    Did Tim Bradley retire?

    Approaching a year since his last fight and I've heard nothing about a potential fight. After Cotto-Kirkland was cancelled a couple people threw his name out there as a possible opponent but we see Cotto is back talking about Marquez. There was a little buzz about a possible Porter fight but that died down just as quick as it was mentioned. The WBC asked Top Rank to inquire if Bradley was interested in fighting Spence for an eliminator. Haven't heard anything about that since it was announced. What's out there for Bradley? A Vargas rematch? He and Crawford have already said they won't fight each other.

    He's busy.



    Boxer Timothy Bradley Jr. Turns His Attention To Coaching High School Football

    Bradley understands the football season may extend into December, so he’s told his promoter he won’t be ready for another fight until early 2017.

    Possible opponents include unbeaten welterweight champions Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman and respected contenders Shawn Porter and Amir Khan.

    “Let my body rest, be out here to enjoy these guys and fight early next year,” Bradley said. “It doesn’t matter who. I’ve only lost to Pacquiao. So I think I can win all of them.”

          Arum's keeping him rusty for Crawford's 147 debut.

            They said they will never fight each other

            That article says he'll be ready to fight early 2017. It's early 2017 and he doesn't have an opponent or talks of an upcoming fight. Loma and Crawford already got their dates

              He's at the point in his career where he will only fight if the payoff is worth it.

                Timmy made close to 20 million I think... 3 pac fights, JMM fight, provodnikov/vargas/chaves fights paid him a fair rate surely,...Timmy is laughing and enjoying his break. Would love to see how he fares against those Haymon boxers.

                  Interesting thread, ive been thinking the same thing. Ever since that provo fight timmy hasn't reacted the same to punches imo. Honestly i think he's being manipulated away from boxing by his manager/secretary/babymama. She wears the pants and makes his career moves. True story.

                    Arum Style. Love to see him against a legit Welterweight.
