 3.7 M raise to fight the far superior opponent to boost the legacy as well in Pacquiao?
