    I was praying for Bradley and Khan to win their respective fights so we can have this unification fight. Now Bradley is bitching out?

    **** it. I hope Bradley loses his next fight. :deal

    He will have a better chance if he fights and beat Khan first. Pac is set to fight JMM . . . so there must be another reason.

    That is actually a good point, but knowing roach, and after listening to his last interview after the mosley fight, he clearly wants Bradley/Khan.

    This fight not coming off is bad for boxing, and it pisses me off frankly.

    Both fighters (if smart with their current money) will be well off for the rest of their lives, and will get more HBO fights win or lose this matchup, so I don't want to hear money was the issue.

    Greed destroyed this fight, and it's a bad day to be a boxing fan hearing this :-(

    I hate it when a guy like Bradley spends 10 years looking for a big fight, then they get a semi good fight and start to pass on big fights and then becomes a bum.

    he shouldnt keep khan waiting thats not fair to the guy, just tell him that he has promotional problems and wants to do the fight in december. Dont go saying how he is running and then hide yourself. Im telling you if this was reversed people would be all over khan hating on the guy.

    Dan Rafael gets more likable every 19 days. He has been really solid and consistent last 6 months.

    Top Rank has dropped in Bradley as a possible opponent for Pac in November. I don't blame Bradley for passing on Khan to fight Pac. He has to go for that big money and possible win. Pac is far above Khan.

    You can't really blame Bradley for not taking a fight with Khan when he might win the Pac sweepstakes. Bradley has shown fighting spirit and a willingness to fight good opposition, both Khan and Bradley are young, they'll fight eventually.
