    he looked like crap winning every single round versus a undefeated abregu?

      Imo, he should have a reality check and put aside his pride, don't believe in himself that he really did beat Manny Pacquiao and that he deserved better. Fight some top contenders and rack some great performances and he should be back there in no time.
      well like who? top rank is unwilling to negotiate with GBP. bad long term investment, they have nobody.

        Yeah, winning a world title and making your family financially secure for the rest of your life is a bad move.

        Bradley turned down Peterson because he thinks it's a waste of time. It's not about money. Jeff Chandler did the same thing back in the day; turned down and easy payday because he didn't respect the opponent enough.

        Bradley doesn't need to rush; he's undefeated, got the title, and he's paid.

          Bradley is stepping up and letting Arum know that he is willing to take risks to better his career. Arum doesn't like that and isn't used to it but he will turn it to his advantage.....Bradley is his next Mayweather....he will cave in and give Tim what he wants.......you heard it here first.

            Not really dude, he popped Pac's nose and mouth up. Pac missed a lot of the punches that looked like they landed but it is what it is. Pac had 10 or more PPV fights, Bradley's first PPV headline. In a rematch, Tim makes him look bad....Pac's team knows this. Pac murdered all these other 'bigger" guys but poor little Timmy, moving up in weight, was able to hang with him and give him a tough fight.

            Arum isn't going to sleep on Tim, he will make something happen because he knows Tim will hold out until the contract expires and then go to GBP for the other big fights....he will give Tim a good fight - he can't afford to lose him.

              Where else do you expect him to sign up with? He wasn't happy with Gary Shaw; he pissed off GBP when he refused to fight Khan, who offered him his highest pay day at the time. GBP wanted nothing to do with him.

                You don't get how these guys work. Golden Boy would sign him in a heartbeat. Shaw would jump at the chance to resign him. $$$ talks.

                None of that matters though, because he's set for life and can fight when he feels like.
