Bradley vs Mayweather-Rumors on Potential Fight
Floyd Mayweather vs. Timothy Bradley: Latest News and Rumours on Potential Fight
Bleachers, 1 July 2015 http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/im...630&h=420&q=75 Former WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley is eyeing a potential fight with pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather following his unanimous-decision defeat of Jessie Vargas on Saturday. Bradley's interim welterweight title fight at the StubHub Center in California finished in controversial circumstances as referee Pat Russell called an end to proceedings seven seconds early having thought he heard the final bell. Vargas celebrated a victory as he thought the fight had been ended because he had just rocked Bradley with a big right hand, per HBO Boxing, but the fight was eventually, and rightly, called for the 31-year-old With talk of a re-match between the pair quashed, Bradley's promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, has put his man out there as Mayweather's potential next opponent, saying he can make the fight happen, per ESPN.com's Dan Rafael: Quote:
He has earmarked September 12 for his next, and perhaps final, appearance in the ring as a professional, per Jordan Moskowitz of BoxingScene.com. However, the names floated by Money recently have been largely uninspiring, particularly his insistence of late that he will fight one of Karim Mayfield or Andre Berto, per USA Today's Mike Coppinger Bradley, though, could provide the 38-year-old with a genuine challenge. He has lost only once in his career, to Pacquiao in 2014, two years after he won a controversial points decision against the Filipino. Bradley has arguably earned his chance to take on Mayweather—certainly more than Mayfield or Berto have—but the fight seems unlikely ever to happen, per FightNights.com: Quote:
In all likelihood, as noted by Rafael, Bradley will take on Sadam Ali in his next fight. Mayweather, on the other hand, remains as unpredictable as ever, but his next challenger is unlikely to offer the kind of threat Bradley could.
