    He isn't top of his game... 08-2012 was bradleys peak... when he was dominating guys like Peterson and Devon.. not when he was almost getting stopped by Vargas and ruslan..

      He did beat Cháves. Draw was wrong. And the only reason it was closer than it was..was because of headbutts and the nasty swollen eye. Cháves was fighting a bit dirty. Even then, I had it 116-112 Bradley.

      Back to the topic, Bradley doesn't seem that hungry anymore,... he's made a lot of cash... and his wife probably manages those finances well.

        I believe he has the skills to beat the thurmans and Garcias of this world, he looked good with Teddy Atlas even tho he lost against Pacquiao

          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
          witter, abregu and vargas ?
          devon and peterson....ok
          we dont accept gifts
          ruslan and jmm ''good'' wins

          all those muscles and hes shooting blanks....hes a nice enough guy who comes to fight but....meh.i can see him beating the winner of the berto/porter fight. maybe some other c level guy.

          timmy vs khan would be interesting. id rather see broner vs khan though.

            He's a retired fighter in my mind.

              bradley took hellish punishment in the provodnikov fight. pacquiao fights, too. he's made a ton of money and he doesnt' need to fightnay more. if he's offered big fights on PPV he might take it, but what fights are there really for him on ppv? pacquiao 4 ? arum has a small stable at this point, and the fights just aren't there. bradley's also showed signs of deteriorating, and he knows it. he was really out of it after the provodnikov fight by all accounts. joel diaz, who was seemingly fired by bradley's manager / wife, said he was ready to cancel the marquez fight until tim turned a corner in sparring and stopped getting beat up.


              they guy has been on TV in big fights for almost decade. he's got plenty of money, and he's taken a ton of punishment in sparring and in his fights. if he can't get cotto, marquez, pacquiao, etc in there on ppv he's probably not going to decide to fight again.
