Would Bradley be a cherry pick for Floyd?

    No, not at all. Bradly is good, a very skilled all-around fighter. p4p lister, even.

    He would be the optimal opponent. It's not a case than Floyd doesn't want no part of Bradley. Too good, too fast, too smart, too many headbutts.

    Floyd ducked Bradley. Instead he's facing an unskilled useless bum like Slowdana for the second time. And Slowdana won more rounds against Floyd than he did against Alexander or Khan. That tells you what would Bradley do to the cherrypicker.

    Of course not .

    Bradley when he fights smart can bring hell to any opponent including this 37 year old version of Floyd .

    The same way Floyd makes his opponents miss , I can see Bradley doing the exact same thing to him .

    Bradley has the movement , speed , workrate to get the job done .

    TB no doubt would be one of the most difficult opponents of Mayweathers career .

    Styles makes fights

    I like the fight on paper but it could be a snoozer similar to Bradley's fight with Alexander

    It goes both ways. I'm sure, for the right price, they'd work together.

    Agreed. If Bradley boxes, he gets shut out. He fights rough and crazy, he makes it tough for Floyd.

    Yes . It will definitely not be easy for Floyd .

    Bradley has the style that can give Current Floyd a hard fight .

    For one hes not going to stand in front of Floyd and be easy to hit like 90% of Mayweathers opposition , Floyd uses movement , Bradley ALSO uses movements . Trust me You wont see Bradley getting touched that much with that right hand .

    Bradley will NOT fight Floyd the same way he fought Pacquiao which im sure everyone is thinking that right now .

    He thought Manny was so faded that even he will eventually knock him out if he keeps on trading with him .

    TB learned his lesson that night .

    I see him fighting a smart fight and its not like Bradley has to worry about Floyds power or him throwing punches in angles or him fighting in a southpaw stance .

    Bradley would have a lot of BIG moments in this fight .

    It's not a cherry pick. But, people will say it is. Bradley needs to reposition himself to make a legit claim to that fight. He did well against Pac. But, he was clearly beaten.

    Would be interesting. Bradley gets stubborn at times...deviates from the game plan. A rough and tumble affair will win Bradley rounds. But, he has too much respect for Floyd to go to Maidana's levels of rough housing. So, Floyd will take over the fight, once he figures things out. If it's a chess match the odds favor Floyd tremendously.

    TB is a legit threat , I cant see how anyone would dismiss his chances against Floyd .
