    Tim Bradley slams Canelo for hand-picking Makabu at cruiserweight instead of Benavidez

    Tim Bradley is ripping on Canelo for going up to cruiserweight to fight an “unknown” fighter.

    https://www.************.com/2021/11...m=facebook&amp

    Tim Bradley ducked Amir Khan when Khan was the #2 rated fighter at 140 by The Ring, behind #1 ranked Bradley.

    Bradley’s response to Khan calling him out:

    “If I Lose To Amir Khan I'm Out Of Mayweather / Pacquiao Sweepstakes"

    Bradley legitimately ducked Khan due to his concerns of not being able to win. Out of his own mouth, he found Khan too risky at the time. This is actually a duck. Like, it does not get more clearer than that. He refused to fight Khan and instead fought the older, past prime, and ready to retire, Joel Casamayor.

    If Canelo, who Bradley is sh/tting on, ducked Trout and Canelo’s reason was: “I don’t want to fight Trout because if he beats me, I don’t get the Mayweather fight.” Canelo would never live that down.

    Or if Canelo publicly states: “I can’t fight Lara because if I lose, I would lose out on fighting Miguel Cotto.”

    Canelo has bigger balls than Bradley, clearly. Canelo has an amazing resume that dwarfs Bradley’s resume. If Canelo would have pulled such a b/tch move like Bradley did with Khan, Canelo would been killed by the media and his critics. He already is, even now, despite him fighting everyone he had to fight.

    Bradley is a scrub. He would've never dared to move up two divisions, and fought the current #2 or #3 MW champ. He would've never dared to have fought GGG, Charlo, Andrade or even Murata.

    So I don't want to hear his opinions on who Canelo should or shouldn't be fighting.

      You make fair points about Tim but I actually applaud Tim for being honest about that.

      A lot of guys do the same they just aren’t honest.

        It's a ridiculous notion.

        A fighter moving up 2 weight classes, 40 lbs give or take, to fight the #2 guy at the weight class and it be labelled a cherry pick.

        Never seen anything so ridiculous in my life.

        Andrade just did an interview with IFLTV where he said "Canelo is fighting nobodies"

        Andrade is yet to fight a single Top 5 ranked fighter in his entire career and he's 33 years old and has been a pro for over a decade.

            spot on. when theres 5 or 6 realistic fights that could be made and are more attractive to the fans and would have closer odds, how is picking this guy not a cherry pick? what fans were asking for canelo to fight mugabwu after the plant fight? absolute none. the only time he fought a fighter who anyone has heard of he got took out in 3 rounds by tony bellew. i dont understand why canelos loser fans and dumb casuals on here are making out hes taking on the challenge of the century, wow mugabwu is big, so what. i guess david haye is now an ATG then, he beat valuev who was a lot bigger and a champ. if you arent a canelo fanboy and think him beating up some big stiff is impressive just cause they are bigger, go find another sport to comment on

              No one called for it because the idea of Canelo moving up 2 weight classes to Crusierweight to fight one of the champions there wasn't even considered fathomable.

              The guy is not even a big SMW.

              Makabu has multiple wins over CW's ranked in the Top 10 and is clearly a very dangerous fighter. The fact you don't know that doesn't mean it's not the case.
