If this was khan there would be masses of threads claiming how he is ducking, but because it is Bradley everyone seems to be ignoring the fact he is refusing to fight alexander?

great post....
I co-sign this to the full extent that it could be co-signed
Its too soon
If HBO come and offer both guys a $1 million then im sure they would sign without hesitation. Both guys are excellent fighters and deserve that kind of pay day for the fight and risks involved.
Thats the problems im not sure there is that kind of money in the fight yet. It is a bit of an unlucky situation because both guys are elite champs but in both cases they matured and excelled as fighters quicker then anyone anticipated so they need to build their names now. They should put them on the same bill and try and build it up, maybe do some kind of publicity stunt.
PATIENCE.
If it still hasn't happened a year from now, we can all get on Bradley then.
Bullshit this fight needs to happen next!!! Bradley should be getting shit for this!!!
Maybe because Bradley has actualy been fighting decent fighters up till this point, he hasnt even got his next fight signed yet so wait and see, although i would expect it to take place in a few fights time tbh.
because everyone is saying khan should fight maidana!
all khan meant was how come people were not having a go at bradley and alexander for not fightin each other. he could for a tourny, the best of the best will make it through
plus I also think it is an issue with weight, I dont buy it that khan is easily making 140, the guy is huge, to me he looks like a 147 fighter not a 140, he may want to unify the 140 quickly so he can move up
its only the guys 3rd fight at 140, steady on. i believe he can make 140 easily, he said he walks around 147, so 140 shouldnt be a problem. timmy says he struggles to make 140.

Yeah that boy is huge. He pretty long without being Paul Williams Roger Mayweather, Alexis Arguello Skinny. Which amazes me.
Hey I'm not faulting Khan at all. I know we he's doing, but he didn't go out of his way to put himself up against the best in the division. Maidana is the safest out of the 4 for him to fight. It just goes to show if the mentality was different he might be a little more game on calling out all of them.
Maidana doesn't have a title.
Don't blame the fighters, blame the fans, writers and commentatorsIts the sport now that tells fighters that are between 1-4 loses that they need to call it quits.
Its the fans and writers that after one bad showing are calling some fighters shot.
Peyton Manning can blow a super bowl, Lebron James could have scored single digits against the Celtics and they will have another chance to make it up. People will understand maybe they had a bad night.
When this stigma gets attached to your name your name goes down and so does the money. Boxing is a short career to have and these men want to make the most out of it before being forced out the sport.
Its that mentality that have these boxers so afraid to take risk and afraid of maybe possibly having a lose on their record.
I think all these guys are confident in their ability however no one wants to risk the potential lost.
Which is Why Khan is sayin let Bradley and Devon face off. He knows he can only beat one of them on his best day, but not both. He rather takes his chance on one.

Because he just had a fight scheduled with Maidana and Maidana pulled out. Alexander and his camp are calling out anyone they can for a fight, give it a month or so to clear up the mess and a meaningful fight will get made.
I can't see Timmy ducking Alexander, he does not bring in big money. Bradley is obviously looking for a payday right now.
When Alexander loses to him, it will be just another would have, could have thing....
but when khan went for the money instead of maidana people said its ducking
cant have it both ways
either khan and bradley both ducked or neither ducked
If this was khan there would be masses of threads claiming how he is ducking, but because it is Bradley everyone seems to be ignoring the fact he is refusing to fight alexander?

Great question, seriously i really dont know why! Putting a fight together is all about timing and they both look ready for the fight to happen now, I dont mind waiting but the fight might lose a lot of appeal by the time Bradley wants it.
am also hearing it might have something to do with Alexander working with Don King(HBO dont seem to want to work with King) but wasnt his(Devon) last fight against Urango on HBO?
Joel Diaz(Bradleys Trainer) said Tim could beat Khan, Ortiz and Pacquiao. But for some reason he didn't mention Devon Alexander's name. hmmmmmmmmmmm
haha so true
Bradley and Alexander are head and shoulders above everyone else in the LWW division if you take Manny out of the picture but as a fan I would prefer to see them clean up the rest of the division and fight the likes of Ortiz,Maidana and Khan. Demonstrate their dominance then have the big show down in much the same way as Manny and Floyd are cleaning up and heading for their hopefull match up.
Bradley also does not have the same kind of history of cherry picking as Khan and this is his first offence if you like so he is not going to get the same kind of flak as a habitual offender with a long record of ducks.
