    Bradley's next fight will likely be Khan, Matthysse or Ortiz

    There's many options. It's just a matter of which fight will give him more options in the long run. Assuming Matthysse beats Alexander impressively, Bradley will have the opportunity to face him while Khan faces Judah. Both will then be unified champions, and can fight later on this year for all four major titles.

    Bradley could also face Ortiz for the WBC WW title, which could land him a shot at Manny or Floyd, or a big fight with Khan.

    The third option would obviously be go for Khan now, which would prove he's the best at the weight, but then what? I'm willing to bet a month's paycheck that this would put him in the same position as after the Alexander fight. However he may very well be forced to take this option anyways.

    So stop b**ching about this ducking nonsense. All three of these fights are equally challenging, and they could all easily beat eachother. Its funny how all of you people were accusing him of ducking Alexander because of money, but look what happened now lol it's a little trick called leaving yourself available. He's weighing out the options. The smartest choice would be fight Matthysse for 1.3 mill, then Khan in the Fall for even more money, but it's also risky because Matthysse could easily lose to Devon.

      I see where you're coming from, but that's about as accurate as saying all title holders must fight their mandatory. They make exceptions. HBO isn't ******. They're gonna do what is best for them, and if they see an opportunity that can make them richer, they will take it.

          According to some people here, the contract says his next fight has to be Khan, Maidana, Berto or an Alexander rematch. If that's true, I'm pretty sure HBO will make the exception for a Bradley-Matthysse fight. I mean Matthysse technically beat Judah and should be champion right now. And he's looked much more impressive than Maidana recently. Plus a win over Alexander would make him a top fighter in the division.

          I say make Khan-Judah in July, Bradley-Matthysse in September and Bradley-Khan in December. HBO will have no choice but to cough up more money.
