    And no he can't beat Lara head to head but styles don't earn fights. Resumes do. And Lara laid an egg on the biggest stage of his career against Canelo while Bradley has beaten undefeated world champions, and has a win over Marquez who was come off one of the biggest wins of this era.
    Thats a fair call I suppose, and Bradley has been on the big stage before.

    I'm not bashing Mayweather or anything.

    Its just that I would like to see him challenged, and Lara is the man for that.

    Mayweather can fight a lesser opponent, and say that he deserves a showcase fight, and he could even be right..... but I wont be buying the fight.

    If he wants to get paid, he needs to pick a challenging opponent.

    Fcuk paying $100 for a blowout.

    Personally, I knew that Pacquiao was overrated, he was definitely not the best possible opponent for Mayweather, and neither was Maidana 2x.

    Canelo was the last real challenge for Mayweather.

    I want to see if Lara can stay with 40yo Mayweather for 12.

      Nothing but the truth.

        Yep, I dont give Bradley a chance.

        The thing is this..... why I have been so vocal about the undeserving welters Porter/Thurman/Khan/Brook..... is not just the fact that nobody pushed for 2 good back-to-back wins except Porter (who lost)..... and its not just the fact that Khan/Brook had opportunities to select world-class opponents (but did not)..... its that none of them can beat Mayweather, so why should an undeserving opponent get a payday..... Lara has tougher wins, and is a genuine 154lb'er with a challenging style.

        Mayweather is a great fighter, I'm not trying to bash him, but I dont see why I should pay for Brook/Thurman/Khan to get an undeserved payday, just so that Mayweather can take an easy retirement fight.

        Fight Lara, or at least Cotto.

        I am a Cotto fan, but the reason why I prefer Lara is that he has a more complicated style than Cotto, and I dont want Mayweather to get a cheap MW strap and then retire.

          Lara? What's his best win or what has he ever done in the sport of boxing?

          Cotto? For beating a cripple at 160 and losing to Floyd 9-3?

          Give me Porter, Bradley, Brook or Thurman over those two guys anyday.
          I dont know what to say.

            '

            Instead of triple duck trying to fight a ww he should move up and fight a fighter who will be closer to his weight do I need to say his name? You know who will pick the bum eater apart. Do I need to say his name?

            Loeffler seems to not have paid his phone bill whenever it comes to this fighter. But Canelo, Cotto, etc he is always on the phone trying to make fights happen. But for some reason when it's Lara or the beast that ALL triple duck fans don't want to see it's about money! I find that confusing when that will be his biggest pay day moving up and getting exposed by you know who!! LMAO but triple duck will fight a certified bum next and his bum ass dyck riding fans will like it. But Lara and the beast above him aren't a bigger draw? Yeah get the phuck outta here

              Bradley is a good fighter but isn't a big draw..so that rules him out of the mayweather sweepstakes

                nothing you said is untrue, however his body of work until right now at welterweight warrants him a shot at Mayweather over any other WW

                just my opinion

                i also dont wanna see the fight because tim can't beat floyd, nobody at 140-147 can, lara would be a stylistic nightmare for floyd and that's one of a few reasons why that fight will never ever ever happen

                  GGG was never "trying to fight a WW", stop talking **** dude.

                  he never called out floyd, he said he would fight him at 154, but he hasn't called the dude out

                  you know who did? hopkins, yeah that dude.

                    Floyd picks his opponents extremely well

                    Expect a salka type opponent for his next fightt

                      Why would Showtime pay for Bradley, if they would NOT have to pay for Khan or Thurman. I think Khan is a better fighter than Bradley, and he has bigger following than any fighter at WW, other than Manny Pacquiao. Brook is too high-risk, low reward, and IMO, Brook and Thurman did themselves no favors by not facing each other. Winner=Khan.
