    the welterweight division is pretty weak in comparison to Floyd and Manny

      Mayweather clearly beat Pacquaio. Marquez knocked out Pacquaio. Bradley looked out of his depth in both fights against Pacqauaio. Why would I want to see him against Mayweather?

      I would like to see one of the young lions like Brook or Thurman get a shot. GGG would be a dream fight but that's not going to happen.

          I like Bradley, he seems to be the forgotten man since the second Pacquiao fight. I think he's still the 3rd best WW out there. I would favour him over Khan, Porter, Brook, Thurman etc.

            Heck yeah, Tim would give Floyd more trouble than these other guys because of his reflexes and countering ability. Floyd doesn't attack like Manny does so Bradley should be able to hold his ground during exchanges.

              I may be biased here - by looking at my avatar you can see that. But I think Bradley-Mayweather would be a competitive fight. I also feel Tim is the best welterweight out there minus Pac and Mayweather. Mayweather likely wins via a boring decision, but Tim has been in with the best and held his own. He won several rounds between the two Pac fights, and clearly beat Marquez. During the second Pac fight he was actually winning the fight mid way through, but changed his game plan and blew the fight. The problem here is that I really don't see Mayweather going out of his way to make a fight that is not being demanded by the general public, especially having to work with Bob again.

                I think we all can agree Bradley is without a doubt, the most deserving of a Mayweather fight. Hes the only other welterweight(Not named JMM or Pacquiao) who is likely a HOFer but its obvious we wont see it, and Timmy knows it himself which is why he doesnt bother talking about it.

                Bob Arum.

                The man who makes you sign the next 4 years of your life away the moment he presents you with a big fight. Bradley agreeing to fight Pacquiao dimished his chances of ever landing a Floyd fight.

                  Yes, but he's with Arum/HBO. Not lucrative enough to go through that BS again.

                    I'm not too sure who I want Floyd to fight but i'm 100% sure Who I don't want him to fight and that is Amir Khan.

                    Thurman, Porter, Brook would do it for me. But like I said idk, nobody is really dominating. Brook's win over Porter has been the best ww win. Thurman's win over Guerrero goes second.

                      Bradley obviously deserves it as much or more than the likes of Khan, Thurman, Brook, Porter, etc. but we can't even entertain the idea thanks to some bull**** promotional beef

                      I was debating with some dude earlier on **** exactly like this, he was saying that we (boxing fans in general) complain too much, but how many professional sports are out there that have whack ass **** like this hovering over the sport that completely wipes out the prospect of potential matchups...because a couple of guys don't get along

                      only in boxing
