did you even read the article about Arum on Bradley's fight? It was Bradley's manager who said it might be foot injury. Right now, in fairness to top rank, they are giving us great fights lately and great fights coming up.

Bradley's manager backed up Arum's story about the injury. I have a feeling Arum is going to say that Bradley's manager was the one who told him about the foot injury and that could be possible.

wasnt theres a pic of bradley in a motherfackin wheelchair?

My opinion of Tim Bradley seems to change with about the same regularity some people change their underwear. I had a ton of respect for him coming up as a prospect and as he went from prospect to contender. My respect for him shot through the roof when he went to Junior Witter's hometown and beat him. I always thought of him as a good little fighter but didn't feel his ceiling was that high until he mugged Devon Alexander into submission. At that point, I felt this guy could be a future elite even without great physical gifts. Then came the handling of the Amir Khan situation, which I'm sure Bradley regrets to this day. But on the flip side, the way he handled that turned out roses when he got the Pacquaio fight. I personally thought Pac was ripe to be upset by a fighter as hungry as Bradley. And even though the fight wasn't nearly as big a robbery as the myth of it has grown to be. I still thought Bradley was clearly beaten, and I think Bradley knows it too, which was pointed out in his postfight interview where he stated he needed to watch the tape to see "if" he won. Since that fight, I have lost a ****load of respect for Bradley in the way he's handled what happen, basically running around insulting people's intellegence speaking as if he were the clear-cut winner. But then comes this article, where he basically calls bull**** on Bob Arum and his bull**** recycled fights and says he'd rather not fight than fight a fight that does absolutely nothing for his career. Now I'm sure within a week or do Storm will say or do something that irratates the hell outta me. But right now, I say good way to go Timmy.

ughhhhh...

most likely arum will talk of matching bradley vs the winner of this weekend but that fight is still a step back for bradley. he needs to unify vs guerrero or fight berto who is a well known fighter and a very credible win for bradley. i think alot of people would pick berto to beat bradley.

A win over Rios would be better than a win over Guerrero at least where the casual fans are concerned. I rate Guerrero more highly that Rios but right now what Bradley needs is a universally entertaining fight.

So why not get paid to beat his ass again? They money is on the table as well as a chance to stay active.

Or maybe, he doesn't wanna look like a jackass and risk injury in a fight that's gonna sell about 50 tickets (which will show his inability to draw), do nothing to advance his career (he'll be fighting a know PED cheat that he's already beat the **** out of, and more importantly probably make him less money when all the reciepts are tallied than his scumbag promoter who's done nothing but throw him under the bus since a fight that his scumbag promoter probably had fixed in the first place.
