Comments Thread For: Bradley Trainer Says He'll Fight Cotto, Canelo, Bundrage

Bradley is far too small for 154.

No he's not, he fought Ward, Dirrell, and Angulo in the amateurs.

Bradley

Bradley has always been willing to fight anybody. He isn't a Haymon boy,so he can go up against the best.

So he fought huge guys while wearing headgear and pillows... Did he win any of those fights? I would be SHOCKED if he beat Ward, I'd believe Angulo and Dirrel though.

Ward, Dirrell, and Angulo were lucky they had on headgear and pillow gloves when they fought T-Brad.

Ha ha. Yeah, that head of his Tim's is deadly.

This is the same mistake that Meldrick Taylor's management made with him. They moved him all the way up to 154 and he just wasn't the same fighter at that weight. Tim better know what he's doing. Now that Haymon and TR are working together, it would be much wiser to stay at 147 and fight those guys. With Mayweather and Pacquiao both at the end of their career, Tim could take the division over and go down as an all time great. At 154, it appears like he's now only fighting for a payday. The move will definitely shorten his career.

should be Bradley vs. Rios.

TB has been a good boxer without much power. He is small (5'6") and granting he is tough but moving to an upper division would probably make him to start losing by KO or TKO. In fact, on his fight with Provodnikov he looked vulnerable and he was lucky to finish the fight. Some WW he still could face include Brook, Thurman, Khan, Maidana, Porter, Garcia, Alexander, Sadam Ali, etc.
I agree that Tim going to JMW would result on shortening his boxing career. There could be one or two big paychecks but after a while his name would lose relevance and eventually the defeats would make him retire.

Meldrick Taylor was a Bantamweight in the amateurs, Bradley was going to war with Ward, Dirrell, and Angulo in the amateurs, big difference. T-Brad will do just fine up at his natural weight class.

Lol how? Tim Bradley is moving up to 154 because he has nothing left to prive at 147. Top rank has so many great fighters. Pacquiao, cotto, Marquez, Bradley, Crawford, Mikey Garcia is coming back, lomcahenko, Walters, gradovich, ECT. ECT. Top rank is nowhere near being done. They are the number 1 promoters in the business and they have HBO in their pocket, how is top rank done? That is laughable

Crawford and Pacquiao are the only marketable stars. JMM is more than likely done. Top Rank does not have Cotto he can take his services where he chooses. Not one of their other fighters has marketability to be a star. Lomachenko can't fight people as small as Russel jr. all his career, and Mikey Garcia will not be coming back.
