    Either one more or he's done.

    Anyway, war Timmy, win or lose.
    He'll at least put an effort forth and show some heart

      Floyd's getting older. He needs to make amends with bob and then go rip up his stable lol.

      Seriously, it's a good fight. Timmy can't match Mayweather skill for skill but I think he comes closest among active fighters to matching Floyd's will to win.

          Man I like Bradley but he would just get whipped on a wide UD like every other Floyd opponent.

            Bradley is a good young fighter but no, he will not beat Mayweather. We just saw a younger, bigger, stronger boxer get totally schooled last night by an aging Mayweather. Whatever list you can come up with the answer is no. Mayweather is not getting beat just yet... By anyone!

              I believe that a lot of people are selling Timothy Bradley skills a little short here. Bradley would be a much more formidable opponent for Mayweather than any of his past previous opponents like Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero or Saul Alvarez for that matter.

              Styles makes fights and Timothy has exceptional boxing ability. He has a very good jab, an excellent combination puncher with good leg movement and can fight off the back foot; Unlike Floyd's previous opponents who are known for their come forward brawling/slugging styles.

              I would still favor Floyd to win but at least Mayweather would be forced to bite down just a little harder and dig a little deeper because Bradley's style is very similar to his. They are both natural boxers who like to fight on the outside.

              Moreover, when was the last time Mayweather faced a stick and move type of an opponent who fights off the back foot? Perhaps since his 140 lbs years. That kind of style has the potential of posing a few match up problems for Mayweather and could make for a very hotly contested fight.

                  I honestly this will happen, once bradley leaves top rank.
