Comments Thread For: Team Alexander: Bradley Has To Settle Things at 140 First

[Iceta Lives]

Agreed but even Peterson would have been good honestly.Two boxer punchers going at it(Power edge Devon)would have been really good.I love the way Peterson showed great heart in his fight with Bradley.But I agree with your post.

What the hell would Alexander gain from that fight? Peterson just lost to Bradley. Hell, the fact that Alexander destroyed Urango is probably the reason Bradley is calling Berto out instead. I think the better Alexander looks, the more Bradley will keep avoiding him.

How is Berto a bigger draw than Alexander is? His fight in FL did jack **** at the gate and it was for a Haiti charity relief. That tells you all you need to know about Berto's lack of fan base. And if you want to compare their performances with Urango, it's easy to come to the conclusion that Alexander is better and more dangerous than Berto. Arum already said Bradley isn't worth Pacquiao's time and Mayweather passed the torch to Alexander. This is actually for another one of your posts that said there's more money at 147 than at 140.

Come on, who cares what Berto pays..... he's a beltholder at 147.

Bradley, like everyone, wants the two money fights..... Berto is just a stepping stone to him.

LOL again? Really Cunningham? This is starting to look like Judah-Spinks all over again, just with one side staying shut (whereas Yoel Judah Didnt hesistate to shout back). I know Cunningham very well. First he shows his immature side, and then afterwards he tries to act like a victim and draw the fans to his side. Behind the crackhead side, he's a very wise guy. I hope Timmy takes the same route as Judah and doesn't let it get to the point where he starts getting hated.

For the hundredth time, Timmy is NOT moving up to 147 permanently. The Abregu fight is just to make it known that he's available in both divisions. In fact, Maidana is the frontrunner for a November showdown. I think he should take at least two more fights at 140 before going for the 147 title, but time isn't exactly on his side, and his body isn't exactly built for JWW either.

And as for the David Haye comparisons, that's just ******ed. After Abregu, Timmy will be targetting nothing but big fights. It's not like he's targetting lightweights with big names like GBP and Cunningham are (Joel Casamayor and Humberto fricken Soto) when there are guys like Lamont Peterson and Kaiser Mabiza available.

You made some good points, but if Bradley decides to take the Berto fight..... then he aint going back to 140..... you can trust me on that one.

if he wants to go for 147

he needs to fight cotto, clottey, margarito, berto, b4 he is worthy to face pac or mayweather

What..... all of them ?

[LeadUppercut]

Exactly! I am a fan of Bradley but you can't just ditch the division without having fought the top guys.

Tell me something..... are you a fan of Pac, or May, or Shane, or Oscar..... or anyone else really ?

Post me your top 10 favourite fighters please

It would have been a better fight fore him that's what he would have gained.Peterson lost to bradley but did not look bad doing it.Kotelnik got outclassed and was flat all night.Not Peterson he was drop got up an damn near won the rd.Point is from base on their last fights I'd rather see Peterson in the ring again more then Kotelnik.

I agree with you Romey.

Oh of course not. I'm aware of that. The way I see it, it can go one of three possible ways.


1. First Maidana, then Alexander, then Berto, then some top WW

What he would get: Top 5 WW, maybe a low spot on the p4p list but he could climb up

2. First Maidana, then Berto, then Alexander (with more hype), then one or two top WWs, then possibly Floyd

What he would get: Undesputed WW champ and p4p king status or top 7 p4p without Floyd (assuming he retires by then or something, I don't know)

3. First Berto, then two or three top WWs, then maybe Floyd

What he would get: p4p king status or top 5 p4p without Floyd


I'd prefer #2, but #3 would make it more likely for him to get Floyd though.

Personally, I think that we can rule out Manny.

If the Mayweather fight fall's through, Manny will only fight a Top Rank fighter. Uncle Bob will see to that.

Here is the main problem for Bradley: Who know's how many fight's Mayweather has left in him..... and you have to bring a certain something to the table if you wanna dance with Floyd = $$$.

IMHO, Bradley's best option would be..... Abregu > Mayweather.

But that will rely on luck, and timing, and it would also rely on the Pac fight falling through. Bradley is tied up for the next two-and-a-half weeks with Abregu, after which he is technically available, which is again IMHO..... about the exact time that the Pac/May fight will be confirmed/denied.

It then relies on luck, and it depends on what Floyd wants to do next.

There is not much left at 147 for Mayweather, other than Manny. Floyd doesn't give a **** about belts, and nobody else will make him any money. Will Mayweather pick a stay-busy fight until after the Pac/Margo bout, so that they can enter into the third round of negotiations?

Remember, there are not many options for Mayweather at 147 if he wants a stay-busy fight. The current WBO Champion and 140-lb kingpin, would be a fine choice.

Or will Mayweather go to 154?..... and if not, will Bradley bring enough to the table to get Floyd's juices flowing? I think that maybe Floyd would only go up to 154lb if it was his last fight, because I don't think that he would intend to stay there.

Bradley has a chance here, albiet a very small one..... because I think that it is possible that the Manny/Floyd fight may even be confirmed before Bradley's date with Abregu.

But Bradley's next, and more likely option, would be.....
Abregu > Berto > Mayweather.

And his best chance of landing that fight would be if Mayweather decided not to go up to 154 after he beats Manny, but to stay at 147 and have 2-3 money fights. He would fight the Champion, but not for the belt.

If Bradley beats Berto, and then - depending on timing - beats another top 10 WW..... then he will be very, very, close, to being the best available option for Mayweather at 147.

I was going threw this thread and it reminds me so much of what's happening now with Bradley and Khan..Just wanted guys to read how they was saying Bradley was a ducker and was scared of Alexander like they are saying he's scared of Khan..My mom use to always say there's nothing new under the sun...
