    I think Bradley is pretty much going to stay with Top Rank until he retires unless some insane opportunity presents itself.
    I'm not saying Top Rank hasn't gotten Bradley paid, good for him. I also don't think he should leave them as they have been good to him. But c'mon son, why is nobody interested in seeing him fight everyone else? The guy said he doesn't care about fighting the other welterweights in the division and he just gets a pass? Arum seems to be warming up to doing business with Haymon, but he flip flops everyday with that. So if there is the possibility to make those fights are you not interested in seeing them?

        Very good fight, I'd slightly lean towards Thurman

          I'd like it and I would have Bradley by dec. But I'd rather see Tim against Khan or Cotto

            Are we going to not count the Marquez win?

              Forgot about the Marquez win. So 1 good win at welterweight. But you don't want to see him fight the other welterweights in the division? For crying out loud he could at least go after Brook since Brook isn't with Haymon.

              This isn't to diss Bradley cause I like him. My question is why are fans satisfied with hypothetical wins? Why do the other welterweights have to fight one another (while Bradley who is considered one of the best welterweights) and Bradley just gets to sit there and kick it cause he fought Manny Pacquiao and lost 3 times?

              Bradley is proven at junior welter. But one good win at 147 isn't anything to hang your hat on. Fight the other fighters. Or at least pretend like you want to.

                  Ok I want to see him fight the other top WW's too. Brook is possible.

                  Who the hell is Thurman fighting? Still that Marquez win > anything Thurman has done at WW.


                  Guerrero. Lol.

                    I agree Bradley's win over Marquez is better than any on Thurman's resume. So does that excuse him for not wanting to fight anyone else?

                    Thurman is fighting Porter next. These guys are going to be fighting one another cause that's what you should do is fight the other top competition in your division. So we'll just hold every other welterweight to that standard and give Tim a pass. SMH

                      Tim would love to get in the ring with any of Haymons WW's. Lets not act like Haymon and Arum want to do business.


                      Haymon has all of these WW's yet Thurman has fought nobody.
