    Is Anyone Else Somewhat Intrigued by Bradley vs Canelo?

    This is a fight I would've never thought about. I'll admit it's a weird fight with no relevance to rankings but after thinking about it I'm somewhat interested.

    I know the critics will be saying "Bradley has no power, Canelo has power, power, power power!!!!!" but I look at it a little closer than that.

    Bradley has quick hands and feet and can get in and out very fast. He's versatile and has a good workrate, stamina and recovery to where he will have advantages in the later rounds.

    My biggest concern is that he hasn't looked great lately, have no idea what Atlas is doing with him and yes: his size and POWER!!! disadvantage. But I still think he is skilled enough to make this an entertaining back and forth fight that would be worth watching.

    Your thoughts?

    No. Charlo's, Boo Boo and all the other young, fresh and hungry jr middleweights about. And lets not forget the elephant in the room the (real) middleweight champ.

          Let's at least be realistic and not live in wonderland. GBP has a trillion dollar lawsuit against Haymon and PBC. Those fights are not happening.

            Lets do get realistic. Tim Bradley is small, even for a welterweight. He hasn't looked good lately and it isn't smart to start counting eggs before they hatch. The fight is about as unrealistic as it gets. I don't do lawsuits. But jr middleweights fight jr middleweights. And some that move up, well they fight the middleweight champion.

            Realistic and wonderland? Bradley Canelo doe!

              He's not fighting anyone on PBC with lawsuits pending. There's no debate whether you accept it or not.

                Those network/promotional politics are real things that exist.
                Canelo vs Bradley is probably more realistic possibility because they both can fight on HBO.
                Canelo can't make JMW and doesn't want any part of GGG
                TB is probably dumb enough to do it.

                It's still a **** fight.

                    i think andrade is a free agent. he burnt his bridges with roc nation and top rank and despite virtually begging for haymon to sign him there has been no news on that front that i am aware of
