Top Rank CEO Bob Arum likes the chances of former two division world champion Timothy Bradley in a dangerous fight with IBO/WBA 160-pound champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin.
Bradley is ready, willing and able to fight Golovkin. First, Bradley must beat undefeated Jessie Vargas on Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
Arum says a fight between Bradley and Golovkin would NOT take place at 160-pounds. Bradley and Golovkin would have to meet halfway at the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds. If the fight happens at 154, Arum is confident that Bradley has a shot to win.
"He is talking about the possibility of getting a fight against Golovkin and I believe that if anyone has a good chance to beat GGG, it is Tim Bradley. At the moment, he has a very difficult fight against Jessie Vargas this Saturday, so we have to wait to see what comes out of that meeting," Arum told Rigo Cervantez.
"I don't think Bradley can fight at 160, because that would make him too slow. But I think he can add a few pounds and fight at 154 pounds, if Golovkin would agree to come down to that weight."
