    It's an easy money tuneup for the hometown crowd. Bradley in the summer is the fight that has to be made.

      It's a showcase for his fans in the UK. Just like Zavec's doing against Delgado in a few weeks.

      Just staying busy and looking good in front of his fans, why the **** are you guys mad at Amir for taking a tuneup inbetween Maidana and Bradley?

        Step down, then steps up to fight Bradley afterwards. No issues.

            It's a good fight and will be good for the fans in Manchester. Can't wait for the big Bradley fight after this.

              Nothing wrong with taking a tune up, but he should have at least fought Prescott if he was looking for a tune up and get a little revenge. I like Khan, but I can't help but think that KO loss is still affecting him and he will only fight Prescott if he really has to.

                Who's angry, I think it's fine as long as he keeps his word and fights Bradley in the summer.

                  Staying busy against a top 10 fighter in the div. Not an issue providing Tim's next up.

                    Did Manny need Hatton? Face it, all fighters have to take some easy fights here and there. He's young, why fight Bradly then move up to Mayweather right away and get schooled. We seen what happened when they rushed Vargas to fight the great champions. Someone has to take notes sometime.
