    This comes as no surprise. What does Arum care if Bradley takes a terrible beating and has to be carried out of the arena on a stretcher? What has Arum ever done to make anybody think he cares about anyone other than himself and his own bottom line? Fortunately, I don't think the fight will come to fruition because Bradley or somebody on his team will think better of it. Speaking as a fan of both Bradley and GGG, there are better fights out there for both of them.

    Just watched this interview with Bradley. The dude has so much courage and heart. He made a good point too on the type of mentality fighters have today.

    He said, "All these fighters talk a good game, but when it comes down to it, they don't really want to fight anybody. They're scared to lose...I ain't afraid to lose. Because if you're not fighting the best, you're losing anyway."

    I'm not going to claim Bradley will win but you are a stupid mofo if you think he will die in the ring against ggg.

    He's a talent that does have good boxing skills and he can fight his own battles. I wouldn't be surprised if he went the distance.

    I'd prefer this fight 100x over a ggg facing willie Monroe or taureano Johnson. It would actually be a big drama show. Desert storm isn't even that small he said himself he walks around at 170. Andre Ward has also said he gave him his toughest fight ever and we know he's beaten legit big guys.

    This is some kind of a cliché statement thrown every time by someone when a new opponent faces GGG. J

    Won't happen. Wouldn't be surprised, gtfo lol

    I don't know what you are high on but Bradley would legitimately be Ggg most durable opponent to date, that's a fact. He also has the best resume.

    So stfu

    Why would he be considered more durable at 160 than, say,Martin Murray? A man who should by all rights have been undefeated at 160 when he stepped in the ring with GGG?

    What big punchers has he fought? A one legged maravilla who got ktfo by Cotto.

    Bradley went 24 rounds with Pacman and had a damn war with Provo.

    Let's go with an easy example to test your understanding of boxing and weight classes. Do you think that Pacquiao or Ruslan hit harder than Felix Sturm? We have seen Tim out on his feet against Ruslan in Ruslan's first ever fight at 147.

    We had never seen Murray in a similar state before fighting GGG. Am I to believe that Ruslan (a 140 lber) hits harder than all 31 MWs and SMWs Murray had faced before taking on GGG? :think

    Matthysse didn't love provos power either. No one has he has hurt many world class fihhters. Who has sturm hurt? Pacman beat Cotto to a bloody mess

    You have a less than baseline understanding of how boxing and weight classes work. We are not discussing P4P punching power.

    Pacquiao has an 18% KO ratio at WW. Sturm (while by no means a massive puncher for his weight class) has a 30% KO ratio at MW and SMW since winning his first world title at MW.

    Every fighter Pacman has fought at ww is world class. Sturm has fought a whole bunch of bums basically. Pacman would beat Sturm regardless of weight and by ko
