    The man got old. Can't knock him for that. Had a great career.

    Let him get one more big-money fight and he'll retire. I'd love to see a Cotto fight or a Thurman fight.

      Bradley hits me as the type of guy who really, really believes that if you can't be the best at what you do, you shouldn't be doing it. I think it really got to him knowing that some (perhaps most) thought he didn't beat Pac the first time, and then losing to him two subsequent times, especially the last time when he wasn't battling any injuries and was completely outclassed.

      I haven't heard that he's retiring, but I don't think his heart is in it like it was in the past.

        He made loads of money and got fat.

        With his wife taking over as manager I think he is well set up and he doesn't need to do it anymore. He'll fight someone like Cotto for a big payday, but he's done with being a regular working fighter it seems.

              This. Great synopsis.

              I think Bradley isn't retired, but just waiting for a fight he deems worthy of his time.

              Like you said - he's either gonna go 100%, or not go at all.

              I think he's waiting to see if a fight against somebody like Canelo (I think this would be a bad idea, doe), or Cotto (I think Bradley wins this fight, no matter what the weight is) comes about.

              Maybe a fight against Thurman - but I don't know if the money is there for him.

              He's used to making 5 million a fight. The least he's fought for in the past five years is 2 million on regular HBO.

                I don't think their own families would watch that.

                  He isn't retired but much of his desire to fight seems to be gone. He has made many big paydays and he is careful with his money. He never even left that dessert hell hole he lives in. He probably has enough money invested to live very comfortably for the rest of his life. He no longer needs to fight for money. His fights are often the kind of grueling fights that take something out of a fighter. I'd say he is past prime. I think he will fight a few more times and then retire.
