Hopefully he continues to fight. I still remember that fight he had with Provonikov. What a fight that was...Quote:

I can only assume he must be injured as he is normally an active fighter or he could be seeing out his contract with Arum which could pave the way for fights with Al Haymon's stable.
I love watching Bradley. but I don't think he's injured, I reckon he's been looking for big money fights only . and they're just not materializing . he was offered a final eliminator the other day apparently and wasn't interested.
as much as I like him , I have to be consistent and say that he's not acting much differently to Khan unfortunately.
Crawford vs Bradley would be alright but Bradley hasn't been active enough recently to make that be a big time fight.
This is it. He's made enough and appear to be one of the few boxers who has actually invested his money wisely and not blown it, no divorces, no fifteen million kids to pay for for the next decade and a half. He's just sitting there waiting for the right size cheque to materialise but Top Rank have limited dates available from HBO and need to keep guys like Crawford happy so he's kind of on the shelf. Possible fights are JMM and Cotto if Arum can be persuaded to deal with the other promoters.Quote:

He's exactly the opponent top guys should want(except not being a draw) he's respected and beatable.
Always one for guaranteed action and like his approach but if I'm honest I cannot picture a scenario where he lives with the top tier welters this point. Crawford or Spence would both punch holes thru him. He's content and deserves it.
Haven't read anything about it, perhaps he's on something and that's why we haven't heard about him lately or as it has been metioned, he's chasing some wild goose he hasn't seen yet.
He's waiting for a money fight. The Cotto fight should be a natural to make at this point.
He could fight Khan.

It's quite nice seeing Khan squirming around talking about Brook now because the penny has dropped that he has no other money alternatives.
The only problem is, that if Brook loses Saturday, I think Khan could be next for him.
Yet another reason to want a Brook victory. That way, maybe, just maybe he would tell Khan to go fuck himself.
If Brook wins he is more likely to fight Khan. Easy money for Kell in comparison to the people he would have faced.Quote:

Would be sad to give away such momentum with an easy payday.Quote:

Easy and payday are 2 nice words for a boxer who has had to go through Spence and GGG. I think Kell would deserve it.Quote:

It would be nice to see Brook take on a Thurman or Pac but I'd give him a pass for a money grab against Khan before pursing the other titleholders.Quote:

Watching previous Brook fights and how he won the title with his old videos of him a child dreaming of being a champion in Ingles gym are quite moving.
Manny was just too fast and awkward for Bradley. Bradley has a good shot against the likes of Thurman IMO if he goes back to what he used to do. Pressure his man, make it awkward and throw lots of punches. He just couldn't do that so much against Manny because Pac is too fast and still hits hard. Pac is on the decline, but he is still better than the likes of Thurman too IMO. All it takes is a couple of knockdowns and you have a close fight. Manny only throws 40 punches a round now though. The engine is gone. Bradley would win a rematch in 2 years. Nobody wants to see that though. Their styles don't mesh that well.
