    Bradley would school Maidana and only a straight up stinky ******* would say Bradley "ducked" Khan when he picked Pacquiao, a far and beyond better fighter in every way, instead.

    Because rematches with Marquez, Pacquiao(especially) and Provodnikov would still be worth watching.

    Pacquaio already happening, i would take that fight and leave

    bradley would beat ruslan easy without trying to go to war to prove he can brawl

    And marquez fight is pointless

    Whether he would beat Ruslan by brawling or not would still be fun to watch since the first fight was action packed. Marquez is definitely pointless but would still be fun depending on Bradley-Pacquiao II's result.

    I wouldn't only pick those three as his options, Arum will most definitely find others for him to fight along the way.

    He's going to make millions upon millions of dollars either way.

    All that can be really said is, hold on to your money Tim, you're a brave soul in the ring, but the boxing world is a cold hard place, and when you've retired, Bob Arum wouldn't **** on you to turn out the fire.

    To his credit, he beat Marquez convincingly, something Pacquiao has yet to do in 4! fights.

    You're being overly criticizing to a rather durable ring warrior, who are you if I may ask?

    You should just lighten up mate, Bradley is a top tier fighter, regardless of what Manny Pacquiao potentially will do to him.

    Well, Golden Boy has THE fight at WW for anyone there.

    And Golden Boy has probably 10 of the "top 15 ranked WW's" under contract as well as the best JWW's.

    So, for the sake of legacy, I'd say yes, he should get his ass over to Golden Boy. But too late now, I suppose.

    Initially, my reaction was no due to him not being able to fight Floyd but if you sit back and look at the situation, he made the right decision without a doubt.

    Hell no, get ready for bradley vs pac II & III, Bradley vs Ruslan II, Bradley vs Marquez II & Bradley vs Rios (will be same type of fight, rios walking in straight lines only to get tagged).

    Article says he allowed his wife to be his manager, could explain why this poor choice was made. Bradley was forced to sign a extension if he fought pac, there was no negotiating the extension which is a poor chase to agree to. He could of signed for maybe a 2 fight deal & then moved on to Golden boy.

    He probably would of earned a little less at first but Bradley has talant to clear out the division @ 147 & with Floyd about to retire he could of became the cash cow. I see he says "there is no gaurntee floyd will fight me" his career should not be based around Pac or Floyd, he should want to become the cash cow, he has talents to do it but instead signed a deal with the devil. Basiclly Arum convinced him he has no talent or star power to become a cash cow. His choice was based on getting a fight with pac which is a poor choice.

    im sure it's not as easy as saying "Arum I'll fight Pac and leave" to fight Pac he probably had to resign. Also if he went to GBP there aren't many better fights. If he fought someone like Maidana, Thurman or Broner he'd be the big favorite going in. At Top Rank there's Provo, Marquez (pointless rematch), Alvarado and Rios, also im not sure but is Jesse Vargas with TR if he is that could be a possibility down the line

    GBP has too many fighters, not enough dates and would not have paid him close to as much as TR.
