Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley Looking To Clean House at 140-Pounds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Keith Idec - Timothy Bradley has changed his mind.

Bradley now believes that he doesn’t need to fight Manny Pacquiao to validate his place in boxing. A move up to welterweight to face Pacquiao obviously would fatten Bradley’s bank account, but the unbeaten junior welterweight world champion seems at peace with spending 2011 and perhaps 2012 trying to secure his spot as the top 140-pound boxer in the world.

Just a month ago, during the beginning of a promotional tour for Bradley’s highest-profile fight, the likeable Palm Springs, Calif., native mentioned a potential fight against Pacquiao almost as much as his Jan. 29 showdown with Devon Alexander at The Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich. He has since grown “sick of chasing people” and “calling people out,” so he has shifted his focus toward becoming boxing’s undisputed junior welterweight king. [Click Here To Read More]

Bradley and Alexander have done a 180 with their attitudes it seems like. It appeared when Alexander looked less vulnerable and more of a threat, it was Bradley talking this stuff about how money needs to be right and Alexander saying he'd fight anybody. But after that Kotelnik fight, Alexander wants to fight little JMM and Bradley is saying he'll fight anybody. Lol.

Tim's moving in the right direction. He just needs to keep doing what he's doing...staying active, fighting other top fighters and winning while building a larger fan base. Eventually, someone will come ringing and he'll get that fat paycheck.

i think HBO told bradley he's gotta clean out 140 lbs before they would consider putting him in with pac. plus fighting khan and jmm are lucrative fights. he might as well get paid before getting in there with pac.

Yeah I'm not buying Bradley's talk just yet.

He is telling us fans what we wanna hear right now, maybe because he knows that there is potential of losing here. He doesn't want Pacquiao? But wants to stay at 140.....that's because again, there in his mind there is potential of losing here against Alexander.

Before this fight got signed, he was turning into Money Bradley giving Devon the runaround.

timmy will win this fight he should ko khan next

[kenso]

excellent stuff from bradley. if his actions reflect his words - he will gain lots of fans and end up making more money than cherry picking anyway. i'm not a big fan of bradley yet, but i do like the guy and think hes talented. if he beats devon and lines up a fight with another legit fighter - i will truly be a fan. if only promoters and fighters thought like this all of the time.

I can't argue with anything that Bradley said. Let's go Alexander vs Bradley!

[Abraham Reyes]

this should be a star making fight for the winner, which will more than likely be bradley. After this it should be khan, hey maybe alexander and maidana can go at it.

That's what most afro americans has in common, big mouth.
