    I think right now Bradley is the 3rd best weltwerweight.

    but he could still lose to other top guys

    well Bradley beat JMM easy. So this proves to me how much more versatile Pacman is than JMM. Jmm was always a little overrated. But he fights Pacman well. The only good fighter JMM wants to fight is Manny.

    Prov rematch is the only thing that could possibly be able to sell some real tickets and cover his minimums.

    Top Rank honestly is the titanic going to down really slowly, sure they have tons of prospects but they have nothing outside of Pac and Chavez. Cotto is a free agent working with them and can skip town his next fight, if Golden Boy holds off for another 2-3 years Top Rank will become another second rate boxing promotion like Dibella and Main events.

    both TR and GB are hurting themselves, if the the biggest promotional companies with all the best fighters continue to avoid working with each other, fan-friendly fights will continue not to be made, and will slowly drive away a lot of fans from the sport seriously, nobody is going to pay for Floyd-Cotto II or Manny-Timmy III

    Tim is a dumb fighter, always has been. The only great thing he has is toughness, that's not going to get you wins against the best. JMM was never a great welterweight, he just has a great style against Pacquiao, Bradley is probably the most overrated fighter in boxing history but now will most likely fade into bolivian.

    TR needs GB a lot more then GB needs TR.

    Top Rank is hanging by a thread right now, Chavez jr might not sign to fight GGG because he doesn't want to extend with TR. Pacquiao is a free agent after this year, Cotto is working on his own only signing on a 1 fight basis. The only fight that TR can offer GB that would be huge is Pacquiao vs. Mayweather but they can do it after this year without TR.

    If Pacquiao is smart and becomes a free agent TR will lose all the leverage with HBO and you can expect a lot more Latin Fury PPV's and Pinoy Power garbage in the next year. TR hasn't adjusted to the new way to promote and the new way to stack under cards like GB has. They are stuck with a dinosaur running things into the ground.

    Just think about it, TR was selling 200k PPV buys with Pacquiao before Manny fought Oscar and Hatton. They are great at protecting fighters for years before giving them big fights but are horrible at taking them to the next level. Mikey Garcia will never become a big star with Top Rank because they are crap at promoting. They put the guy in NY where nobody gives a **** about a Mexican fighter who stinks out the jont, why not do his fights in So Cal where they can actually build up a fanbase.

    Simple. He already paved his way to big money fights and doesnt need to climb the ladder again. When you have established yourself, you win some you lose some and you are still in the mix.

    He could fight the winner of Marquez/Alvarado as JMM was crying about the rematch.

    He could give Provodnikov the rematch.

    or he could fight any other top welterweight Khan, Porter, Maidana, Malinagi, Thurman, Alexander, Collazo, Broner, Rios.

    or maybe even Floyd will pick him as his next opponent to prove that he can do better than Pacquaio.
