I feel he needs to answer the doubters and fight someone at the top of their game or at least holding a significant title.
I mean who else could he fight? If youre a youngish guy coming up then you dont want to fight AJ as he will take your 0.
Older guys who just want a pay day or going to be seen as just that. He could go fight Chisora but what would be the point of that?

I thought this was supposed to be Manny's last fight? Yeah, he looked really good, but Bradley seemed intent on fighting the way Manny wanted him to, and not borrowing from Mayweather's blueprint of hugging every time Manny made a move.

We'll see if he gets elected. Manny said after the fight he's 50-50 that he'll fight again. He got 20 mil for fighting Bradley and would get the same type of money if he fought again. Hard to leave that kind of money on table.
Bradley got outclassed (for the third time), but Atlas had a terrible gameplan. For example, Bradley threw only 340 punches on Saturday night. He threw around 900 in the first fight.

Anthony Joshua vs Dominic Breazeale this Saturday at O2 Arena on Showtime. Joshua should take care of the American under 5.
Keith Thurman v Shawn Porter for the WBA Welterweight Title in primetime Saturday on CBS. Two top 5 Welterweights in their prime. Fight could be a little sloppy due to styles and both have had big layoffs. Looking forward to it tho.

The WBC Heavyweight champion of the world fights tomorrow night on FOX. Deontay Wilder who is an undefeated American from Tuscaloosa is fighting a long time gatekeeper in Mexican american Chris Arreola.
Wilder is our best bet at a american unified champ in the heavyweight division. He and Joshua is the dream matchup a year from now

GGG vs Kell Brook this Saturday in London on HBO at 2:30 PT. GGG had 1,500 people show up to his workout today outside of London.
Brook is a welterweight moving up to face GGG for his titles cause the middleweight division is terrified of GGG. Canelo even gave up his WBC title to not face him.
GGG in 6..
Chocolatito Gonzalez v Carlos Caudras at the LA Forum for the WBC Super Flyweight title on Saturday night. On the undercard is the rematch between Jesus Soto-Karass and Yoshihiro Kamegai. They fought earlier this year in a FOTY candidate.
Great day in boxing. Makes up for a weak week 2 in CFB.

Watched the Cuadras-Chocolatito fight. The lighter weight divisions sure are more fun to watch.
Or maybe it's because Latin fighters aren't defensive bitches.

Dang. I think the "saddest washed-up atholetes" are invariably boxers.

I don't think Hopkins really counts as a washed-up athlete. He remained good even at 50 years old. He won the IBF light heavyweight title in 2013 at 48 years old, successful defended it, and won a title unification bout as recently as 2014. I think this loss is more of a case of father time finally catching up with him.

Well, I wasn't talking about Hopkins specifically, but more generally about boxers who stay in the ring well past their primes. When a washed-up athlete from any other sport stays on the field too long, it manifests itself in him unable to make the quick cuts he used to, or to turn on pitches the way he used to, or being relegated to a minor role when he once was an All-Star. It's Kobe in his last three years (final game notwithstanding). It's Kareem trotting slowly up and down the floor as his Showtime teammates run around and about him like a bunch of young puppies around their elderly father.
In boxing, it's a man getting into the ring with a man who is young enough to be his son, and proceeding to get his clock cleaned by the younger man. It just reminds me so much of an old lion getting pounced on and cucked by a younger lion.
