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.
Anyone else feel bad for Bradley?

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 itComment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment
