Tim Bradley: "We NEED more fighters to fight the best!"

[Combat Talk Radio]

So ironic, coming from a man who basically was content avoiding everyone on the PBC side.

Funny coming from a guy who chose financial security over legacy.

agreed. bradley was brave in the ring. but a coward when it came to matchmaking.

and the best need to want to/be forced to, fight the next best too, works both way's

And that was a perfect way to explain it... No doubt in my mind he would fight anybody but resigning to Arum was a bad career choice he was ok with

Broner (who at the time would have been a VERY good test for Bradley) called Bradley out multiple times after Bradley called him a tuneup.

This happened (and BTW, Crawford later said it was BS):



So this narrative that the best need to be forced is BS. The truth is, Bradley (Top Rank) is the reason we hear about "the street". Yet Crawford says there is no street and Fury was able to fight Wilder. So what's different?

It's that Tyson Fury draws money.

Bradley did not. Crawford does not.

Bradley started to after beating Junior Witter overseas, but just like with Crawford and Ricky Burns, these guys don't keep the momentum going, they just sit back and talk while collecting guaranteed $3 million to fight C-levels. THAT'S the truth.

well if there was some mechanism in place that limited that carry-on they would have no choice but to fight each other, mando unifications maybe, i'm sure there are lot's of ways to make it happen, that would mean they would be forced to make the fight's even if they didn't want to, or drop the belt ofc

What's interesting to me is how strongly the WBO is trying to force Joshua to fight Usyk, yet they don't do that for any other division where it's a Top Rank fighter that holds the belt.
