    When Golden Boy pulled off a WBC light-welterweight title shot for three-weight world champion Erik Morales at the expense of Timothy Bradley, it was immediately assumed that if ‘El Terrible’ picked up the title that he would face stablemate Amir Khan in a three-belt unification later this year.

    According to the WBC website though, that fight is now unlikely to take place as one of the stipulations of the bout gaining WBC title status was that the winner must defend the title against the now ‘champion in recess’ Timothy Bradley.

    Many fans thought that Bradley, 27, was harshly treated by the WBC when he was stripped of the belt without being given the chance to line up his first defence and it seems that the WBC have felt compelled to place him as the mandatory challenger to the victor on September 17th.

    WBA and IBF champion Khan had already been pencilled in to meet Morales in December with all three titles on the line if the Mexican legend could come through Lucas Matthysse unscathed, but the WBC has now thrown a spanner in the works and Golden Boy may have to look at other options for Khan’s final 140lb fight and that could mean renegotiating with Bradley himself in an ironic twist of fate.

    If Bradley's still fighting at 140 then why the **** can't he fight Khan?

    That's ****. There really was no point in stripping Bradley if they were going to make it compulsory for the Morales-Matt winner to fight him straight after. I was really looking forward to the possibility of a Khan-Matt fight.

    Its hard to feel sorry for a guy who turned down his biggest payday to defend his titles against a legitimate threat.

    Why doesnt he just fight Khan instead?

    The WBC might hope for that, but they don't dictate fights to any promoter unless it greatly benefits the promoter.

    Yea right, Khan gets Morales-Maidana winner. Bradley sits out longer or fights some ***** ass opponent like the hoe he is.

    Basically what this means is if Morales wins he can fight Khan, if Matthysse wins he'll be ordered to fight Bradley.
