    I don't feel bad for him, I feel bad for us fans of his who don't get to see him in some great fights with the rest of the division.

      Well he needs to get working on getting those fights done. What's stopping him? He isn't tied to any network.

        Why would I feel bad for a multi millionaire who's performed on some of the bigger ppvs in boxing?

          I just don't get it and i wish someone would enlighten me on why Bradley is so beloved and considered a top 5 welterweight in here?

          Last time i checked he has arguably lost to Pac twice and is headed towards a non sense third fight against him, went life and death with carreer 140er Ruslan, draw with Diego chaves, defeated c level non ranked 147ers brendon rio and jesse vergas. oh and he also defeated a shot to pieces Casamayor.

          Ok, he did beat Marquez and an undefeated Potro Abregu i give you that, but that was years ago...what has Bradley done recently? what i am missing? did he beat Manny convincingly? did he fight Kell Brook? did he fight Crawford? what is it that he is doing to be so criticallly acclaimed in here? i just dont see it

            You're assuming that those PBC chumps would actually fight Bradley. I don't think they would.

              He's tied to TR who doesn't work with Haymon unless its a Mayweather-Pacquiao magnitude fight. If he tries to leave, he'll be on the shelf for 2 years like Mikey Garcia.

                Overall/up to this point I think the TR deal has been a good one for Bradley. Some not-so-great fights in there but the same is true of any boxer of the last 5 years. After the next fight though he will have basically already faced every worthwhile TR/HBO guy I can think of and so then would be a good time to move on, though I don't expect that to happen.

                As a fan, knowing for sure that we won't see him against Thurman, Porter, Spence, Garcia is a real shame. Bradley has that determined mentality where he'd push for the toughest fights in a way most fighters don't, so you know he'd be gunning for those guys if he at PBC.

                After April he could still face Brook which would be a great matchup. Sad fact is though Brook would probably find a reason to not take the fight. The Ali-Vargas winner is also waiting and would deserve a shot so I don't feel sad for him. He's already had a very good career and is about to get another shot at Pac.

                    He doesn't have to leave. He can tell his manager to work with his promoter to make a fight. Shafikov is a TR fighter and just fought on a PBC card.
