    Why Timmeh Didn’t Push For Mayweather Fight

    This man credentials made him worthy of a Floyd fight and Loved matches for cash

    But He didn’t try for a Floyd fight

    Timmeh was still young when he retired and already faced manny. Why not gun for a Mayweather fight also

    This was back when the Floyd vs Top Rank died was at an all time high...

    Also timing was kinda crap

    When he won Floyd was in jail then he had a Mando then Canelo then Bradley lost it in the rematch.

        Why would he when he got to fight pac 3 times? Why call out a guy that was tied up with Haymon fighters?

          He chose to re-sign. In his defense he got fights with Marquez n Pac and good paydays.

          But after the 3rd Pac fight he pretty much wasted his career fighting unranked guys

              Fraudweather didn't fight Arum fighters. He would not do business with Arum.

              Translation: Haymon can rig or buy off non Arum patsies easier.

              Bradley would have beaten Floyd in a real fight anyway. Thus why he was ducked. Floyd got all fake rigged sparring sessions.

                  Very hard to get a fight with Floyd by calling him out. Floyd only takes up offer if your 2 divisions smaller. G Ggg called him out, not in was floyd. Nel o wanted rematch, not in. Pac wanted rematch not in.
                  Spence and thurman, all wanted floyd, no answer.
                  Getting Floyd in ring you are exhausted by then that is your toughest fight

                    bob wasnt going to let any of his guys fight floyd after floyd left TR and started using golden boy to promote his fights...bob thought that floyd was gonna use TR the way he ended up using golden boy

                    he wasnt about to let tim bradley near floyd when he could make his inhouse stuff.....as soon as cotto broke free of top rank he easily made a fight with floyd and that was no coinicidence

                    i dont think bradley not fighting floyd cost him any money...he likely made fighting pac once what he would have made fighting floyd once...and he got multiple manny fights/paydays...with floyd it would have been one and done most likely...so bradley probably made out.....but bob wasnt having one of his guys lose to floyd when he could pit his guys against each other
