    From 2.00mins


    Bradleys going to sign with Top Rank and is likely to be Mannys opponent in the Spring 2012.


    Disappointing that the Bradley - Khan fight isnt happening but you can understanmd why hes letting the Khan fight go.

    No, I'm not having it. You're talking way too much sense.

    My opinion on it is that it's just a shame that despite proclaiming to be a 'warrior', Bradley is not willing to take on Khan in a fight that he has a good chance of winning just so he doesn't scupper a potential fight with Pacquiao.

    Waiting around for a year for a fight which may or may not happen (imagine if Marquez beats Pacquiso, then what?) just doesn't sit right with me

    Do some people actually believe Tim is ducking Amir Khan while planning a deal to fight the best fighter on the planet? LOL

    Anyone who thinks Bradley is ducking Khan needs to log out.

    1. He's been made a poor offer to fight Khan
    2. He wants away from Gary Shaw
    3. There's an opportunity at Pacquiao

    Seems more than reasonable if you ask me.

    Yes. 100%. Khan, in all honesty, is one of the most feared opponents currently at 140 pounds. Would you want to fight him!?

    Especially with his KO power, he'd be too much for pumpkin head. Quack.

    I dont think the latest offer from Team Khan was poor but I agree on everything else.
    No matter how good the Khan offer was though he will always make more fighting Pacman.

    Hes most likley going to fight someone at 140 in a few months to keep him busy before a Spring Pacman fight.

    A poor offer!?!?!?!?

    Don't get me started on that, man.

    Even Tim Bradley's own team said they don't know what he's doing and were upset by it.

    Most journalists and boxing fans were shocked by it.

    His purse was upped from 1.3 to 1.4 with an additional 50% PPV split of Khan's UK revenue.

    That's NOT a poor offer.

    :lol:

    Tim wants to sit out till 2012 and wait for Manny, so then why not fight Khan on July 23rd or even later this year if he is having problems with Shaw?

    Fact is Bradley knows Khan has a good shot at beating him and don't want to lose his shot at Pac real talk, if he really fought he was the best at 140 why not fight Khan and beat him and then face Pac like the King of 140 should?
