Ex-Champ Names Best Opponent for Richard Torrez

Former world champion Timothy Bradley believes the perfect next opponent for rising American heavyweight Richard Torrez is none other than his fellow countryman, Jared Anderson.

“You know who I want to see him fight? I want to see him against Jared Anderson. Seriously. Anderson should be next for Torrez.

Vianello was a solid test—Torrez passed it. Got the job done.

Let’s rewind—they’ve got history. Torrez beat him in the amateurs, right? Now Torrez is rising fast, just passed his first real test. He beat a guy who beat Arslanbek Makhmudov and has faced legit opponents. So why not make the fight?

Why not let them fight and find out who’s better? Who’s the best in Top Rank’s heavyweight stable, huh?” Bradley said.

In his most recent outing, Richard Torrez scored a unanimous decision win over Guido Vianello. Jared Anderson, meanwhile, earned a dominant points victory over Mario Collias. A clash between the two young American talents could answer some big questions in the heavyweight division.
