    Arum trying to sign Tim Bradley for Manny Pacquiao?

    Tim Bradley, the World Boxing Organization's 140 Junior Welterweight Champion, is certainly on a short list to be a future opponent for Manny Pacquiao.

    Bradley, 24-0, (11 KO's), has reportedly signed a managerial deal with Cameron Dunkin, a manager with lengthy client ties to Arum's Top Rank company. The next move would be a release from promoter Gary Shaw.
    Shaw isn't going to go away easily. He will want to be paid handsomely for developing Bradley. At press time I couldn't determine if Bradley owes any fights to Showtime Network.

    Just in case Floyd Mayweather, Jr isn't around down the road, The light - hitting Bradley would at least be an acceptable opponent.

    Arum certainly knows to think ahead. He always had opponents lined up to challenge Oscar De La Hoya back in the day.

    $ issues would stop this fight from ever happening even if Arum did sign Timothy. Pac is most likely facing 1 or 2 more big names then retiring.

          This would be lame if Pac wasted time fighting someone like this. Seriously.

            Bradley would press him, but Pac would KO him sooner or later. Can't see him winnin, tho he I'd like to see him get his shine. Arum might be better for Bradley than Shaw tho.

              I'd like to see this fight, but I'm not sure it would happen. Bradley is a Showtime fighter, and Arum would want it to be on HBO. Only way it could happen is if Timmy left Shaw...

                  It's a fight that could happen down the road, but right now Pacquiao has more deserving challengers in Mosley, and the winner of Mayweather-Marquez to contend with.

                    Bradley is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

                    I'd like to see him fight any of the following at 140...
                    Pac
                    Hatton
                    Maidana
                    Khan
                    Alexander
                    L. Peterson
                    D. Hopkins
                    Malignaggi

                    140 is stacked.
