    Didn't mean height wise or arm length. He's blown up to close to 200lbs between fights and he's not exactly the least disciplined guy. Don't get me wrong, Floyd is no push over and the only guys I've ever seen push him back weigh 160 on fight night like Maidana or Guerrero, but Bradley falls under that same category and that's exactly what he does against guys who box better than he does.

      Guerrero pushed Mayweather? That fight was a highlight for Floyd's right hands. I think I gave Ghost 1 round and that was because I was feeling sorry for him. The guys who gave Mayweather trouble were great pressure fighters (Castillo, Maidana) the guys who did a bit of boxing a bit of brawling got schooled every time (Mosley, Cotto, Guerrero, Canelo etc). Bradley falls right into that category, only difference is he had less power than all those guys so he really would've had very little to no shot to win. He could've pursued the fight, but chose not to and signed with Arum.

          Always enjoyed Tim's fights, still thought he deserved the win in the first Manny fight, one of the few smart fighters to get out of the game in their prime. Respect.

              Come on dude. That's ridiculous. Tim clearly didn't want to fight Floyd and showed that by signing with TR. To pretend this was Floyd avoiding him makes no sense unless you have some weird agenda.

                  Floyd would have toyed Bradley for 12 rounds. Not at any time would Floyd be troubled in that fight.

                    Yep, those 3 fights combined brought home around 10-13 mil!

                      I'm not sure this is relevant to the post you quoted and responded to.
