Top five next opponents for Tim Bradley

5. Manny Pacquiao:

A third Tim Bradley fight may be the finale to close the curtains on Pacquiao’s career. Bradley will be hoping for revenge against Pacquiao and this time Tim would be in the hands of a new trainer: Teddy Atlas. Their last outing saw Bradley handily outpointed, so Pacquiao will most likely face someone different in 2016.

4. Sadam Ali:

Known as the ‘World Kid’, Ali has moved from his entertaining ESPN days to top tier contention. Making breakthroughs in dispatching Francisco Santana and Luis Carlos Abregu; he was granted the mandatory position for the WBO title which Bradley is instructed to defend against him within a 90 day period. Sadam Ali is dangerously talented … but needs more challenging bouts to merit a title among this calibre.

3. Danny Garcia:

‘Mr. Swift’ poses some questions for the welterweight division, and Tim Bradley might see if he can answer them. Garcia might be easier than you’d think for Bradley – as Garcia telegraphs his left hook – especially against the recent cannon fodder he’s faced, he’s loaded up and missing his hook until, that is, his opponent is left slumped to the canvas from a wide left hook that “came out of nowhere”. Undefeated Garcia does possess boxing ability but Bradley might be able to see past this.

2. Keith Thurman

A dangerous choice for Bradley, as some boxing fanatics may infer that ‘One Time’ Thurman will ride through the ‘Desert Storm’ and has more than enough ring IQ, speed and definitely power to unify his WBA regular title with Bradley’s WBO belt successfully. Defeating Bradley may shoot Keith Thurman to stardom.

1. Kell Brook

Yet to face someone with the pedigree of Bradley, who has had more experience under the bright lights and faced more reputable opposition. But Bradley has been wobbled before and Brook is more accurate than those who’ve had the American on his heels, such as Ruslan Provodnikov and Jesse Vargas, so Tim Bradley might just be in trouble against the sharpshooting ‘Special’ Kell Brook.
