Why not?
He is the ONLY other Accomplished fighter at 147, outside of Pacquiao and Marquez.
But it seems that Thurman, Khan, Brook take priority over him.
Bradley made both fights with Manny highly competitive with an injury each time.
Neither fight was close, the first almost a shut out, the worse it could have been scored was 9-3 Manny, Manny won the first 9 rounds easy (don't care what the paid off judges had). The second was a little closer, but Manny won easy.
If the fights were really close, there would have been a 3rd since Bradley "won" the first.
Bradley would be a problem for anyone at 140 and 147. I doubt if there has ever been a big demand for a fight between Floyd and Tim, but it would be a very competitive fight. What makes anyone think that it wouldn't be??? Bradley made both fights with Manny highly competitive with an injury each time. He showed alot of skill and speed against Marquez. Both Manny and Marquez are future hall of famers. And, I think anyone with a combination of skill, stamina, hand and footspeed, and championship pedigree would give an aging Mayweather serious problems. Bradley brings all that to the table. What fighter has Floyd fought in the last 5 years presented that type of threat???
Bradley is good but Pacquiao is clearly better so the demand was for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. Also Bradley only fights about every 8 months so he gets forgotten about unlike Thurman who stays busy. Thurman often scores knockouts and knock downs. When is the last time Bradley knocked anybody down? When is the last time Bradley knocked anybody out? Bradley is brave, tough, and skillful but he doesn't bring that excitement that the big punchers do.
Bradley would have been maybe the second toughest fight for him at WW outside Manny.
He's athletic and and will throw a lot and has that granite chin to walk through Floyd's pot shots. He'd win a lot of rounds just because he throws a lot Floyd get's too conservative and doesn't throw enough.
I can't see Bradley giving Mayweather any trouble. Like at all. I see a Guerrero type performance from him. Getting beat to every single punch.
No way man, Guerrero doesn't even move his head at all. Even Bradley evaded some of Pac's punches.
Bradley would be game, but would lose a unanimous decision clearly. He doesn't have the accuracy to bother Mayweather in my opinion. His punches will be telegraphed and Mayweather would have an easy time. Bradley would be hitting mostly elbows and shoulders.
Also Mayweather would be protected by the ref from Bradley's head.
After Bradley had a "win" over Pac and win over Marquez I saw some people wanted it.
Only reason it's an interesting fight is because Bradley doesn't give up, he fights for the win for all 12 rounds.
I never really had an interest because he poses no stylistic threat to Mayweather. He's primarily a mover and a boxer except Floyd is better than him at both.
I'm not very sure Mr. Larry but I would watch it! Might be a hugfest though.
Larry is a dude who's username starts with a B on this thread.
I doubt Larry is a Sergio fan, but like a F-L-O-M-O.
