    Not really. I want Bradley vs. Brook next.

    Bradley has no real business above 147. Let alone above 154 which is where Canelo now fights.

        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?

        Did you see Bradley's face after the Chaves and Vargas fights? What do you think his face would look like after he fights Canelo?

          He has the fan bases to make any fight he wants. Instead of choosing names and bringing them up or down, he could create one of the strongest resumes we've seen in some time.
          Honest question Dunn, do you believe that Haymon will allow his fighters to go to hbo and fight canelo, if canelo ask for any of them??

            Yes. Canelo will be the biggest payday for anyone so its in Haymon's best interest. One caveat, not anywhere in Texas.

            DO you think ODH will allow Canelo to fight the best guys at 154/160 if they are with Haymon?

              Hell no I guarantee you Bumley will fold faster than Lopez did.

                i dont know about oscar, but if its worth like maybe one of the real titles on the line or something i think canelo will not hesitate, and he can convince oscar if the fights are worth... i would love to see the fights with j-rock, charlo and maybe lara rematch, also the andrade fight which i believe will be next if canelo decides to stay at jmw after beating cotto...

                  I hope Canelo chooses to fight the toughest fights. I think he could really lift the sport in doing so. He could have a resume deeper than Leonard's, maybe not as top heavy, but definitely deeper.

                    No thanks. Timbo too small and probably past prime at this point. Canelo would starch him. Timbo should be fighting top welterweights

                      Even with Bradley's lack of power, it's a high risk vs low reward fight for Canelo.
