Its the same scenario remember bradley turned down kahn! reason he had other plans at the time,that plan being pacquiao.bradley had an opportunity to UNIFY the 140lbs division instead he moved up in weight for manny,bradley said kahn and him will get it on eventually, im sure tim and brook will also.Its taking brook a long time to get to where he is,he didnt burst on the scene at 18 and start showing signs of being a future great! hes learning every fight and every fight from now on is more dangerous and more important than the previous 1,brook iv been told and kinda saw for myself had serious stamina issues in the jones fight from the 6th onwards you could clearly see he wasnt his usual self this is the 1st time in his whole pro career he ever had an energy level issue and now for the 1st time hes using a strength and conditioning coach for his upcoming fight,he does look now at this point in his career to be world champion material and that world title is only 2 to 3 fights away,im guessing when he becomes mandatory for the IBF belt his promoters will have much more leverage when negotiating future fights its a smart move he gets the IBF then defends it in front of 20000 british fans,bradley wouldnt sell that many tickets in his home town let alone vegas against brook.Anyways i think brooks to big to strong for bradley even now at this stage them assets along with his smart ring and fighting IQ he would beat timothy, tims not a natural welterweight his body size requires a pacquiao style along with ko power or really back you up abit kinda power against big welterweights.bradley should fight carston jones then you will see what im talking about.

The lesson that we should have learned from this spring is that there are so many variables and potholes en route to "the next big fight".
Remember how Khan was gonna steamroll Garcia and then move to 147?
Remember how Ortiz simply needed to beat Josesito for a big fight with Canelo?

Waiting 12 to 18 months shortens the overlap window that he can get into the Floyd/Pac windfall. In 2 years, Mayweather may be on a beach and Manny may be governor of Sarangani. Floyd turns 36 in a few months. He has a *****-ton of money. Mayweather may just decide to check out. Manny may decide not to face a speedy mover.
I would want to MAXIMIZE my chances of facing these guys... not to delay it.

If i was kell brook and i beat saldivia id be talking to matchrooms eddie hearn saying put alexander on hold if we can because and im dead serious fighting ricky hatton in englands wembley stadiums 70000! odd sellout guarenteed crowd then amir kahn 5 to 6 months later in the same venue would make him more money than saldivia alexander title fight and bradley title fight put together this kell brook is in an amazingly strong financial position for a british boxer in these hard financial times fighters go threw a career and would be lucky to make what this guy could in 2 fights in england! im not joking those 3 fighters in england pull serious crowds now there all active well known and at same weights if kahn moves up that is.
