    Only skimming your quote, but I would say that Zavek is a world champ, so im sure a former LWW, beating a WW champ would be of big significance to Bradley. Get it? BUSINESS

    Just saw this guy on a showtime replay a week ago.

    The guy looks to have some pretty nice short hooks. Limited specially with his short stature but looks to have a solid chin and decent power with speed.

    Why has he not been on any HBO shows yet. Looks like someone they should be throwing in an undercard.

    No it would not be of big significance. It's not about belts, people are seeing through that now. The fight would not do serious business because Zaveck is not internationally established as a significant world-class player and is not established in the American market were Bradley does bigger business than Zaveck does in Europe.

    And by the way, if you're gonna respond to my posts, respond to my whole posts please or don't respond at all. I didn't go through the trouble of writing it all so that you could pick and choose what you wanna talk about.

    147 is packed with tough, European talent. Bradley will fight Abregu and quickly leave the division, but he will still have to face these tough Euro-level opponents in the 140 division:

    Volodymyr Kravets 22-0
    Denis Shafikov 23-0
    Zapir Rasulov 22-0
    Ruslan Provodnikov 16-0
    Krzysztof Szot 11-0
    Viktor Postol 10-0
    Khabib Allakhverdiev 12-0

    While the last three fighters have only a few professional fights, they have extensive amateur backgrounds and, if they are not ready now, will be ready to fight Bradley after a few fights.

    Bradley cannot avoid these challenges.

    course he can avoid them. it makes no business sense to fight these guys because as good or **** as they are, they are not household names, they do not posess world titles and they have not fought any decent american fighters. theres a pecking order to boxing, what gives these guys you mentioned the right to fight Bradley for a world title.

    Bradley is gonna fight the likes of Alexander/Khan/Maidana/Berto/Mosley/Pac/Mayweather

    do you know why Herbz. cos he is a world champion after big paydays and to maximise his legacy.

    Now do us all a favour you and Bailey log the **** off, meet up over wine and cheese and watch Victor Potsol's greatest hits together

    Fair enough, dont get your knickers in a twist. If I was being childish id say then I just wont respond, but that would just be silly and your obviously quite sensitive, so for you I will read through and reply. Hopefully this will help to pacify you.

    He's going back down to 140, so he can fight this better crop of European fighters at that weight:

    Amir Khan
    Paul McCloskey
    Andriy Kotelnik
    Ruslan Provodnikov
    Ali Chebah
    Ajose Olusegun

    bradley is just 5'6" he should stay at 140... he'll have a hard time against bigger guys with longer reach.. you'll see it against abregu
