    What do you think ESB?

    Is Timmy right?

    I personally think provided he could get Timmy to agree to a deal without too much hassle from Bob. Mayweather would love to fight and beat Timmy so he could say look I beat the guy that beat Pacquiao and end whats left of the debate.

    What you think ESB?

    Money would school Bradley. Horrible stylistic matchup for Timmy.

    This depends on how he beats Manny, it also will come down to testing, and Bob Arum...

    alot depends how he looks in this.

    We've never seen bradley struggle before. be interesting to see how he fairs on the elite level.

    If he beats manny, then i'd also say he had a slight chance against floyd too.

    But in reality i think bradley loses to both manny and floyd

    Timmeh is right. He'll be too busy with an emmanuel rematch to worry about Floyd.

    Bradley has a better chance at beating Mayweather than Cotto did. He has better aggressive defense, he's more active, doesn't stay in one place, and he won't fade.

    He doesn't punch as hard, but and his punches aren't as crisp for the most part, but he also hasn't absorbed two career ending beatings and he's young.

    It would be a good fight, but in the end Mayweather would win. If Bradley had more power though, he would have a great chance at upsetting Mayweather.

    Interesting thoughts so far....

    I don't think testing will be an issue unless Timmy does a 180. I think he will stand by his word and be tested.

    I do think Bob may not want to make the fight but surely he couldn't stand in the way AGAIN?

    Great answer but you missed the question completely though, will Mayweather fight him, if yes why if no why?

    what are you talking about? If bob and his fighter could ignore all the public demand and pressure to fight Mayweather, doing it for Timmeh would be easy.

    The world isn't trying to force a Mayweather-Timmeh bout. Timmeh has no fanbase

    Gayweather already did that. Marquez

    I think he'd face Bradley over Martinez or Manny.

    Mayweather is probably going to go for the money though.

    I see him picking a fight with Khan, whereby, he walks Khan down slowly, applying pressure from the center of the ring, and then stops him late or fighting Berto, who appears to be mentally weak, but is a viable opponent due to his athleticism, and "second chance" scenario that Mayweather can play up for the cameras.

    Berto without his steriods probably won't be the same fighter, so it would be a good come out of jail fight for Mayweather, and Mayweather will be able to market it with a combination of "second chance" and "he's my tune up."

    Pacquiao has a rematch clause. So Bradley would have to fight Manny again if he were to win, and Bradley knows it.
