    Why is Tim Bradley not fighting Haymon/Golden Boy fighters?

    Everyone else is working across the lines.

    May Vs Pac
    Provodo Vs Lucas Matthysse

    To me it benefits Bradley the MOST. I feel that Bradley easily shines against alot of GBP and Haymon fighters.

    I think Bradley beats most of their stable.

    Bradley Vs Thurman
    Bradley Vs Broner
    Bradley Vs Garcia
    Bradley Vs Porter
    Bradley Vs Khan

    These are all high ranked, big name opponents, a few he can easily beat.

      I can easily see him losing every single one of those fights too.

        Yea, but the point is, they are winnable fights.

        Especially against Porter and Garcia.

          outside of may vs pac, what other fights are scheduled with top rank vs haymon fighters? provodnikov isn't a top rank fighter and i don't think matthysse is with haymon anymore.

            He's making his money where he is I guess. It's not all about money (for the fans) but he has made quite a chunk of change fighting for TR.

                Bradley is the one who has beaten Pac, beaten JMM, etc...how come none of those fighters were jumping at the chance of fighting an accomplished champ. He is the one with the resume, they should be calling him out

                  Other than Khan I can't see Bradley being favored in any of those match ups. No doubt he can compete with all those guys but I'd fancy those other guys. They all have the stylistic or physical advantage over Tim. All except Khan who can't fight on the inside. I could see Tim forcing Khan into that kind of fight.
