Comments Thread For: Bradley: Forget Khan, I Want Pacquiao and Mayweather

[Ray*]

Funny how Khan should be the one saying this..

[Gino Ros]

WBO/WBC junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley has no immediate urge to fight WBA/IBF champion Amir Khan. Bradley, currently involved in a legal dispute with his former promoters Gary Shaw and Thompson Boxing, is waiting on the birth of his next child and then he expects to get in the ring by the end of the year or early 2012, but it won't be against Khan. Bradley wants the big money fights against the biggest names in the sport, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Good deal, Tim. I respect this.

You are the top fighter at 140. It makes sense for you to go after the Best fighter, Mayweather, and the #3 fighter, Pacquiao.

#2 Sergio Martinez is too big for you, since you haven't fought at JMW.

[QADASHBANYAH]

Again, before Floyd and Pac started making the money they are making now they had to fight all kinds of fighters to get their stats up.

TRUE INDEED!!!!! Head butting your way to a win over Devon Alexander, who has looked like **** his last 3 fights, in an arena with less people in it then were in my basement watching the fight, is not gonna get you anything. He needs a plan. Maybe this is why he is leaving Shaw.

Beat Khan, move up and beat Zaveck (on a Manny or floyd ppv) then next year Berto/Vic/Zab then angle for the floyd or pac fight.

Hes gonna fight manny before floyd... Watch its already in the works.... The man isnt holding out for nothing hes been promised just as margarito was promised a fight by team pacquiao and arum.....

Now come on JROSALES, how did the man duck khan??? The man wants to fight arguably two fighters that are simply better than khan. The man wants to get paid, I cant knock him for that at all. Everyone knows what he's trying to do and what hes been trying to do... Hes been trying to get that pacquiao fight and thats no secret...

Now whether people say its for the money or whatever they would be right... HES A PRIZE FIGHTER!!!

WITH A NEW BORN CHILD!!!

THE MAN IS LOOKING OUT FOR THE WELL BEING OF HIS FAMILY. He knows that he and khan can meet up later this is common sense. But to call the man a ducker when hes lookking to fight better opposition for more money is ludicrous at best....

Hell I read somewhere on here that Tim said a fight with him and pacquiao was promised. This reminds me of the margarito vs manny fight. People were like hell naw, I doubt it who has margarito beaten since he was caught cheating??

and lo and behold this is exactly what happened....

Now I ask you, you have a newborn child, you fight for a living.... DO YOU FIGHT AMIR KHAN OR MANNY PACQUIAO???

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? PLUS THE MAN HAS LEGAL ISSUES RIGHT NOW WITH HIS FORMER PROMOTIONAL COMPANY.....

I know boxing is about what the fans want to see, but real talk if it was me, I would do the same thing and so would you...

If he fought Khan he'd have about $1 mil (after taxes and exspenses) in his bank account right now for that newborn baby. Even if he is promised a pac fight, the lawsuit he is fighting may cost him significantly.

SOunds like it. But Tim had better be careful.

[millcitymauler]

What did JMM do at WW to earn a shot at May??

What did he do? He fought Manny on even terms twice. And it doesn't matter anyways, because Marquez wasn't begging or scheming for a fight with Floyd...Floyd chose him. Floyd gets to do that as a privilege of rank. I seriously can't understand any of your arguments today regarding Bradley.

[b0ndsj0ns20]

I like Bradley as a fighter. I hate that he is doing this, but I can understand after the Alexander fiasco why he is hesitant to fight Khan. That fight turned out to be a dud, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a huge fight between 2 young, undefeated champions that was supposed to propel one to the next level. Problem is Bradley won the fight pretty clearly and really got little credit for it and got no bump in his status. He probably know if he fights Khan it's a 50-50 fight. He loses and his career is really set back to the point it can probably never completely recover, and if he wins it will probably be in ugly fashion and people will continue to not care because he's not a flashy big puncher.

Now I ask you, you have a newborn child, you fight for a living.... DO YOU FIGHT AMIR KHAN OR MANNY PACQUIAO???

If I was confident of beating Khan I would take the Khan fight collect my career high payday then have more chips to bring to the table to fight Pac thus earning a better deal in that fight and getting another much bigger career high payday.

If I was not confident about beating Khan I wouldn’t want to risk losing out on a possible pay day with Pac so I would avoid Khan and hope i get a nice big cash out cheque in a fight that i will inevitably lose.

No he was a b!tch made fa&&ot because floyd was calling him out and he had to get his tooth fixed. Then he watched floyd beat ODH with no streroidsand had to beg to make $7 mil. Serves him right for being a punk a$$ beyotch.

Every true boxing fan who has been watching the sport for a long time knows Shane ducked Floyd when Floyd was at 130 and wanted the fight when Shane was at 135. Shane opted to go for Oscar (which was a great move on his part) but after shane still neglected to fight Floyd and moved aside for Oscar to fight him and then tried to say Floyd was ducking him when Floyd went to Shane/Vargas 2 to try and secure the fight. when I first saw Shane fight I thought he was the best there was at the time but his business decisions stagnated him big time. He was supposed to have Floyd and Pac begging to fight him but he never cared much about the biz and let others crap on his career in some aspects. Mosley should have been where Oscar was/is. Bradley is taking that route. Being confident is good but too confident stops you from progressing sometimes and not fighting Khan is a bad business decision on his part.
