Bradley is a disgrace to boxing

[The Big Dunn]

Floyd, avoiding Marg to chase Oscar for big bucks

Timmy, avoiding Khan to chase Pacquiao for big bucks.

At least Pacquiao is not a past it part time boxer and is the tougher fight for Bradley.

Bradley is chasing the the money, who can blame him really, fights Khan loses walks away with 2 million, fights Pacquiao, loses and walks away with 7million and his career still in tact with his profile raised.

This is where you simply are not telling the truth. Antonio Margarito was a tough fighter but other than his top rank affiliation was a fringe (WBO) champ. Would you have fought the lineal champ or marg if you were floyd?

Be honest.

[Pessimistic]

I'm in agreement that Bradley should be fighting Khan for status. The winner now will unify all titles at 140 (aside from the IBO). He's a current titlist and has done more to deserve a shot at Pac than Clottey, Margorito, or Mosley.

[El_Forklift]

Do you guys not understand that he has a chance to make alot of $$$ fighting Pac now and if he loses to him no biggie the Khan fight should still be there but if he fights and loses to Khan for less the Pac fight for more won't be. Seems like a good move for him.

Its true... I understand where he messed up its he talked alot of crap to Khan and he turned it down like a biZH....

True, he should fight Corley and Morales.

Where the hell did you pull that figure from? Bradley has no negotiating position except for a bad one. They will offer him Clottey money as boxing promoters arent in the business of just giving money away to people no one outside of boxing has heard of.

7 million maybe a bit much, but it will be 5 million or more. Depending who Top Rank put Bradley against in his next fight.

If they can get him a title at 147lbs who knows.

Be honest.

The Marg offer came in before Baldomir, and the Floyd camp turned it down citing injury, then chose to fight Baldomir.

The Marg fight was for more money, but Floyd chose the easier fight. He made no bones about it. He said something along the lines that he was making the right moves to take him to the next level.

The Oscar fight, and a fight against Marg was risky and a lost would cost Floyd that fight and 10 of millions.

Marg was no fringe fighter and was ranked in the top 3 welters for years, once called the most avoided man in boxing.

It was a fight I was calling for at the time, and as a fan I was dispointed it didn't happen.

Look, I am not bashing Bradley as a fighter, but be realistic. Bradleys problems have been well documented and none of this is going to be lost on any prospective promoter. Boxing is a cut throat business and Bradley is backing himself into a corner here. HBO caught a cold on the last deal they gave Bradley and they are not going to throw money at the guy.

He has shot himself in the foot in spectactular style. A smart move would have been to collect the 2 million odd for a Khan fight(almost double his previous higher earnings) and if he were to win he would be able to command the 7 million plus of which you speak.

[Tiozzo]

even though he has turned his back on Khan and prefers to sit around waiting for Pac or Mayweather, it is pretty ******ed to call the man a disgrace

Bradley has fought everybody, he has picked up the biggest challenges and has fought the people the fans wanted him to fight

he has been in 2 unification fights, Khan is the last man standing in his way at 140

I believe that sitting around waiting for Pac/Mayweather is ill advised, but that doesn't erase all he has done right and all the fighters he has beaten
