Bradley has consistently shown himself to be one of the best welterweights around so it's worth seeing. I don't know if it's a 'must see' fight, probably not. But it's interesting.
Make Mayweather v Bradley!

Bradley deserves to at least be in the conversation I'd think. I'm surprised at how much talk about May's next opponent has left Bradley almost completely out.
Someone claimed this would be the best fight for his resume... I'm not so sure. Brook offers a unification bout, Cotto offers lineal MW.. but for sure Bradley is one of the few good opponents. Of course May still wins that fight easy, but there are almost no fights that we think he'd struggle in at this point.Comment

LOL! Jokes..
And Pacquiao doesn't come to fight? Maidana?
Just stop. Tim Bradley would get hit non stop by Floyd. Fun fight tho.Comment

Sounds like a good fight, would be a great opponent for a farewell fight and to go out on a high, Tim is a good name to have on your resume and it's probably a good style matchup for Floyd, so to Mayweather it would probably be the perfect choice.Bradley just out worked and out strengthed Vargas, Bradley at times showed he could also move and jab, which is how he won the JMM fight by such wide margins in the eyes of most. Out of all the welterweights not named May or Pac, he is probably the most versatile of the remaining guys. Without a doubt the most accomplished too.
So, if you have the two leading welterweights, shouldn't they be fighting? Forget Brook and Khan (Thurman isn't even an after thought lol). It's not just Bradley's career but also the fact that he always maintains his hunger and will not try and coast to a pay day or try and survive. Bradley can look at 5 million dollars in his bank account and still fight like a starving man.
This is the must fight in the division.
It won't happen though because Bradley is with TR.Comment

Who are these top WW's Bradley beat i keep hearing about? Pacquiao and JMM weren't real WW's, Provodnikov and Vargas were JWW's that moved up for Bradley.Comment

"Can't quite remember the last time Floyd fought a legitimate threat. I'd be impressed if Floyd v Khan happens."
I would as well. I don't think Khan is good enough though. Manny would KO him and Floyd would win an easy decision. Bradley is better than Khan. He's tougher and actually WINS fights he's supposed to. Floyd may have gotten an undeserved decision on May 2nd, but the people cannot wait for him to leave the sport. They won't be fooled by his antics again. Floyd is a paper champion. He's not like the ATGs of yester year. He had a chance to cement true greatness on May 2nd. Instead he ran, held, tried to pot shot his way to a "business" decision. Smh.
S8 HATER-NATION!
You're mad because Floyd won't put himself at risk in the fashion YOU want him to. You got the game messed up son.
Floyd did exactly what he was supposed to on May 2nd. Win the fight. PERIOD!
Whoever doesn't like that... has LOSER'S MENTALITY.Comment

What?????
I'm confused by your response? Who is talking about Manny or Maidana? The only reason Floyd took the rematch with Maidana is because he was embarrassed in the first fight. He was FORCED to fight him again to avoid public humiliation. Manny won the fight despite the bogus views from judges, ref, and commentators. He deserves a rematch also. Do you think Floyd will fight him again? Because I don't. Take away Floyd's illegal tactics, Vegas, home judges, add a neutral ref, and a Manny with 2wo good hands, and he'd win AGAIN!Comment

Bradley would only win the rounds that Floyd takes off.
Maybe not even those.
No i dont wanna see this fight.Comment

Funny.......
Says the guy who has Roy Jones as his Avatar. Shaking my head. Floyd is a coward and a paper champion and now the entire world knows it. His fighting style is cringe worthy and his defense is overrated as well. He's a HOF'mer but no ATG. His best win remains Chico. He doesn't have a prime win on his resume, which is full of B Level opponents. Why are you mad at me for telling the truth? You should be mad at the way your hero fights. He talks all that **** and doesn't fight like a true champion. And now no one wants to EVER see him fight again. So, You're the MAD one, kid. I just call it like I see it. And like Manny said, "he didn't do nothing." I wonder if Floyd still thinks Manny is on roids after being rocked. Hahaha!!!!!! He fought scared!Comment

I counted at least 10 excuses in your post. I bet you consider yourself "objective" towards Floyd, don't you? SMHI'm confused by your response? Who is talking about Manny or Maidana?

I brought Pac/Maidana in the discussion because you inferred that Floyd is afraid to fight Bradley because Bradley "comes to fight". Understand now?
You say Floyd was FORCED to fight Pacquiao and Maidana to avoid public humiliation. Yet, Floyd's record against them is 3-0. So much for only fighting them to avoid public humiliation.
Why you mad at Mayweather?
You should respect the hustle and the skill. He's consistently fought and OWNED every top dog in or near his division.
What other boxer can you say that about? He fights at the HIGHEST LEVEL the sport has to offer, and he keeps winning with his "gay style". If having elite defense, outstanding footwork, hall of fame stamina, uncanny offensive accuracy, etc... is GAY then why can't anyone conquer his "gay" style?
Shouldn't a "gay" style be WEAK? How are all these "alpha hetero male" boxers letting a "gay style" dominate them for almost two decades? How do you allow a "gay style" to earn the most money by any athlete in a calendar year?
Please explain.Comment
