Timothy Bradley May Drop Down To Lightweight

[Jack.Frost.]

Bradley is getting ahead of himself here. With his surprise victory over Witter he leapt from relatively unheralded prospect/ contender to world champion, and while he looks to have all the tools, he still has more to prove as a truly elite boxer. Lightweight is very deep and he runs the risk of going down only to become an also-ran. If he stays at 140 he has a good chance to become the man, and there are meaningful fights to be made there, Paulie Malignaggi should be a makeable fight for example, whether Paulie wins or loses against Hatton.

Of course, if Bradley is following the money then lightweight makes sense based on probability and finance. More big name fighters means more chance of fighting them means more paydays. I would like to see Bradley solidify as a force at 140 though.

imo he should stay at lw try to get a fight with malignaggi

[Mr. Ryan]

Not a bad idea, since Hatton isn't going to fight him and there aren't any other fights that can make him 6 figures at 140.

That and Malig ain't gonna break his brittle hands no mo. If he can, he should roll the dice against the big names at 135 for the sake of making the big bucks.

Bradley would be better off staying at 140.

BoxingScene.com was informed by WBC junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (23-0, 11KOs) that he is seriously considering a move to the lightweight division. Although Bradley is undefeated and beat a guy who many considered one of the best at the weight in Junior Witter, he still can't seem to entice the big names and other champions to fight him. Five-pounds south, the lightweight division is very deep and has more than enough big names to go around. [details]

Timothy Bradley has a face that looks like an ass inside out.

[Fearless BONG]

Well Bradley has a point because Lightweight is now a very hot division, there's a lot of fighter here who will give him best and highest purse bid if he is going to fight the great fighters of Lightweight. But I dont think this is a good idea for him because Pacman is now fighting at Jr. Welter after his battle with ODLH on Dec 6. there will be a posibility for a showdown after Hatton at 140lbs.

bradley should call them up to 140 not go down to 135.

[$partacus]

bradley should call them up to 140 not go down to 135.

Bradley should give Witter his rematch

[boxing2106]

Wasn't he over the limit for the Cherry fight? Surely he'll be REALLY weight drained if he tries to make 135
