Thread: All this chat about Bradley should've got the Floyd fight...

C'mon people, you can't say that Bradley is who Floyd should be fighting when Bradley has effectively ruled himself out of the running by signing a new contract with Arum till after Floyd's last fight date. If he wanted it he would've held out till his contract expired. You can call Floyd not wanting to do business with Arum a convenient excuse but would you want to go back into business with some cunt who'd ripped you off to line his own back pocket?

Everything you said is true but boxing fans aren't rational, exactly like most sports fans.

No one wants to see a boring fight between Bradley and Floyd... it won't make as much money and it won't be exciting, at all.

I'm not part of the chat group. I'd like Garcia vs Bradley wayyy more.

In boxing, there is this "deserve" a fight idea. If you beat certain fighters, you deserve a fight. Bradley "deserved" the fight more than Maidana or Khan in terms of accomplishments. So did Lara and Lara is on Floyd's side of the fence. Kirkland, Garcia, even Thurman would be more fun than Maidana.

Bradley has fought whoever has been put in front of him and he's beaten them and there have been some very good boxers in there with him, greats even.

I just think he's a hard worker, he is always in shape, he's got a title, he's a good fighter.

Bradley deserves it more than any other welter but effectively signed it away by sticking with TR. He should have been freelance and gone to the highest bidder per fight.
