    Is Bradley unofficially retired?

    I haven't heard much from his camp other than the fact that his wife/manager is managing other fighters, etc. I'd love to see him go up against, Thurman, Garcia, Brook, etc. It's a damn shame that he's hiding behind Bob Arum and not willing to go up against non TR fighters. He can easily fight Terrace Crawford, but he's using a buddy-buddy tactic to duck him. I'm sure TC would fight him in a heartbeat, but it seems that Bradley has lost his hunger and is satisfied with what he has achieved in the sport.

    He's not fighting TC because they are like family.

    He's just fighting part time only for the big money fights.

      Yeah, it sucks man. It's looking like he is ready for retirement unless he gets a PPV type fight. He's invested his winnings though so I'd imagine that there is no need for him to fight on if he doesn't want to at this point. Not happy about it and I wish he would fight at least 2 or 3 more times, but I don't see it happening.

        I still watch Bradley vs Provodnikov almost on a weekly basis(it's that entertaining to me). A fight Thurman would definitely bring out that wild aggressive Bradley who fought Provodnikov. I can picture Thurman landing one of his overhand bomb on Bradley and Bradley goes ape**** and swings for the fences.

          He made a lot of money and kept it in-house as much as he can (him and his wife). The Pac trilogy left his pockets fat, he's not a big money spender, isn't in the limelight, so those millions will last him 2-3 lifetimes. I can't understand what having a million dollars is but I can imagine how it can change some pro boxers and make them lazy/uninspired like Maidana and Bradley.

            Porter vs Bradley would be a great fight. Straight up Dog fight.

              I'd love to see a Bradley-Thurman fight. But Pac-Bradley 4 is most likely to happen first.

                Might as well be. That ship sailed in 2014.

                  Bradley is a drunk, he was already spiraling down he blessed he had the opportunity to make some big paydays before his alcoholic ways took over.

                  him and tc making a pact not to fight each other is coward shit, these dude never met each other ever in life after 1 sparring the ***** in both of them came out and they made a pact not to fight each other cause they both think they will lose to the other lmfao.

                    He doesn't need to fight Crawford.. last I checked Crawford still crusading at 140 he's not even in the discussion.
