Question about Bradley

The kid just needs to take a fight, any fight, so that the public will take him seriously again. All the regular boxing fan thinks when they hear 'Tim Bradley' is the Pacquiao robbery. One good performance is all that's needed to wash away that stain. By sitting around, he's allowing that last performance to linger, hurting his PR and his ability to make more meaningful fights.

Well, all I know is that Bradley has played a similar game like this before and look what it got him... a pacquiao fight. Wouldn't be surprised to see all the rumors going around about him to be true.

I agree with this... I understand where he's coming from but I don't think Bradley understands how the public feels about him and does he not realize he can't get those big fights he wants?

why would he fight Gamboa? he gains nothing from that fight but even more scorn has Bradley said anything about not being able to make JWW? thought he just stayed at WW since there's bigger names there either way, it's looking like Rios is the most sensible fight for him it can happen at either weight 1) Cause what else is there? Even if he's offered Mike Jones he will probably turn it down cause Bradley's after beating Pacquiao multiplied by 10 and will probably think he's too good to be fighting people like Mike Jones. I don't care what anyone says, a fight vs Gamboa would be a pretty exciting fight. 2) He hasn't said anything directly but the fact that he doesn't even wanna do a catchweight tells me he doesn't wanna go down. Why? Idk why. He never mentioned anything about struggling to make 140 or wanting to move up (not that I know of anyway). So doesn't he wanna fight at 140? 3) Chances are pretty high that Bradley beats Rios easily so Im not sure Arum would wanna do that. As hougigo pointed out, Rios is a long term investment and I don't think that's a chance Arum would wanna take it. Is Bradley really turning down these high profile fights?? Like Gamboa?? That's an easy payday right there. Say what you want but this is a pretty dangerous fight for Bradley IMO. Bradley isnt that much bigger than Gamboa either. Sure Gamboa looked like sh*t (compared to his other outings) vs Farenas but let's be real here, he put on 20 lbs overnight after a 15 month layoff. Who wouldn't be exhausted as f*ck? He still dominated the guy as he was supposed to, aside from the KD. Even after the KD he recovered the next round and came back again. You can take it as an excuse or whatever you want to take it as. Also add the fact that Bradley well be out the ring for almost a year by the time this fight happens (if it does) and it could be a recipe for disaster. Idk that's just how I feel. I don't see as a huge mismatch like a lot of people are making it sound like.

I was high on Bradley before the Pac fight, and still am. I understand him wanting to move forward not backwards. Peterson was dominated and was caught doping so after beating Pacman (officially he won like it or not), I too would be expecting bigger things. Tim was on everybody's p4p list before winning against Pac so I understand not taking just any fight. I agree with this...

Bradley fighting Gamboa is a no win situation. He wins, he beat a small fighter coming up. He loses, now he just lost to a small fighter coming up. I really hope it's because Mayweather-Bradley is happening. Gamboa needs to focus on 130-135 and start making noise there again.

Fighting Gamboa at any weight is stupid. Other than that, I have no idea what the hell is Bradley doing. Like I said before, Bradley is in a situation where he has to take what he can get or sit on the shelves. I really dunno wth he wants or is looking for. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android
