    Who else should Bradley be fighting than someone with a perfect record and a prospect? There is no better fight for people like Bradley to be fighting at this stage.

    It's not a guarantee that Bradley will win this fight.

    Or they think he can beat Timmy. Just like Timmy thinks he can beat Pacquiao.

    Against who? Canelo? Bradley doesn't have any better option.

    First you say Bradley is ducking the tough fights and now he takes the toughest fight available to him and he's ducking big fights? What do you all want?

    There are other fights I'd rather see Bradley take but this isn't a bad fight and a reasonable opponent for Bradley's second 147 fight. Paris doesn't have any name value, but the fight itself is decent. I've seen Paris a couple times and he's not bad, probably not ready for Bradley but he'll make it a fight. I've read he struggled with Emmanuel Augustus earlier this year, which doesn't bode well, but he rebounded well against Coleman.

    It says the fight could go to HBO, if so then the opening bout should be Bailey-Jones if Jones beats Lujuan. I thought Bailey had to defend against the winner and by putting it on the undercard here it could be setting up a Jones-Bradley fight. The winner of Jones-Bradley would, at that point, be a very good option for Pac and with Arum having all of them it would be an easy fight to make.

    I much rather see Bradley take on Khan, but am i the only one who thinks this is actually a fairly dangerous fight?

    At this point I'd rather watch Tim fight a tough prospect than to pay PPV just to see him get embarrassed by Pac or Mayweather. I was a bigger fan of Bradley until he turned down the chance to fight Khan after he called the kingpin out . But I guess Gary Shaw only offered him 1.5 million, just to sit out another six months of his prime to fight a 40 yr old Casamayor. And he called he himself a throwback ?

    really, what's the source on this? JW as I'd have thought Paris would want to target Bradley's WBo belt.

    and if it's at Welterweight .. does that mean Bradley is leaving 140 for good?

    if i remember properly isnt paris a big welter and packs a punch

    kind of reminds me of the Holt fight all over again maybe a punchers chance or maybe he man handles Bradley
