Boxing News 2015: Timothy Bradley's Camp Wants Showdown With Floyd Mayweather, Gennady Golovkin
The camp of World Boxing Organization (WBO) interim welterweight champion Tim Bradley, who served Jessie Vargas his first loss, is already calling a showdown with two undefeated fighters for Bradley.
The 31-year-old boxer, who has 32 wins and has only tasted defeat against Filipino boxing icon Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, is ready to clash with World Boxing Association (WBA) middeweight champion Gennady Golovkin and Forbes' 2015 World's Highest Paid Athlete, Floyd "The Money" Mayweather Jr.
The fighter scored a unanimous decision win over Vargas on June 27 at the StubHub Center in California, and it seems Golovkin is his next target, BoxingNews24 reported.
"Everyone thinks I'm crazy for calling out Golovkin, If my team wants it, I'll do it. I don't make the ultimate decision. I'm crazy. I'll call out [Wladimir] Klitschko too. I think I can go more than six rounds. I just have to avoid that right hand and move around. Don't stand with him in one spot," Bradley said at the press conference after the Bradley-Vargas fight.
Before he fought with Vargas, Bradley challenged "GGG," a fighter with 30 wins via knockout out of all his 33 professional wins, to fight him at 160.
"I'll fight Triple G. He puts on his pants just like I put on my pants. I'm not a coward, and I got skills. I believe in my skills. I'll fight him. Nobody else wants to fight him. I'll fight him at 160. I will. Everybody starts stuttering when they mention Triple G, " Bradley, the former two-division world champion told FightHype.
Yet, it seems his camp, composed of Joel Diaz, his father, Top Rank CEO and promoter Bob Arum may have another plan in store for him.
Arum may be considering the formidable Kazakh as Bradley's next opponent as the battle between the two could generate great pay-per-view subscriptions, noted BoxingNews24.
However, the Top Rank promoter is also trying to make Bradley face "The Money," informed Boxing Scene.
"They want (Bradley) in Dubai to fight Sadam Ali, that's a great possibility. And listen, I think of all the guys around he'd make the best fight for Mayweather," Arum told the media after Bradley's showdown with Vargas.
Bradley, although a seasoned fighter, is linked with Top Rank and HBO, and could get a snub from Mayweather, noted the outlet.
"Well, Floyd's always taken the least dangerous guy and Bradley poses a great danger. So will Showtime - which has to come up with the money - let him fight someone who's not going to resonate at the box-office. That's up to him and Showtime," the 83-year-old promoter said.
