    Simple, you're getting on Bradley for possibly taking on Berto. Your reasoning is that Bradley has unfinished business at 140. You also claim a fight between Bradley and Alexanader is bigger because it would be for the 3 JWW belts, while Berto vs. Bradley would be for a paper belt between a WW and a JWW. Well, a similar situation would occur if Alexander fought Mayweather instead of Bradley. No one in their right mind would criticise Alexander for fighting Mayweather instead of Bradley. I bring up Mayweather because I'm hoping this extreme example will illustrate the holes in your logic to you.

    Mayweather vs Alexander is not a bigger fight cause Mayweather at this moment is a huge draw in which the only huge fight out there for him is a Pacquiao showdown. It be a bigger fight for Alexander, Bradley or Berto but not the other way around. You don't get it do you? Berto vs Bradley is not the bigger fight cause even though it might be a bigger fight for Bradley cause of moving up in weight but it would not be a big fight for Berto cause Berto is fighting yet another 140 pound fighter that isn't a legit welterweight. Bradley vs Alexander is a bigger fight for both of them cause whoever wins that fight will be the undisputed champion in which it be more exposure FOR BOTH OF THEM. You get it now?

    I don't know if you're purposely trying to twist words here or what. Mayweather vs. Alexander is a bigger fight than Bradley vs. Alexander. That's clearly the point I was making.

    Your point here doesn't make sense. Who cares if it's not a bigger fight for Berto? Bradley is the one being criticised here, not Berto. How are you going to criticise Bradley(not Berto, but Bradley), when Bradley is taking on a bigger and tougher fight than the Bradley vs. Alexander fight?

    Again, by that logic, Bradley vs. Alexander is a bigger fight than Alexander vs. Mayweather. Bradley vs. Alexander would be for an undisputed title, Alexander vs. Mayweather would not be. Titles alone do not dictate how big a fight is. Furthermore, the term "bigger fight" is too subjective. It's because of this that I asked you which fight is more lucritive. Simply put, Bradley would get paid more money to fight Berto than he would to fight Alexander. So given that Bradley would get more money to fight Berto and given that Berto is arguably a tougher fight for Bradley, do you really think it's logical to get on Bradley for fighting Berto instead of Alexander at this time?

    How would you even know that Bradley would get more money fighting Berto? Berto is not even a draw for goodness sake lol. Do you know how much Berto gets in between fights???

    Look if Bradley or Alexander lets say fight either Mayweather or Pacquiao next then neither Bradley or Alexander should get bashed on cause for both of their careers, it be a huge fight for both but facing Berto for a paper belt instead of the undisputed junior welterweight championship? Berto is not a big draw at all. Hell Berto last 2 fights have been boring mostly in the Urango fight.

    To be honest with you, you said that Bradley vs. Alexander is a bigger fight than Mayweather vs. Alexander. If you believe that, than there is no reason for us to even talk.

    Berto's fights command a much higher liscensing fee from HBO than an Alexander fight. The liscensing fee is where all the money is at. Bradley would definately get more money to fight Berto rather Alexander. Berto is also arguably a tougher fight,

    Why all this alexander hype hes still green

    A bradley vs berto is so much more interesting

    bradley khan is intersting too

    I pick berto to beat bradley

    and i give khan a great chance to do it though im not sure

    i think bradley should see how the abregu fight goes before looking too far ahead he has a tough test on the horizon he should focus on whats in fornt of him

    What if his abregu fight iis like hatton collazzo we will wall have second thoiughts on bradley at 147

    I dont know man Bradley looks to engage too much and Berto will catch him.
    We all know Bradleys chin is not the greatest. However he has heart so i see him making it the full 12 losing a UD after a few KD.

    Hbo is interested in Bradley vs Alexander. Berto doesn't bring dollar signs at all. If Berto brings more money by hbo then why hbo wouldn't put up the money for Berto vs Collazo in the rematch in which everybody wanted to see? Wasn't the first fight the canidate for fight of the year?????

    By that same logic, why wouldn't HBO put up money for the rematch if everyone actually wanted to see the rematch? Clearly, everyone didn't want to see that fight.

    It's simple and easy, Bradley don't belong at the welterweight division cause he's the smaller fighter at that weight class and he doesn't have the pop. Berto the legit welterweight will win easy on either a decision or by tko.

    So you're admitting that Berto is the tougher fight? So you're basically criticising Bradley for wanting to take on a tougher challenge than Alexander for probably more money.
