    Makes perfect sense to me. Bradley wants to maximize the profit of a fight with Alexander. Who wouldn't?

    I don't agree, what better way for them to make names for themselves than putting on great shows fighting each other?

    I just don't see Alexander or Bradley becoming household names while fighting the rest of the division, Bradley has been doing this for a few years now already.

    Khan doesn't have the problem that these 2 have in that he's got Golden Boy pushing him all of the way to make him a name and a big money star.

    makes sence. most other countrymen do this.

    then perhaps an eventual matchup.....after they both kick off their careers into bigger and better things.

    Bradley does not believe he'll beat Alexander at this point, hence this bull****.

    Interesting. Bradley and Shaw's business planning is understandable, but I'm surpirsed their interested in a 140 tournament so soon. Shaw is right in saying that a Bradley-Alexander fight needs to mature, but I think it's more than simply 1 or 2 fights' time. If anything, it'd be better for Bradley and Alexander to defend their titles another three or four times before getting in the ring. That way, resumes are boosted, the talk between camps intensifies, the public becomes more aware of each fighter and the purse increases markedly. There are several credible opponents each man could find for multiple defenses as well.

    Anybody in the 140 level have any balls at all?

    Bradley's quote is basically saying - "I might lose, so I don't want to miss my only chance for a big payday."

    Khan - "Devon Alexander? Have you heard about my chin?"
