If Tim Bradley is such a warrior why doesn't he rematch Ruslan?

    Provodnokov is nothing but a contender, Bradley is at the champion level.

    Bradley beat Peterson, holt, abregu, undefeated Alexander, Provodnokov, Pacquiao, Marquez, now Vargas.

    Bradley has the best resume at 147, irrefutable.

    He should be fighting Mayweather next.
    Not Journey man Provodnokov who jus got outboxed by Matthysse.

    He called out GGG, and you're talking about him rematching an ESPN guy?

    He mentioned that he's ready to fight Provodnikov again, if the money were right. It was just after the fight.

    Then Provodnikov loses to Algieri and Matthysse . . . Bradley on his side outpoints Marquez, loses to Pacquiao, gets BS draw with Chaves and defeats Vargas. Why would he give Provodnikov rematch?

    High risk, little reward Mathysse just beat the Russian, no point going backwards. Bradley has bigger fish to fry.

    Indeed, a close fight which Provodnikov lost. I don't really see or hear Provodnikov demanding a rematch, do you?.

    Nope. But if I were timothy I'd give provodnikov a rematch over fighting golovkin.

    The op doesn't have a clue though. Ruslan is struggling to get a W

    You're making it sound like it was Provodnikov who gave Bradley the shot when it's the other way around in every aspect(name value and WBO title). Why would the winner call out the loser?, isn't it supposed to be the other way around?.

    He called out GGG the week of his fight , now what ? lets see him or Lara call out GGG when they are free to fight , not just name dropping for press when they want to hype their fight

    No actually I was disagreeing with the op man.
    Bradley doesn't need provodnikov who is struggling to get a W, a win.

    As much as I would enjoy a second fight, I think that bradley should fight better fighters now. He has proved to deserve better fights other than provodnikov's.

    Because it's pointless. Bradley should be in with Mayweather, Thurman, Khan, Brook, or Porter at this point. His promotional affiliation is gonna block all those fights though.
