    Two Reasons:

    1) Floyd's style wouldn't have been a good matchup for Bradley, and people only want to call for Floyd fight someone if they thought he might lose.

    2) Bradley was with Top Rank, so that fight was just as unlikely to be made as Mayweather-Pacquiao.

      Yeah I see Floyd being a stylistic nightmare for Timmeh

      it’s an anything you can do, I can do better scenario

      at least Marquez could throw better combinations

        I was here when Bradley was seen as a possible Mayweather opponent and just about everyone panned that fight. Because they all knew Bradley had no really shot at winning. I thought it would have been a good fight. Bradley wasn't gonna win but he should pose some stylistic trouble if he chose to fight instead of box. Tim had 2 gears. That's what I always appreciated about him

          I remember at time why Floyd didn't want timmy and most did. But I think people got impression Tim wasn't on Floyd s radar? For whatever reason.
          At time I was thinking go on Floyd prove your no1 American WW.
          Get just 1 win over timmy. Pac s got 3 and Pac s resume just had more depth as a result

            Floyd beats Bradley up.
            It would been a very negative fight with holding, pot shotting, and low output.

            Hard pass

              That's another great match up that should have been made.

                Sissyboy froze out TR fighters and his own fans to fight lesser GB fighters. Engraved in stone...

                  Tim wasn’t a TR or GBP fighter. He was a free agent that chose to sign with TR to avoid Floyd.

                  He chose the easier and lower ranked fighter. You can’t change that decision.

                  so I ask again, why would anyone give manny credit for beating a guy that ducked Floyd like that?

                      Tim was better at using his head as a weapon

                      for all of Floyd’s skills he didn’t headbutt guys lol
