Outside of Floyd, there's been no AA fighter who's made bigger purses per fight than Andre Ward & Timothy Bradley over the last couple of years....neither are bad guys:manny:

Tim Bradley should be bigger and do should andre. Your proving my point. Why is it that ab who is a b level fighter would be a side to Tim who is a future hof. Floyd laid the bluprint. Get these cacs in they feelings and ull make more money

I don't know about Bradley though, because his style isn't real exciting. Monica has done well for him.

Ward you right though.
Crawford is the next one. Exciting style, excellent personality. Arum is trying to build him up. If he doesn't catch on more mainstream it will be obvious why.

Plus I think it would be an easier fight for GGG to make if he wants to unify. Khurtsidze seems like a dude willi g to rumble with anyone. BJS only (maybe) wants it with GGG if he is paid crazy money. Hadn't heard it before, but Arum said the Kazakh government pulled their funding for GGG-BJS which is what was allowing the fight to happen.

Its just a theory but think about it. Doesnt it make the most business sense to get both viewrs. the nikkas that want to see u win and those that dont. It just seems that nowadays for AA fighters that being a bad guy gets them the most exposure for their talent. tim was once a top 10 fighter p4p imo. He should be much bigger. if tim was from britain he would be much bigger. the only way for casuals to give a fukk about an AA boxer in 2017 is to be a bad guy other than that you will only go so far. and t craw is 30, by the time he at ww, he not gonna be able to seperate himslef from the pack. TR should have made his ass move up 2 years ago. now he gonna be a small chinny and possibly past prime (from an athletic standpoint) by the time he finally gets a shot at the PBC nikkas at 147.

can someone lay out a bradley path to victory against AB. i just dont think he big enuff to bully and he 33 can he really outwork Ab for 12 rounds without getting knocked out or down. I dont see post ruslan tim taking the same shots grandos took wihtout getting knocked down at least. prime tim outworks him IMO

Keith Thurman sitting out until November tells me he's waiting on the outcome of Pac/Horn and Brook/Spence Jr

It also tells me that Porter won't be facing him anytime soon unless WBC forces a mandatory over unification (something they probably won't do here)

WBA won't force a unification but can instead collect from Peterson's sanctioning fees and continue pump faking like they're really trying to consolidate their 339 belts.

Porter wouldn't get a shot at Pac for obvious reasons, IBF is a closed door, WBA is already a mess... HOWEVER...

It probably doesn't matter anyway seeing as how he had two cuts and probably will be out until the fall or winter anyway


In the meantime, Peterson needs a partner, there's no reason for him to stay inactive. And there was that very close decision that he would like to avenge...

So, @ChocolateGiddyUp is #Swiftset down for the rematch for the WBA "regular" title?

I don't think either fighter risks it... A L sets back one of them too much

I agree with you 100% on the fact that AA fighters have to be extra to be popular and usually have to create a love/hate relationship with the fans.

Certain fan bases accept fighters easily. Canelo is kind of boring in how he typically hypes himself, but Mexicans love him. A lot of British/Irish fighters are boring and their nations love them.

The fact is the US, especially with AA fighters don't like nice guys or regular guys. To get a following you have to be portrayed as a villian. Wilder should be popular like Joshua right now. But people won't get behind an AA champion who has an exciting style and good personality...in the traditionally most popular division.

:dwillhuh:


AB wouldn't get paid MORE than Timothy Bradley if they fought, "a-side" or not.....and he's still never received a paycheck as big as the one's Ward and Bradley have received in their career while being "good guys" the entire time. Matter of fact, AB's never been paid $2 million for 1 fight.




Bradley got paid $2 million to face Diego Chaves on HBO.....Ward got $2 million to face Paul Smith on BET.
