Everybody is Gunning for the Top Except for Tim Bradley

[-PBP-]

Khan vs. Pacquiao
Spence vs. Brook
Thurman def. Garcia
Peterson is mando to Thurman

Berto and Porter are fighting to put themselves back in title contention.

It's an exciting time for the welterweight division and Tim Bradley is not involved. It seems like he is just a part time fighter trying to cash out against a big name like Canelo, Cotto or GGG. He built his legacy by fighting most of the top contenders at 140. But since he's moved to 147 his most notable moments are a robbery victory over Pacquiao, a draw with Chaves, going life and death with Ruslan, beating Vargas despite a scary ending and a career defining win over Marquez.

He has no legit wins over top 10 welterweights (Vargas was ranked after the fact when he beat Ali)

I've always been a Bradley guy but it's a shame not to see him in the mix to become a top welterweight. He has never reigned king of a division despite an impressive resume. I once thought he would have a great boxing legacy filled with great accomplishments. Now it seems like it's a career of what ifs.

Bradley has already proven himself against the best, not sure if he needs to prove himself anymore

The guy has wins over:
Dethroning witter in the UK
Undefeated Peterson
Undefeated abregu
Undefeated Alexander
Manny (albeit controversially)
Marquez
Vargas
ruslan

Champ in 2 different weight classes,,, 99% of pro boxers will never accomplish what Bradley has done


Bradley is on the back half of his career, has an established name, and should be looking for big time lucrative fights to finish out his career.. no need to fight young lions and BS eliminators, worrying about rankings.. dude should be focused on getting $$$ fights vs guys like cotto, khan, canelo, etc.... and then call it a career

Pretty sure pac khan is a money grab for pac but i agree with you. I think hes better than the other young wws but he have to prove it in the ring. Bradley thurman would of been a good fight.

bradley is drunk as we speak feeding his cow pork chop #7 of the day

I'd rather see fans focus on the 135, 140 and 154 divisions. Fans have yet to see big fights coming out of these dormant divisions.

That's because Bradley is done. You and everyone else should know this.

Arum will most likely agree to Bradley vs Broner.

How is fighting Khan going for the damn top????

Tim is on his way to retirement...let the guy find a nice cherry and retire...he's payed his dues.

He trying to make a Cotto fight.

At 33 yrs old and never being a big puncher Tim is wise to finish his career staying away from the young lions on the move up. He has been in a few wars and always gives a good account of himself. Tough guy and a sneaky fighter too he's done very well.
One maybe two more and call it a career, Chris Algerri would make a good opponent in a ten round semi to a big main go!
