    According to Gary Shaw, neither Khan or GBP are interested in a 140lb. tourney. Shaw proposed a 140 lb. tourney that included Bradley, Alexander, Marquez and Khan. Two guys would pick their opponents out of a hat. The winners would fight eachother. Apparently, Khan and his people want to no part of this idea. Here are the quotes;

    "If we pulled [the name of] Devon Alexander, then we would fight Devon Alexander. Golden Boy said no. Amir Khan doesn't want to fight anybody. Bradley will fight anybody and to Devon Alexander's credit, he will fight anybody.We would do it and Devon Alexander would do it...As a bonus, I said for the winner of the tournament should get $500,000. A check direct to the fighter."

    Wasn't the 140 lb. tourney Khan's idea? I guess he talked it over with his people and they decided they had other plans for him. Expect Khan to target Marquez next, then probably Ortiz, and then go after Mayweather. Those are some quality opponents. However, it's a little dissapointing that we won't see him in there with Maidana, Bradley, or Alexander anytime soon.

    Alexander's been calling out Bradley like crazy, but Bradley preferred to fight Abregu. Now they wanna make it look like they will fight Alexander if they pull his name out of a hat.

    Khan already said he would fight Maidana and then the winner of Bradley-Alexander, but he got criticized for that too, with people saying he wanted Bradley and Alexander to ruin each other so he could pick up the remnants.

    LOL. Its obvious Khan will be criticized no matter what he does

    It would be great if this happened. Let's see if that comes to fruition.

    Roach wont let Khan fight Alexander. He'll micromanage his career like he did Pacquiaos to the fullest extent possible not to have his fighter lose.

    Khan, Casamayor, Guzman and Chris John.

    I really don't think Roach has that much say in who Khan or Pacquiao fight.

    Con will not fight Bradley, Maidana or Alexander in the near future. I can personally guarantee that. Next up will be Morales or some other shot bloated fighter. Khan picks either shot, bloated, or feather-fisted guys.

    The last fighter Con fought who wasn't shot, bloated or feather-fisted (or a combination of the three) was Breidis Prescott, and he brutally knocked Con out inside a minute. Neither Bradley, Alexander or Maidana are shot, bloated, or feather-fisted, so he won't fight them.

    They should make it bigger with 8 names in it, straight elimination with names pulled out at random for each round.

    Bradley
    Alexander
    Khan
    Maidana
    Marquez
    Peterson
    Urango
    Holt

    Yes, he really wants to fight Maidana, hence why GBP paid him off. :nut:nut:nut:patsch:patsch:patsch

    If Con doesn't fight Maidana, Bradley or Alexander in his next fight, will you quit this forum? I will quit this forum is he does. Man up.

    Same offer to Lazarus, or any other deluded Con nut-hugger.
