Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Slides in, Snatches K9 Bundrage Shot?

[jas]

Bradley is still running from Khan I see.

Horrendous fight.

Khan is chasing broner

[icha]

He has to make a fight for Bradley, regardless ....but yeah, this would be two birds with one stone if he pulls this off.

At the very least, he'd probably like to drive up Bundrage's price for Cotto.

Very curious to see what numbers Roc is showing Bundrage.

exactly what i think is going to happen, if arum cant get k9 , it will make it expensive as hell for roc nation and cotto...
like schaeffer did to arum during the cotto-maravilla negotiations, cotto ended up being overpaid on a ppv fight that bombed..
k9 is one lucky bastard, imagine if the mw belt is on the line, the mofo will end up being two division champion...

Yea arum has to look out for bradley. he isn't dealing with cotto anymore.

[El Campesino]

you don't think cotto would fight at the barclay's??? Top rank can put that fight in msg on the same night cotto would fight at barclays. What you think is gonna "sell more"?

It'd be like the Canelo vs. Lopez and Chavez Jr. vs. Martinez fights in Las Vegas all over again, but the Puerto Rican edition. Cotto vs. ? and Verdejo vs. ? in New York.

Timothy Bradley, at one point of his career, was headed towards greatness. His biggest mistake was resigning with Arum. TR does not have the fighters at 140 and 147 for Tim to excel. So now, he is forced to move up in weight. He is now very limited. There is no shame in losing to Pacquioa, who is an all time great. But by moving up in weight, he will be taking losses to much lesser fighters simply because he lacks size and power. I think Tim was fighting for legacy when he 1st faced Manny, now he is strictly fighting for pay days.

If he would stay down at 147 and fight those guys, he has a very good chance at being the top guy at that weight. He has the skills, experience, and speed to beat guys like Thurman, Maidana, Guerrero, Brook, Porter, and Khan. With that type of resume, he would be a first ballot hall of famer. But, what does a win vs Bundrage truly mean??? Then where does he go after that??? I'm happy for him and his family. He has made great money fighting under TR, but his legacy will never reach its full potential fighting under their banner.

Hit the nail on the head. TR is really fcking up Bradley's career. I agree with you that Bradley has the potential to be a HOF welterweight and could beat the top guys in the division right now. But instead Arum wants to pimp TB and use him as a bargaining chip instead of furthering his career. There is nothing to gain in a fight with Bundrage.

[WESS]

Man Bradley sacrificed his career that was headed on the right track for them Pac pay days... I can't say I blame him. I can't recall what he was making before but Bob got'em and got'em good with the money. More than likely anyone would have done the same..

lol @ k9 being in a bidding war

[Mr.Fantastic]

Bradley should stick to 147. He should fight someone like Rios or Matthysse.

[Bardock]

LMAO Jotto fans gon be pissed

[bojangles1987]

If there's a super welterweight beltholder Bradley could beat, Bundrage is it.
