    im a fan of Timothy next hes facing Joel Casamayor whos no longer in his prime. he could of fought Khan for 1.2 million or something like that but turned it down. now by joining top rank after his next fight if he wins (likely will) he could face face Manny for a bigger payday.

    the question is would you do what hes doing?

    Lets put it a little more accurately

    He would have lost to Khan, or chance of losing was certainly too high a risk

    If it were the case that he would have fought and beat Khan, he still could/would have fought Pacquiao

    So **** him, his buckteeth, and his buckhead

    For not fighting Khan earlier this year? no
    For signing with Arum and getting lined-up with a potential fight against Manny Pacquiao and a huge payday? Of course who wouldn't

    So it's a split for me. Can't vote with your case though.

    He would've got over 2 million for a Khan fight. Had he won his stock and profile would've gone up, and chances of a Pacquiao bout would be just the same, only he could expect a much bigger purse than he would now. He's still an unknown fighter and I'm not convinced a Pacquiao bout is a sure thing to happen. I would have fought Khan, and then broke it off with Shaw

    Only Pac has fought guys established at the weight, unlike Mayweather who cherry picked 3 of his last 4 opponents who were coming up in weight or off just one fight at the weight. :deal

    (*Marquez fight is a mere ending to their trilogy, Pac wouldn't have fought him otherwise...no point going there)

    Like Marquez at welterweight and Margarito at junior-middle? That's two of his last three fights. The other was against a shot 38 year-old coming off a dominant loss and a draw to a fringe contender.

    I think Bradley has been holding off on the Khan fight because he has said for awhile now he wants a crack at Pac or Mayweather.

    Now i have no problem with wanting to test yourself aginst the best or even just doing it for a payday but it does appear like he is not sure if he could beat Khan so he didn't want to ruin his chances of landing a Pac/Floyd fight.

    Clever? Yes...but is it something i admire in a boxer? No.

    No, bradley is a ****ing Fraud, he's worse than Haye

    all that **** calling out Khan and then he went for the money grab because he knew he'd lose to khan and be out of the pac sweepstakes or whatever the **** he calls it

    Disgraceful excuse for a "fighter"

    I hope Pac don't even fight him and he finishes his career in obscurity

    If bradley loses to pacman he can still fight khan but if he loses to khan he can't fight pacman, so it makes sense bussiness wise, but it wouldve been nice to have a clear champ at 140

    Why would Khan give Tim a payday at 147lbs, no belts just coming off a career beatdown from Manny? :huh
