    You can rant and rave all day but the fact is that Bradley did duck Khan and the Pac fight wasn't on the horizon at that time. You got your opinion and I got mine. Mine is that Maidana will knock Bradley's ass out. As far as Pac being a better fighter, that again is your opinion. Pac may have fought bigger names but that's about it for my money. I think that at this stage in Maidana career, Pac would be in a world of trouble if the fight happened.

    I don't think you understood what I was saying. I'm saying Bradley has beaten everyone there is to beat so him resigning with TR has closed the doors for a Mayweather showdown... so what else is tehre for Timothy Bradley? :huh

    Good opponents always spring up. For instance, many thought the LHW division was dead just a year ago. Now it's alive. Guys always move up in weight.

    Maidana is good, but I have a hard time believing he would be able to KO Energizer Bunny Bradley. Bradley chin makes Broner look like Amir Khan, and he moves a helluva lot better and a lot more than Broner. I think Maidana would have a better shot against FMJ than Bradley, just because of the way the styles and attributes match up.

    He has a lot of big fights with TR and TR has given him every opportunity. He has a Pac rematch, potential Provodnikov, JMM rematch. Then there is Rios, Alvarado, Gamboa.

    Bradly's a Momma's boy. No wonder he re-signed with Top plantation. He's a chump, plain and simple.
    I predict that Bradley will end up like Holyfield after his career is over.

    Tim made the right move.

    Fans assume it's easier to change promoters than it actually is, and in a sport where your ability to earn great money diminishes by the day, it makes more sense (and cents) for him to stick around and still rack up 7 figure pay days than to be inactive or tied up in court.

    Arum's a piece of crap in many ways, but one thing you cannot convince me of is that he's done wrong by Tim Bradley. Tim's paid well, has fought a very high level of opposition, the refs and judges look out for him, and he's gotten plenty of exposure. There's a lot of fighters who'd kill to have that setup.

    Floyd isn't going to stay around forever...he may retired this year. Pac won't stay around forever...he could retire this year too. JMM too.

    When both guys are gone, it'll leave Tim Bradley near the top, if not the top of the division. The only guys who can challenge Bradley are Provo, Brook, Porter and Thurman. Some of those fights will be made.

    Guys like Broner, Maidana, Alexander are not good enough to beat Bradley. When Bradley is at the top, there will be no shortage of challengers, regardless of promoter.

    Bradley made the right move, he knows that if he signs across to GBP that he will have to fight Mayweather - Bradley doesn't want that fight, he only calls for it when pushed.
    Bradley doesn't have many challenges at top rank, but still gets a high pay day, so why not sign there.

    He made the right move for sure because he would lose the Mayweather fight and severely hurt his career.

    either move is the right move. hes a good fighter and there will be always game competition. i really dont like rematches but thats wut its shaping up to be.

    pac/bradley rematch is not needed to me but whatever it was settle everything once n for all. lets hope.

    bradley/jmm rematch no point of that fight bradley schooled. but if jmm wants the rematch bradley will proly give him the opportunity to revenge his loss.

    n the only rematch i wanna see if provo/bradley cuz it was super close fight n a good fight.

    timmy can stil fight guys like vargas,khabib,alvarado,rios down the road as well.

    I think he made the best move for him. The rematch with Pacquiao, and possibly Marquez later, will definitely net him some big money. Golden Boy might have a larger stable of top fighters, but Top Rank has two of the biggest PPV draws.

    Not that your entire post wasn't comical and clearly coming from a fruitcake but that part right there had me stopping and laughing out loud. :lol: Thanks for the fun.

    There are Marquez II, Pacquiao II(incoming), Provodnikov II and possible fights against the likes of Rios, Alvarado and others. Even if he moved out for a Mayweather fight, he won't get that fight. Bradley's recent PPV sales and fighting style won't encourage Mayweather to take this fight because it simply won't sell. Let's say Mayweather took the fight and Bradley got his one major payday, what comes after that for him?
