i would rather see rios bradley as well

[Mick Higgs]

Well I'd rather see Bradley/Brook, but I can't see it happening.

Saddam has earned his shot...this is BS

Who did HBO spend so much money on, I only remember Bud, Ginger and GGG fighting this year on HBO.

This is all Haymon fault

Sounds like BS. It's not like Ali is some unknown fighter or a fighter HBO doesn't work with. He is a highly touted prospect who has been prominently featured on HBO his last two fights against lesser know fighters and put on a good show in each of those fights. If HBO was interested in those fights why wouldn't they now be interested in a fight with Bradley? This is more about Rios being a easier fight and a smaller opponent for Bradley. Ali is undefeated, more skilled and a tougher fight. He earned his title shot and should get it now. What has Rios done at 147?

The championship experience of Bradley would be too much for Ali the same way it was for Vargas. Both of those guys are solid, but Bradley is cut from a different cloth. Ali should have to fight Vargas to get a shot at Tim. Tim has earned the right to fight the top guys at 147. I'm hoping he will demand Arum to make those fights even though most are with Haymon. If not, I can see Tim losing to a lesser fighter from Top Rank simply for not being able to get up for a lesser caliber opponent.

HBO cut back on they budget significantly that's why triple G Lemieux fight HBO ppv so they won't have to foot most of charges and don't have any fights lined up until oct to start showing again

I feel bad for Ali.
-Can't get Bradley because he's not TR( Bob's not even hiding that)
-Can't get Thurman,Porter,Khan, Garcia etc because he's GB
-Can't get Brook because he's not a mandatory and too dangerous

He's in a bad way I mean maybe Canelo down the line but Nelo is to big for him now.

Not at all interested in Bradley vs Rios. That fight is too predictable. Rios only fights 1 way. I'd like to see Bradley in there with someone like Brook or Khan.
