Bradley doesn't need to fight Peterson again, it's so pointless. He's shown what he can do to him.

Perhaps Arum isn't used to a fighter not acting like a dog and following his commands. Either way, there's nothing immature about wanting to get a better fight. We're railing on Tim because he doesn't want to take a crappy bout? The lengths we go to on here.
For the record, I don't think Peterson should have earned the title shot nor should he even be licensed, but who's going to be available for Bradley in February that isn't available now?
Sometimes "not acting like a dog" is a horrible move. Look at how it turned out for Gamboa and Dirrell. Look at how that turned out for James Kirkland.
It's admirable to stand up at times like in Cotto's case, but don't act like every fighter should do the same. This generation's of fighters have led to a lot of pricing out and for good fights not being made.
At the same time, Arum and Golden Boy have led to a lot of good fights not being made too. It's bull**** on both sides, but don't act like Timmy isn't doing something super smart here.
Whether you think Peterson Bradley II is a **** fight or not (I personally think it's okay. Undeserved, but it makes sense) doesn't mean Bradley's attitude shouldn't be applauded.
This is twice now he has done this.

Originally posted by PBP View PostHe specifically said that the promoters not working together are causing him to miss opportunities to benefit his career. So I assume he wants a fight with a GBP fighter who has a deep roster at and around his weight class.

Good on Bradley for saying no to this terrible fight.
I get the feeling Bradley is going to regret signing with Top Rank.
