During the course of the last two years Timothy Bradley has made a concerted effort to fight the best and during that time he has beaten Junior Witter 36-2-1, Kendal Holt 25-2, Lamont Peterson 27-0, and won the WBO as well as the WBC 140 world pound titles in the process. After beating WBO interim champion Lamont Peterson, an undefeated former amateur star, Bradley is looking for a big name opponent for a bout tentatively scheduled for May or June. Unfortunately for Bradley, nobody wants to fight the Southern California Native and as a result Bradley has begun to vocalize his frustrations and has started calling people out by name. In an exclusive interview with the Examiner, Bradley called out some of the biggest names in the sport and talked about Pacquiao-Clottey and Mayweather-Mosley.
Examiner.com: After the negotiations for Mayweather-Pacquiao broke down, your co-promoter, Gary Shaw, publicly stated that you would move up to fight Pacquiao at 147. Is that something you wanted to do?
Tim Bradley: Let’s do it. Let’s do it. Let’s do it at 47. I’m a monster at 147. I like to go to 140 because I’m the bigger man. I’m the stronger man at 140, but at 147 that’s where I’m strong at. I lot of people don’t know my track record. I fought at 147 and 152 pounds as an amateur. I’m used to the big guys. I like them big.
Examiner.com: Who do you like in the Pacquiao-Clottey fight?
Tim Bradley: Pac-man, Pac-man all day, easy fight.

Examiner: You guys were considering a Joan Guzman fight last year, is that a possibility?

Examiner.com: Victor Ortiz would be a good fight!
Tim Bradley: Let’s go Vic, we can do it Vic. Maidana let’s do it. Khan let’s do it. Floyd let’s do it. Pac-man let’s do it. Anybody in the division let’s do it. Anybody! Anybody in the division let’s do it. Malignaggi let’s do it. All the top guys in the division let’s do it.
