    I don't blame Bradley for taking the Pacman fight but after doing alot of talking about Khan- I'm disappointed. BTW this was the same guy who was hoping Khan got his jaw broken by Maidana!

    You really can't blame him for taking this route.

    As much as we'd have liked to have seen Khan vs Bradley he's got an opportunity to fight one of the best fighters ever..... with the Khan fight still probably being there afterwards win or lose.

    No. But taking advantage of HBO's generous (and stupid) guaranteed 1.2m offer by fighting a lesser opponent (instead of Khan), is a clever bit of cherry-picking. The potential Pacquiao fight won't happen until after this last fight with Gary Shaw.

    Love the fact that a good jab and movement is apparently the way to beat Pac....but only if it's Floyd :patsch

    Everyone saying it's a mismatch, make your f'n mind up.

    JMM in a name fight or Judah in a unification.

    Bradley will fight on Showtime, most likely as Pacs next opponent as JMM doesn't like earning money.

    Bradley wants nothing to do with Khan as he'll lose.

    Bradley is very overrated.

    smart move on Bradley's part to cash in on a pac fight. Losing to pac is no shame plus his bank balance will be looking pretty damn good!

    Khan stylewise is all wrong for Bradley, tall and very fast guy in Khan would pose all the problems in the world for him. When it comes to a toss up between losing to Khan or losing to Pacman, I know who I would rather get my ass kicked by!

    http://www.mydesert.com/article/201.../Timothy-Bradley-refutes-Manny-Pacquaio-rumor

    I haven't heard anything like that, but if it's true, hey, hey, hey,” Bradley said laughing.
    But Bradley continued to deny the post by Khan.
    “Not at all, it's not true, but I wish it was true,” said Bradley, who was in Las Vegas over the weekend for Pacquiao's victory over Shane Mosley.
    Bradley pointed out he's still under contract with his promoter, Gary Shaw, until the end of June, so he can't negotiate with any other promoter.

    Bradley is saying the Pacman fight is BS.
    A few months ago he said Khan had to "stop running from him" though so who knows what to believe....

    I just read that on the scene.

    Bradley's looking for an easy opponent next. Khan's gone all out in criticizing him, and who can him [Khan]? Bradley's been talking for months about how Khan's running, he shouldn't have fought McCloskey, etc, and now he's gone and done this. Can't imagine HBO being to pleased with him.

    After the Alexander fight, Arum said he wouldn't let Pac fight Bradley until he shows he can fight without butting. I can see Bradley sitting on the shelf gathering dust whilst JMM fights Pac in November. Not the way a man who keeps talking about money, makes it:yep
    He's the poor mans Floyd..

    Would it shock you if I said there is never a bad time to give Bradley pelters? :yep
