I'm curious about Tim Bradleys situation. I kind of feel bad but I'm not sure if I should at the same time. 2 of tim bradleys last 4 fights were life and death affairs that he didn't get much props for overall in the sport of boxing, hopefully he got paid because he's spilling his blood for what doesn't seem to be much. he had 1 ok fight vs JMM that people don't even seem to acknowledge at this point and a fight against pacman that was corrected from their original match up. Unless Timmy B is being paid handsomley for what he's going through I feel bad. He doesn't seem to be getting fights that can raise his profile in the sport of boxing.
well as we have seen 1 or 2 TR/GBP cards that thankfully opens up alot of doors for him? i know amir is calling him out so maybe if khan does not get pac, may or refuses to fight kell brook bradley can fight khan ?
I saw some noticeable slippage in his last fight. Even though he won, he looked slow and lethargic. His reflexes and movement seemed sluggish. I think it's the after effects from the Prov fight or just the accumulation of all the tough fights he's been in. But I think we saw the best of Tim already. His signature win being against JMM. I hope I'm wrong though because I love the guy. He has too much of the dog in him and got dragged into too many wars over his career.
He is being paid very well. Makes mid 7 figures each fight. He wanted a Cotto fight, might still get one. Fans dont particularly like that fight though... not that I blame Bradley. Arum probably told Bradley that Cotto was a possibility, I think Arum and Cotto's advisers really underestimated fan disgust with the matchup though so now Bradley needs to wait on Uncle Bob for a plan B or C.
Hopefully he gets the Cotto fight. If that happens I would say he's made the most of his career. If he fights brandon rios or some other random fighter who wants to kill him, I'll think the whole top rank experience was a fail.
That should be like the last guy Tim fights. He needs to fight someone he can just box. Although I think Tim beats Rios, he will incur a lot of damage in return.
Really, a fight with Rios is beneath Bradley.... him fighting Diego and Rios is embarrassing to his skills and talent, imo. Cant say Top Rank has let him down because hes been able to fight JMM and Pac, but what now? A bunch of reruns and waste of time fights with the likes of Diego, Rios, Algieri? Those fights should be insulting to Bradley.
I would really like to see Tim against Khan or Algieri. I really like Bradley and I agree with the people that say he should cool it for a bit with the super brawlers. Fighting Khan or Algieri would make for a cool, technically pleasing, chess matchup.
