    Or how about Bradley vs Diego Chavez?


    I think Bob knows Bradley's punch resistance is diminished and that Ali has a very good shot at beating Tim. I'm happy to see Bradley/Rios before Ali gets his shot, as Ali by own admission could use a little more seasoning. The downside is, given TR's history, we'll probably get Bradley/Rios 2-3x with Ali fighting for a vacant title in another 6 months.

      Sad.

        Indeed. One of the most meaningless fight with a guy that was getting a whole bunch a gifts. Ali has fought his way to contention with no drama

          if bob was willing to work with hearn with rios and chaves, why not bradley? it's his only chance at unification. the only rios fight i'm interested in any more is against provodnikov

            Bradley vs Ali is a good fight, that being said I don't have that much of a problem with Bradley vs Rios happening first, Ali could benefit from more experience and exposure before he steps up. Still a ****** thing for Arum to say.

              If he can't sell it to HBO now, then what would make it any different in 2016 if both win their fights?

              Looks like Arum wants to just carry Bradley as long as he can with that title that is technically Floyd's. I wish Tim could just break off the contract and try to get on Haymon to fight the likes of Khan, Garcia, Peterson, Porter, and Thurman.

                    This proves all along that Bob is willing to work with other promoters-

                    How many posters were saying that recently when Bob was namedropping BrookBradley, BrookRios, RiosProvo?
