    The article was mostly all conjecture and assumptions, but it sounded like Bradley's with TR for a LONG time.

    Pretty much said, by the time Bradley's done with his contract, Floyd might not even be boxing anymore.

      I think Bradley, Trout and Pacquaio all give Floyd problems. Bradley has the speed and elusiveness to do well against Mayweather and I think it would be a really competitive fight. Trout is also interesting, I thought he won against Canelo and he isn't a come-forward guy. I'm still positive that Manny would win against Floyd, he had to fight Marquez four times, which I think would be difficult for anyone. The speed, output, and accuracy that Pacquaio has is nothing like what anything Floyd has fought.

          Nah its just another year"

          “We’ll have to cross that bridge when we get there. I’m tied into Top Rank for another year. I’m a man of my word and fulfill my contract. If it’s possible to sign with Top Rank, if they have options for me, then that’s what I’ll do. If not, then we look for better options. I’m not really worried about it now. I’m just going to take it one fight at a time and that’s all that I can do.”
          So 2015 he's fair game. But I expect him to resign with Top Rank. They've made him so much money despite not having a big fanbase.

            Hopefully it is done sooner than that, but if not that was the price Bradley paid for these big fights with Top Rank and tough to fault him since he has done good going down that path.

            Hopefully it doesn't get added to the long list of fights that could never get made.

              Yeah, I think that's what the article was insinuating. Strings attached to his last fight or something like that, where he'd be re-upped for another handful of fights/years, if he were to rematch someone like Manny or something.

              I don't think he's leaving TR. Other than Manny, he's really their only name that's a legit P4P talent.

                Right. How many people can honestly say they've headlined 2 PPVs with Pacquiao and JMM?

                That's as good of a career as you can get.

                    Bradley could make Floyd miss, when he's not attacking. But once bradley starts throwing punches, he'll get countered over the jab, pull countered with the right hand, hit with uppercuts coming in, and have a forearm shoved in his face all night. Floyd would bully him on the inside, out reach him on the outside, and catch him coming in. His defense and punch placement would lower Bradley's typical output, just like it has everyone else.

                    Bradley is one of those fighters who's defense and offense have an off/on switch. He has not learned to seamlessly intertwine both offense and defense like Floyd can. In terms of boxing brains, Bradley is a solid B student compared to Floyd the valedictorian.

                    This is silly, really. It would be a fun fight to watch, because I like the art of boxing, but Floyd would hold every advantage. Including footwork. Bradley's footwork is good but herky jerky at times, he would get caught off balance by Floyd's punch placement and superior sense of balance.

                    Floyd doesn't need to fight smaller guys. The big money is in bigger guys. Guys know Floyd has a big size disadvantage against. That will get the 2 million ppv buy paydays. Serg or GGG should be who is getting floated around, not danny or bradley.
