WBO interim-welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (31-1-1, 12KOs) has no interest in a rematch with Jessie Vargas (26-1, 9KOs), but he does have interest in a fight with WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith Thurman (25-0, 21KOs).

Bradley won a twelve round unanimous decision over Vargas on Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Thurman is back in a few weeks, headlining against Luis Collazo as part of the debut edition of Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN.

I like the spirit TB brings to the table, if only we didn't have so many political issues between all the promoters, managers and networks. I believe more than anything, that this is the reason we will never see many potential match-ups.

Boxing needs an organizational authority with enough muscle to override all these petty road-blocks.

Arum loves to use Bradley as the sacrificial lamb. First it was Chaves then Vargas, and now it's Ali. Tim deserves better. He needs to try and get Brook or Khan. I know the PBC guys are unrealistic.

Conventional wisdom would suggest this fight can't happen but I'd take Bradley by decision in a great brawl.

Before these last few fights I would've given Tim more credit, but I'm starting to think his chin isn't what it used to be.

I got Thurman in this by wide UD if not a KO. I see Tim going down a few times to widen the scorecards.

Tim will hustle and put in work, so if he doesn't go down then he has a chance at winning.

I just think Keith is too big and too good.

As much as I feel that Bradley is overrated, Arum should give him a shot at Brook!

No way does Bradley have a chance no matter how disciplined he tries to fight, and he'll be forced into a dog fight against Thurman whether he likes it or not. Also, Thurman is bigger and stronger than Marquez and Manny who aren't even real welterweights. I like both guys but I think this is a horrible style match up for Tim and he's lucky the politics are there to block this fight. I see Tim hitting the canvas numerous times and getting hurt, Thurman would shine in this fight.

Tim finna beat that ass

I doubt Thurman takes a chance vs Tim in a bout that gets neither nothing...

What do you mean "gets neither nothing".

Both are pretty well-known guys. I think it would be huge for both guys.

Much disrespect for Bradley's talent. The boy brings it and leaves it all there.
