Understood. I should be more clear. I am not saying Bradley is old but just saying that Maidana's punches are extremely strong and is being powered by a body that is willing and able to take hits in order to hit. Think of Chavez and Pea (at an obvious lower levels for both). I just think Maidana's strength is enough to beat Bradley. It will be a good match and looking forward.
I agree about Maidana, he has the strength to beat Bradley, but will Bradley let Maidana impose his strength, becuase we know Bradley is always in outstanding condition (not that Maidana doesnt have good conditioning). And when (not if I believe) Maidana gets through will Bradley be able to do what he did against Holt, and brush it off and get back to work? When It comes to the Pea comparison (obviously different styles) Bradley has potential to become that skilled, and because of that he is the favorite in this I feel.
I really hope Maidana has had enough time to recover come fight night, and they didnt push it so they didnt lose the fight with Bradley.
Maybe so but when this fight happens the outcome will show whether or not people can say that. Overrated or not, he's a good fighter.

Badley deserves this fight. He is undefeated w/ a few decent wins recently. Does this mean he pulled outta fight on june 26th to fight madinai in july?
As most of you know this fight is apparently off now. damnit I was looking forward to this. Hopefully it happens in the near future. http://balling.blogs.theledger.com/...ana-fight-cancelled-mayweather-mosley-replay/
A damn shame if it's true. Was looking forward to this. If so, the powers that be should push for Bradley-Alexander in its place.
I agree. I think TB-DA is the fight to make at LightWelter right now. Apparently Team Bradley are also looking at Judah, which almost is a pick em, but I know Judah no longer wins his big fights. But I think it will be fairly interesting none the less.
Bradley/Judah doesn't excite me in the least. He should just take Alexander's challenge. If he wins he would put himself in the reckoning for a shot against Pac next year.
Well if it meant Bradley vs Judah or being inactive due to the DA fight not working out, I'd take Bradley vs Judah over inactivity any day. Judah is barely a gatekeeper anymore nowadays I know, But I'm a firm believer in a crappy stay busy fight, is better than inactivity to stay some sort of sharp.
What do you mean by not working out? Alexander wants to fight him, Bradley doesn't. Obviously fighting somebody is better than fighting nobody but choosing Judah when there is a great fight to be made by someone willing to fight, it would be disappointing.
