    All Khan has to worry about is making the fights possible to unify the titles.

    He can get more credit, even more money, if he fights them all for the titles one by one.

    Line them up and take them down.


    I'm not saying he doesn't make a valid point but he should just care about the goal to unify if that is his plan.

    He really isn't in a position at this point to dictate.

    Pac has more of a right to dictate, not Khan.

    But I wouldn't mind them fighting each other. I think they should.

    And then the loser fights the loser of Khan vs. Maidana. And then the winner of that fights gets the winner of Alexander vs. Bradley.

    The main man right now is Bradley, followed by Alexander.

    Then there is Khan.

    If Bradley - Alexander fought, they'd fight for the supreme position in the division, and Khan wouldn't have much say on the negotiations table against the winner of said fight.

    Bradley - Alexander will form one or possibly two super stars, Khan.. whilst an upcoming young interesting phenom, wouldn't have any say against the winner of a bout between Bradley - Alexander.

    The only thing holding this back is, Alexander and Kevin Cunningham have been gunning for Bradley for months and months now, and Bradley and Diaz has not even responded, which to me is fishy.

    And Bradley already said in the May version of the Ring that Alexander is spoon fed, and Bradley came up the hard way.

    Who the **** has Alexander fought?

    The mother ****er just like everybody else needs to earn a fight.

    Bradley is bein mentioned as opponents for Pac and Mayweather and is about to fight the undefeated Abrigu at Welter to set up a shot against one of those money makin opponents.

    Alexander is busy fightin Kokelecheck or whatever his name is, when he SHOULD be tryin to fight someone like Peterson who would outbox his ass.

    :lol:

    Bradley and Alexander know eachother very well, have sparred numerous times since the amateur days, in fact.. Timbo beat Devons brother Vaughn in the amateurs, and reports have it, Devon's been having his way with Timbo in all sparring sessions.

    A unification bout with Alexander is far more interesting than a bout with Abrigu, get that in your head please.

    They dont want no part of Alexander.

    I am not talking about ranking in the division i know Khan right now is behind Bradley and maybe Alexander if you like. It does not matter, anyone out of them who fights Khan makes better money then facing off each other.

    So if Khan beats Maidana its puts him naturally waiting at the top waiting to find a dancing partner out of Bradley and Alexander to settle who is the best.

    The belts need to come to one fighter, lets hope it happens.

    He gave up his WBC belt when Alexander was his mandatory.

    And now that both were available for the past few months, Devon and Kevin have been dogging him, trying to get this fight to happen, to NO AVAIL.

    If you followed the sport as closely as I have for many many years, you would know Timothy Bradley, Andre Berto, Devon and Vaughn Alexander, Andre Dirrell, Andre Ward, Rock Allen and Vanes Martirosyan all are quite good friends and have been working together, ala: "The class of '04".

    Damn, you just full of **** all over today.

    I know the mother ****er gave up his belt...

    To fight WHO, mother ****in NATE CAMPBELL.

    Who was thought of as the real deal back then, and like I was sayin, I gave you a mother ****in SOURCE, RING MAY 2010 BRADLEY interview talks about EXACTLY why he dropped his belt and it had nothin to do with what you tryin to imply.

    Bradley hadn't ducked ****.

    And you didn't give me a source for ****. I wanna see where Alexander was whuppin Bradley. Cuz I think you made that **** up.

    Alexander isn't close to Khan or Bradley, as far as resume goes. It's simple - Look at their best wins. Alexander has Witter and Urango, Khan has Malignaggi and Kotelnik. The clear best of those four, are the two Khan fought. No way does he rank below Alexander.

    I say pit the 1st and 3rd against each other and the 2nd and 4th. It makes sense. That is probably Bradley/Alexander and Khan/Maidana. After that, the best two can fight. It's the only way to clear up the brilliant division and add some genuine excitement.

    Khan's quote is good, I think. He wants to be the best in this division and face the best. It makes sense.

    Even a shot Tyson toke monstrous blows before being put down in the *th. Tyson had a very good chin that just doesn't get the credit it deserves. As far as Khan, he's not on Alexander's level and damn sure isn't on Bradley's level so if this is true then he's giving himself too much undeserved credit or for short, being arrogant.

    We'll talk in two years when all is said and done and the belts have one righteous owner.

    You're a 2010-newbie entrant, so I'll give you a pass.

    No need to get all butt hurt and yell for a source, I said from what I have heard, Devon is supposed to have given Bradley all he can handle and then some in sparring, and giving up the WBC belt followed by no response from Kevin Cunninghams challenge, got to have even most Bradley fans wondering what the hell is going on.

    Carlos Abregu is nobody compared to actually unifying the belts with Alexander, and that's that.
