So Bradley's ledger isn't Murderers Row, huh? It's more than slightly better than Khan's, so I guess Khan's is Delinquents Row, a little way off Petty Crook Row.
Like I said, we can analyze it win for win, for meaningfulness and level of difficulty, if you wish. But the short version is, prime Holt + Witter and Peterson >>> slow, no-punch Kotelnik + faded, even less punch Malignaggi (I won't even count Salita, since I left off Cherry and Nate for Bradley). If we go through all the names there is simply a lot more depth, substance and difficulty level in Bradley's run of opposition.
And Bradley hardly went life and death with Kendall, that's some fictionalized Dirky bull**** - he won comfortably, even with the 2 KD's against him in the bookending stanzas (which latter shouldn't deceive you into thinking that he didn't fully control that fight).
Salita was mando, yeah? But so's Maidana, though, so how come all this talk about Maidana being contracted to keep well away from Khan for the forseeable future by their shared stable/TV network?
Oh, yeah, silly me - Maidana can punch a bit and is a risk, unlike the JWW yiddish answer to John Duddy over there.
Finally, it's not Bradley's name so much that I give him a pass for wanting to build up, but the Bradley-Alexander fight itself - those 2 guys are clearly the best in the division, Khan hasn't done anything to prove he's a 3rd guy in that equation, so when that fight does go down it should be with the most dough on the table possible - risk/reward, and that's why both would ideally love a crack at Khan, because the risk from him is lower than the risk from each other, and the reward is higher.

He isn't even going to be fighting Maidana inside the next year, I'd bet on it.
It's not even an issue for the immediate future, because they aren't about to put him in that mix. GBP's running scared from these dudes. They're hiding Maidana away from Bradley, and they're about to try and feed Marquez to Khan after Amir's projected July date and continue to play the deck from there. And they're banking on one of Bradley and Alexander cancelling the other out, or both running themselves down in the meantime.
Like I said, if Khan faces Maidana in the Fall, I'll happily be proved wrong and eat my words - I'll be delighted!
