    Very poor attitude from Bradley, i hope he doesn't get the fight with Pac/Mayweather because this sort of thing shouldn't be encouraged

    floyd will get more money fighting pac or khan.

    pac and roach wont want to give bradley a payday and wont allow him to just duck khan for a bigger payday to lose even more badly and to get such a big shot at pac without proving himself by fighting khan.


    Bradley will want to go to top rank but roach and pac can rule him out and go for floyd,and rule him out cuz they dont wana stop khan being undisputed champion.

    If chump bradley goes to GBP then they will make him fight khan first to prove himself.

    Shaw will make him not fight or fight Khan.

    He has no where to run hide or jump past khan.

    I never thought of that before, you could be right, but business is business tbh, if Arum wants it, it will happen.

    Very dissapointing move, but when I look at it from his position, he's being sensible (for himself).

    His 0 and them two belts is the only thing that's going for him right now.

    1. He's not a draw.
    2. He really won't be effective against big top class WW if he moves up.

    So really, if he loses that record, he's basically lost the chance of a huge payday, undoubtedly.

    He would have absolutely nothing going for him, and the LWW division is about to get real deep with top prospects coming up and world champs like Rios etc, so he's using what he has and banking on the chance of a Pacquiao fight coming in early next year.

    Great chance he wouldn't have got it if he had fought Amir and lost. You can tell he's thought about it a lot, but it is really dissapointing that we won't see a undisputed 140 champion.

    Bradley is a **** for this. Not a fan of him anymore. When you've got a massive fight on the table like this, for supremacy in your own division, you have to take it. This isn't a small mediocre fight, its a big fight with a lot of money and prestige on the line. So to pass that up for the 'possibility' of fighting Pacquiao massively disapoints me. A true fighter would take this already very good proposition and be confident of winning.

    even i cant defend this **** anymore, clear ***** move, bradley-khan is the only fight that makes the most sense at 140 im not sure how well bradley can do at 147, he beats ortiz/berto and jean zavrick but some1 like mike jones would seriously pound the **** out of him, khan will likely have to fight alexander but im sure that guy will cook up some excuse

    Khan would be far too quick for him and beat him on points or late stoppage and Tim knows it,i can see why he's ducking him but its bad for boxing..

    Laz who would you pick Bradley v Khan @ 140? Honestly:yep
    I like Bradley but can't be arsed with boxing politics.These
    fighters should be able to look after themselves.I would have
    Khan @ number 1 deffo right now but favour Bradley if they fought.

    Are Hopkins and Taylor the only people to unify all 4 belts?
    Can't remember the old thread about it

    He isn't in a good position, he isn't fighting, he is waiting and that is simply a risky position. Pac has a fight lined up for November and Floyd has a fight lined up for September. If you aren't fighting, you aren't earning, simples. But Timmy is scared to lose his 0. If Pac and Floyd look to each other for an April/May fight then Timmy is left out in the cold again.

    I now consider Khan the number 1 at 140.
