    the point is, Bob Arum will do whatever suits Bob Arum

    he absolutely WILL 100% protect his fighters, when it suits him

    he had done it many times, Pac wasn't the first
    pac was protected? LOL..

    see canelo alvarez for an example.

    pac went life and death with marquez.

    arum also threw pac in with marg, a fight that does nothing but hurt pac's health, etc. how is he protecting manny again?

    take a look at pac vs bradley 1. didnt a lot of you said arum was behind it and robbed pac? so how is he protecting manny again?

      i was pointing out that bradley has a better resume than those other guys over there.

      but, who cares ?

      It's not like he's an ATG or anything..... so who cares if Bradley has a better resume than guys who are largely untested?

      historians will not attempt to compare Bradley to "those other guys"..... they will attempt to compare him to truly great fighters, greats who have a MUCH better resume than "those other guys".

      I am a Bradley fan, he is a terrific fighter..... but in terms of legacy, Tim still has some work to do..... so when Bradley confirmed that due to "boxing politics" it is highly unlikely that he will face the top welters at 147, he lost a lot of public interest imho.

        Yep, he sure was LMAO

        I am not interested in debating with a pacfan who refuses to see the obvious.

        Been laughing at you guys for the last 5 years, so I don't intend to join you now.

        Lets agree to disagree.

            Really how so? All Tim needs is a alphabet belt at 154 and hes 1st ballot HOF imo... He doesnt need anything that PBC has to offer, anything on that side of the fence is a step backwards.

              At this point I feel like TR has taken Bradley as far as he can go. They don't have anyone in their stable left for him to fight. He's not fight Bud either, already said as much.

                  C'mon man, Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Erol Spence, do nothing for Tim at this point of his career. Sure itd be a good win BUT Tim Bradley has 2 wins against great fighters at WW in Marquez and Pacquiao. Theres only 1 fighter I know that has W's next to those names. Besides Tim already beat those so called "other guys" at 140 when he was unified champ. I do agree with you that he needs a lil more to prove though but he is 1st ballot HOF if he can pick up an alphabet belt at 154 and it doesnt even need to be a big name hes guaranteed induction,...

                    Canelo will vacate that belt right after he gets it, and you already know the WBO are incahoots with TR. I see Bradley fighting for a vacant WBO 154 title by next summer at least the interim title...

                      I never thought about that but what's so bad about Tim vs canelo? It probably sell better than Canelo vs any 154 lbers or Tim vs any 154 champ.

                      He probably won't have any fights against 147s though but western champ does have a good point. All haymon guys barely fight each other so signing under haymon won't even guarantee he'll get those fight. Porter seems to be the only one getting those other fighters in the ring.
