    Why is Tim not interested in fighting Haymon's guys? This would be a good fight, too bad Tim doesn't want to challenge himself outside of Bob's stable

      He's making more with TR than he would with Haymon. He beats them all anyway

        I voted for Bradley.
        Thurman is fighting scared, not only is he fighting scared but he's fighting scared agaisnt C level opponents.
        Bradley is proven elite. Thurman is not, and will most probably get beaten by porter. Which is kind of strange considering his talent.

        It's more of a mental thing, As he overthink's alot, he obviously has thought to himself ' if im getting hurt and rocked by collazo /soto karass....what are the elite of the division going to do to me? i need to box on the back foot from now on'

          I'm not sure he does beat them all. I think him and Thurman is a 50/50 fight. I think Bradley and Porter would probably be one of the ugliest brawls ever. You don't get points for fantasy fights, you have to beat these guys in the ring. Tim is a real good fighter, but for crying out loud his best wins at welterweight are Jesse Vargas and Brandon Rios. His welterweight resume just isn't that good. Unless you want to act as if his win over Manny wasn't a robbery

            And Thurmans best win is against whom?

              Top Rank has, time and time again, done nothing but right by Bradley. Got him his first million dollar payday, got him the Pacquiao fight as promised, the Marquez fight, and has continued to get him good fights with solid paydays since signing him.

              I think Bradley is pretty much going to stay with Top Rank until he retires unless some insane opportunity presents itself.

                I dont trust Thurman mentally......he gets too defensive too quick and start running around the ring....

                Not jabbing or trying to set things up.....just circling around killing time

                  Collazo and Guererro. Neither one of those guys have a great WW resume, I never said Thurman's was stellar. I said these guys need to fight one another. I don't see how you didn't get that.

                    Bradley is tested. Thurman is not.
