    Thinking of all the poor positions I've seen Bradly throwing punches out of in the past makes it virtually impossible to envision him putting up any fight against Floyd. He'll always be a great fighter to watch against guys like Provodnikov and Rios (I'd like to see him fight Lucas Matthysse)
    but IMO stepping up in class to fight guys like Mayweather and Canelo is not good for his career. He got away with existing in the conversation with A+ fighters for beating Pacquiao, when he didn't beat Pacquiao, but I probably wouldn't be able to put him on that level.

    Still a great fighter to watch though. If he takes a shot at Canelo or Floyd who could fault him for pushing his line? Under the tutelage of Teddy Atlas last night he did look like a better boxer than any service of my memory can render of him previously.
    Yea, the Marquez fight was definitely a better win.

    Neither Rios or Marquez are welters.

            That jMM win gets super overrated, dude got a split decision off an old man.

            JMM landed more power punches on Bradley

              Would be amazing stuff if Floyd came back and went 50-0 against Bradley.

                That fight would prob be exciting since Tim wouldn't hurt Floyd. Too bad it never happened

                  I didn't see anything on Saturday night to tell me Bradley has even a slight chance to beat Mayweather. He maybe fading but he's still better than all other WWs out there and besides, he's retired so it's a little late to call him out, Teddy.

                      Why are they talking about Floyd? He's retired.
