    I think if Bradley really wants a fight with Mayweather he should start by fighting with Mayweather-lite first. What better way to prepare for Mayweather than fighting the wannabe? It would be a great way to see how well he can handle the shoulder roll defense. Bradley has always been great at ad******g and switching up so it would be cool to see how he can handle Broner first before claiming a shot against Mayweather.

    Why would Bradley agree to something like that? This isn't Guerrero who was grateful to even be considered. This is Tim Bradley and he's gonna have a little more leverage than that.

    Also, Golden Boy has plans for Broner and I think Bradley would be too much too soon. Maidana is the perfect test to see if he's the goods or not.

    Son, don't kid yourself. Every fighter wants that Mayweather money. Bradley has zero leverage when it comes to a fight with floyd.

    Is there any money fighting Broner? Bradley would beat Broner and probably not make much money. It would be a payday for Broner.

    Also I don't think Broner would have the balls to take that fight. Broner would be safer fighting Pacquiao.

    Bradley has leverage. Not as much as Cotto but more than Mosley had and the Mosley fight did pretty good.

    I think It would be a dangerous fight for Broner who would probably lose a decision and look really bad too. I don't think Bradley is the style of fighter for Broner and has just the style to expose Broner. Broner should avoid Garcia as well.

    Bradley would be a legit choice for Mayweather

    Broner is very lucky that Valero has passed.

    Bradley has no leverage. He has no fanbase and Floyd wont fight him unless there is no one else to fight. It's about the money.

    You don't think Broner would have the balls to fight Bradley? :lol: Who is Broner fighting next? A nobody? Maidana has way more pops then Bradley does but yet Broner don't have the balls to fight Bradley? lol.

    Broner should try beating a Legit champ before they throw him in with Bradley both are skilled but Bradley's toughness wins this fight.



    As far as this people say Mayweather only fights for money but since Judah the only thing he has fought were #1&2 ranked Champs, HOFers, and a few ATG's that screams legacy all day the only guy he could have fought that is better than any of the guys he's fought since 07 is Pacquiao and well we know that story.

    Pac, Pwill, Margo, prime cotto, he could have done much much better, legacy wise, and that is eating at him this very moment.

    Pacquiao yes Cotto is a HOFer so maybe Williams and Margarito are on the same level as Ortiz they look like they should be good but didn't amount to anything honestly if Ortiz (who is the weakest champ Mayweather has fought since 06) manages to beat Molina for the IBF Belt he rates higher than Margo/P.Will all time. This is sports you don't get extra points for looking scary you have to actually accomplish something. If you can names something outside of one quality win over Cotto I'd be willing to agree but seeing as both there careers are over Baldomir has fought better comp then both Margo & P.Will

    As long as Arum is alive, we wont see golden boy fighters against top rank fighters.

    Arum is killing the sports of boxing.

    Floyd is running out of opponents, so Bradley finds himself in a unique position.
    Currently, there is only Bradley and Garcia that might create interest.

    Other than that, Martinez is out and will need a tune up anyway.
    That would be a good fight.
