Truth be told he doesn't have a chance in hell of landing the fight, and wouldn't have much of a chance in hell of winning the fight at 147. Pacquaio is on a whole different level skill wise, talent wise, name wise, and money wise.
I cringe when people say Cotto and Berto can't hang with Pacquiao, and later go on to say he should fight Bradley who only has beaten one unknown welterweight, and didn't look great doing so.
You have Khan, Maidana, and Ortiz who are all top fighters and good opponents that will all bring good money (emphasis on Khan). You also have a guy who holds two belts who has a legitimate claim at the number one spot at 140 calling you out. On top of this he sells much more tickets than Bradley, and the winner of the fight would become a new boxing star.
My suggestion is that Bradley quit begging guys who probably don't know he exists (as an opponent) for a fight, and rather focus on sensible fights against the guys we want to see him go atwith.

Great Post Street, Green K
He can call out who the f6ck he wants to call out. Whether he gets it is a different story.
Smh @ the Alexander d1ck riding.
Why does it have to be all that? IMO he's a great fighter; Bradley vs Alexander would be intriguing.
Bradley needs to fight Alexander. I admire him for having the guts to throw big names out there, but there's no need to be chasing other fights when a the biggest challenge in your division is ready and waiting. And he should know he's not getting the fight. It just draws attention when you call out names which is why he did it. I do think Pac should drop the 140 lb Ring belt if he ain't defending it though.
Are you will to travel to go see the fight or buy the fight on PPV? If no, don't complain because the demand for the fight is not very high, except for the hardcore boxing fan. I can understand where Tim is coming from. Tim pretty much has a small fan base and some HBO exposure where he can fights bums for about the same amount of money as he would make for fighting Devon. These two guys needs to fight some of the older legends to build a name.
Why not!? Alexander is making a name for himself too? Why are fans so worried about the "mula". It's unrealistic to call out an unattainable fight like Pac. Let's be realistic here, Bradley's calling is Maidana, Ortiz, Khan and Alexander. You right about one thing...I am a hardcore boxing fan, and as a fan he needs to fight one of those fighters.

So you dont think that he should call out the best? What would happen to boxing if fighters on their way up stopped wanting to fight the best. More disapointments like Paq vs Floyd not happening, thats what. Maybe he should call out some scrubs instead.
I don't think Bradley was seriously challenging Pacquiao. He has to know that he's nowhere near ready to fight someone of that caliber, even if they did accept such a challenge (which they wouldn't). Instead it seems more like he's just trying to get his name out there. If you want people to talk about you, challenge one of the most well known guys near your weight division. The fact that this thread exists is proof that it's effective marketing.
clottey was the next biggest name in the WW division then. floyd/shane busy. berto in haiti. marg was banned. and easiest to make in 2months time.
Clottey was a big name for top rank. And convenient for them. He didn't make a splash because of his resume. His biggest win is Zab Judah. A guy most of you think can't fight.Unless it's convenient for you. I won't even get into Clotteys purse split against Pacquiao.
I would watch him fight any of those fighters. You can say he's not ready but that's a cop out. A fighter can't prove that by not taking the fight. A lot of people thought Mosley wasn't ready when he jumped from 135 to 147.The same with Pacquiao. But they proved those people wrong and you don't hear it anymore. The bottom line is we really don't know how the fight will go until it happens. We do know that Bradley can't be any worse than Clottey and Jennings. Not from what I've seen.
I'm not saying that I wouldn't watch him fight those guys just saying I'm not gonna cry if he doesn't get the fights either.
Yeah Bradley calling out Williams or Floyd is just a ridiculous but berto I think would be a great fight for Tim. I would watch it!!

Yeah people forget Clottey was just kind of a just throw him in their because we need a fighter on short notice kinda deal.

Don't know what your on, but Alexander sells more tickets than Bradley and has already been on HBO against a better oppoennnt. Also Alexander packs venues in St Luis.
I used to be real high on Bradley, but he's not as good as I thought.
Anyone at 40' beats him imo.
I'd lay money that Khan, Maidana and Alexander all stop him too.
Pac would skin his ass alive.
Utter insanity.
And Bradley did call out the rest of the 40 pounders. Obviously he's gonna throw out the Pac idea and hope it sticks, kinda how Marquez did with Mayweather. But he also spent time calling out all the rest of the 140 pounders because he knows that's the practical thing to do. And he did so I don't know what people are complaining about.
Yeah I don't understand the complaining either. Fighters are in the business to make money. But some people choose to ignore that for their convenience and agenda
If Bradley had called out Mayweather Berto,and Williams,they would be all for that with full support. At least we know Bradley will fight to win and not just go the distances and look for a way out. Joshua Clottey?

Can't fault a man for wanting more mula. I don't know what he has made so far in his career but it probably hasn't been much and that is why he is focused on making money. You can just tell how he talks about Alexander that he has made chump change and fighting him demands a higher dollar and it just isn't there. Probably make around the same amount as he did for Abregu as he would fighting Devon.

No Alexander puts 15K in areanas.
