    I don't want to see TB at 147. I want to see him at 140.
    What the hell is going on ?

    Why not Brandon Rios vs Tim Bradley at 140 ?

    Big ****in mistake for him to go to 147. Career suicide ? or is there no other way ? I do not see Bradley's game translating as a WW like it does at 140.

    Agree or disagree ?

    Who wants to bet that when he gets KO'd at 147 (if he ever steps up), green, acidic blood spills out of that alien cranium and eats through the canvas?

    Hes at 147 to fight Manny Pacquiao yet he has an absolutely horrific style to fight Manny. Another come forward type who is going to get countered to hell in that mid-range whirlwind. I've always been a big fan of Tim Bradley but he has massively pissed me off with his decision to by-pass Khan and move out of a division that is soon to be occupied by the likes of Guerrero and Rios.

    so is Bradley going to Welter full time?

    and when is his next fight? or is he just sitting out waiting for Pacquiao?

    Best fights at 140 -

    Khan - WBA champ that would beat bradley
    Maidana - High risk low reward
    Erik Morales - High risk low reward
    Zab Judah - fighting Khan now

    Best fights at 147 -

    Manny Pacquiao - Millions $$$
    Floyd Mayweather - Millions $$$
    WBA champ - Easy Belt
    IBF champ - Easy Belt

    Its all about the money, he loses at 140 and he has no chance at getting the big fights

    Bradley is your typical American hype-job.

    All hype, no stones. He disgracefully ducked Glass Jaw Khan.

    Can't really blame Bradley for looking for the big money, a boxers career is finite, better he make as much money as he can.

    Of course I am disappointed he will not fight Khan as in this era of multiple champions it's a rare thing to have clarity as to who is superior in a certain division. It leaves unanswered questions that we want answered and after he fights Pac (If he does at all) he may very well be damaged goods so any subsequent fight between Bradley and Khan less significant.

    WE know Bradley is good because he has beat the best comp avaiable in his division.

    Tim can adapt and fight multiple styles as well, he can fight off the back foot as well as come forward.

    Actually he hasn't beat the best competition available, because Khan was available. Bradley's good, but a win against Khan would have had him unquestionably in the top half dozen P4P.

    @ the scene

    Bradley says Top Rank rumor isnt true. And his next fight will most likely be at 140.
