    And he can fight for Top Rank still, just against Golden Boy fighters.

    No need to have him boxed in.

      It sounds good on paper but I don't think GBP nor TR are on Hymen's radar or part of his plan at all.

        Haymon-Arum Cold War still exists. Making Pacquiao-Mayweather was HIGHLY beneficial to both financially and had to be done.

        Matthysse is no longer with Haymon and Provodnikov isn't a Top Rank fighter

          I think he's a clear, sizable favorite over Broner and Porter. Khan and Garcia I see as 50/50 fights with Bradley, while Thurman may be a slight favorite over Tim.

            Tim is fighting rios next. He knew what would happen when he resigned with tr. good for his bankroll. Not so much for his legacy

              Top Rank has done right by Tim Bradley, period.

                Yeah, I'm expecting Bradley Rios next. I have to see this 154 vs. bundrage stuff to believe it...

                I'd love to see Bradley - Maidana though. That just seems like a great match up.

                  Dunno, if Rios comes in to the fight on the same stuff he was on in the last Alvarado fight, Tim better be on his game because Rios looked like a machine in there...BY FAR, the best shape I have ever seen him in.

                    What is it with these weird ass fan boy responses??

                    No one is saying Tim should leave Top Rank, I'm just saying there are big fights out there that Tim can win at 147.
