    WBO/WBC junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley
    This content is protected
    has laid out his target list for 2011. On Saturday night at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, he won a ten round technical decision over Devon Alexander to unify their 140-pound titles. Now he wants the WBA title owned by Amir Khan

    . Golden Boy Promotions wants to make Bradley-Khan on July 30. Khan already has a fight set for April 16 in Manchester. There is no opponent yet for Khan....."Khan is probably number one on the list, "Bradley said. "I would love a chance at Floyd Mayweather.I think I've have to take Khan out next ,"Then there will be no doubt who's the best 140-in the world. The key name on the list down the road is MANNY PACQUIAO::thumbsup

    There is no chance bradley beats kahn, so he better get himself a good payday.
    As to bradley fighting someone like pac or floyd, get real.
    He was exposed as a one dimentional fighter last night.

    I like Bradley as a person and as a professional boxer. Just wish the guy had more pop. I'm not sure how he would fare against a speedy guy who's tall and has a decent jab like Khan. But that fight has to be made and I would definitely tune in but wouldn't expect it to be a FOTY candidate.

    I wish more boxers had the mentallity of Bradley, he just wants to get the best and biggest challenges, when he loses i have no doubt he will be a very humble loser and will be comftable in the knowledge he tried his best against the best.

    People like Haye and Mayweather could take a leaf out of his book.

    Good attitude. No trash-talking, just plain old calling-out the best there is and finding out who's the best. A real champ and a great boxer.

    Alexander should give a rematch to Kotelnik (IMO Kotelnik won the fight) or face Maidana.

    Nothing wrong with calling out fighters putting his name out there. He's a champ at least. He can be the go to second or third option guy.

    Next is Khan?

    Yes, I admire him for that, another unification fight. I hope it gets made.

    But Floyd and Pacquiao? Highly unlikely to happen. Better the winner of Khan/Bradley takes on JMM to boost their P4P RANKING.

    Really love Bradley, as a guy and like the way he fights, but Khan is all kinds of wrong for him. Khan is faster and has a great jab from range and great conditioning. Khans achilles heel is his chin, and Bradley doesn't have enough pop to hurt him.

    Bradley takes anyone else at the weight, but definitely not Khan.

    Pretty much this.

    I think Bradley-Maidana is about a 50/50 fight too (I slightly favour Bradley still).

    Oh don't worry, Timmy. With your head, you'd take out an elephant.

    bradley is a good guy and a good fighter- but he lacks the supersomthing factor to be in the class of the guys he s calling out. each of those guys has an amazing gift that has made them or will make them special- be it speed, reach, power, defence.

    bradley has no special abilities that we know of- he s sound, but if he s going to beat pac or floyd he ll need to be more than a solid boxer. i think he would sturggle against prior champs like zoo, hatton and judah- let along those guys. he has no power, no reach and his speed isnt effective at the highest levels. i think amir can go into that fight a very confident man. amr should take that fight asap- he ll win it easily- and put himself into top 10 p4p, then he should take on berto, and maybe an ageing welter , like margarito or mosley, or a veteran smaller guy, like marquez, those fights are the ones i would put him in if i were his manager, then he d be household- and a fight with floyd would be doable. he can accomplish all that in 2 years , still be about 26- and in his prime, and maybe be a threat to an ageing floyd. right now though, only pac and floyd are worthy of each other and able to take each other on really.

    bradley khan would still be a good fight though, alexander and bradley was a bad stylistic fight, they clashed heads all nite- and alexander being a conservative southpaw made it worse. khan i think would keep bradly at a distance and popshot him , and pick him apart, forcing bradley to go in deep and engage up close- and make it a real good fight i hope. still got khan though- 8 rounds to 4.

    Bradley is getting taken out on a stretcher when he loses to khan.
    I didn't think much of bradley when he struggled to beat old man overrated witter and this fight just confirmed how mediocre bradley is.

    Really? Bradley, who has had 6 title fights and unified twice, would be 50/50 against Maidana? Maidana struggled against Chop Chop 2 fights ago.
