Bradley fights for Arum, there will NEVER be a fight with Floyd and top rank, NEVER! I hope JMM wins he is a great fighter, but it will be a tough fight I can't wait to see it.
Wrong!! it is everything like that. Who are you, or indeed any of us to decide what constitutes all out robbery, or mere robbery? Marquez was robbed, just the same as Pac was robbed, both men lost fights that the scorecards should have recorded as wins. As for the press, I couldn't give a fck what they think, they are no more knowledgeable than anyone else.
Seriously, who really ****ing thinks bradley beat pac? The fight was much closer than HBO, I watched the fight on youtube in spanish and pac still won.
The fight against Provodnikov was exciting. And he does have skill, and as you pointed out, a lot of heart. But to say "nothing more," well...is baffling. I'd rather see Bradley fight than, say, Broner. Anyhow, I hope Bradley does win and maybe set up a fight with Mayweather. I don't think he'd win, but it'd be nice for him to get that big of a pay-day, 'cause he's truly a good guy.
Styles make fights and to me this is a 50-50 fight. Well maybe 60-40 for Marquez because of the war Bradley went through in his last fight.
I think it is the best fight either fighter could have taken, so hats off to them both for giving the fans something worth watching.
marquez is 40 for **** sake.. if he looses to bradley id see him retiring which is a good thing.. id hate for him to stay around and face some monster puncher and get really hurt before he retires.. he seems like the punishment he has taken overt he years has not effected him he seems very calm and collected he is able to speak very well
I hope it does'nt come to Arum greasing palms again. Getting robbed again is a true possibility as Marquez has stated he's through fighting Pacquiao, he's proven his point. Hopefully the true winner's hand is raised and if thats Bradley, the sun will come up the next morning, the world would not have ended. Btw, to the thread starter, beating Marquez or anyone for that matter does'nt make Bradley a Superstar. Bradley is a busy stay tough fighter with skill, but nothing he does is out of the ordinary. Since he does'nt have any real punching power to speak of, he'll never become a Superstar or anything close to it. I mean for God's sake, Bernard Hopkins has way better skill and way better power than Bradley, yet he was never close to reaching superstar status. Some fighters just dont have it to achieve that type of appeal no matter who they beat.
Like I said Mayweather has enough money to get Bradley to leave. a rematch with Pac is not gonna intrest nobody but Pac fans really. Mayweather-Bradley for unfied champ, both undefeated, sounds good to me! Remeber Cotto left Top Rank to just fight Mayweather
Wins don't mean as much as performances and it depends how Bradley looks in that fight. He's not as powerful or precise counterpuncher as Jmm, but he's more versatile and more active. Bradley is smart and can win outboxing from a distance, but he has too much heart too and if at times he went toe to toe with Pacman he might feel confident enough to go toe to toe with Dinamita. THAT would be a mistake and his downfall. Should Bradley win, he climbs up the p4p list, possibly gets another TR fighter, or be a free agent to work with whichever company he chooses once his contract is over. He could put his belt on thr line vs Broner, Khan, Berto, Guerrero, or even Floyd. Timmeh would deserve a megafight with Floyd. Stylistically the fight might turnout better than Pacquiao-Bradley.
I don't know about you guys, but I can't take seriously a boxer that looks like the Hulk but punches like Cinderella. I hope JMM wins, and that he won't get robbed like he did in the past, against Pac and against Chris John.
Yeah bradley will have alot of options. but it looks as if he would need to leave Top Rank to get the best fights out there. signed with top rank just to get the Pac fights but now he needs to sign with golden boy to make the best money over his career
Exactly, he is stuck until he can get out of Top rank. Maybe a rematch with Provodnikov or Pac but other than that Golden Boy has evryone else at 147 or close.
If he wins, then he should look to fight the winner of Pacquiao/Rios and/or the winner of Maidana/Broner (Assuming that fight happens).
