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

[Dave Rado]

I don't get it??Like I said you and I don't know what's going to happen..Bradley is not signed yet bro let's see what happens..

I don't know what's going to happen but what he said today is indefensible and just makes him look terrible.

What if Manny and Floyd don't fight Bradley? Then who will he fight? He said he is fighting for his family which means he is fighting for money, so why would he not accept a fight with Kahn that would give him his biggest pay day ever? If Floyd wins in Sep and offers to fight him I will understand but if he waits till next year and ends up fighting a tune up waiting for Floyd and Manny he will look dumb.

Bradley is ducking Chavez Jr!!! Oh **** wrong thread.

He won't look dumb because he will now be signed and secured with the top promoting company...and if pac and floyd don't fall threw...Khan is still gonna be there, as well as other top fighters in the division...it all depends on who he signs with..

most likely the condition this time is a long period of inactivity. this will assure he becomes another rusty clown to become pac circuss's next main attraction.

Are you serious, an unconditioned Manny can easily beat Bradley even with full training. I'm a fan of Bradley too, but still i find him not winning with both Floyd and Manny, and i think Bradley thinks the same, that's why he is trying to cash it out now. So even if he looses the fight at 147lbs, Bradley will just go back down to 140 and go for Khan.

If Bradley sorts out his contractual issues and ends up on the Pac/JMM undercard then this really becomes a non issue...its no secret that Bradley wants a deal with Top Rank and wants the biggest fight he can in Pac but Gary Shaw is making this process as problematic as possible...

Now who knows how his contract is going atm but whats to say that if he does sort out his contract he doesn't end up on the Pac undercard either against a 147 tuneup or say against Mike Jones with the winner taking a fight against Pac...Arum has mentioned them both as possible opponents in 2012 and Bradley would be a better proposition than say Aydin...two unbeaten American fighters with the with winner fighting Pac makes sense...

Therefore this Pac won't be fighting till 2012 argument is correct but only if you presume Bradley won't fight someone first...its not as simple as either/or...there appears to be a 147 roadmap in place if this contract comes off and Khan is not part of it...many make the career high payday argument against Khan but the fact remains that Bradley wanted to leave Shaw and a fight against Pac offers more reward than a fight against Khan...

If Bradley doesn't land a contract with Top Rank and doesn't get onto that undercard when his contractual issues are sorted then I would fully expect him to fight Khan...hes searching for the biggest fight in Pac and if it doesn't happen then Khan is the next biggest fight...

If this road to Pac falls through and Bradley still refuses to fight Khan then I will be the first person calling it a duck...currently however especially with Bradley's contractual issues it is hard to say with certainty what will happen...I just hope for Bradley that he can sort out his issues and get onto that Pac/JMM undercard...

So please explain to me...why is Floyd saying he wants to fight Khan and talking to the press about the Khan fight etc?

Sure he is speaking to the UK press to sell the Ortiz fight but the fact of the matter is NEITHER Pac or May have mentioned Bradley to the extent Floyd has named Khan.

I know man, Leaduppercut either is just a troll, or very very ****** and ignorant. I'm really not sure which.

GB have already confirmed they've spoken to Floyd about the Khan fight, and May has in principle agreed to it. Although, nothing is signed. This is not news, everybody knows this.

I have NEVER heard Mayweather even mention Khan as a potential opponent until replying to leading questions by UK journalists within the last couple of weeks. Schaefer and Khan have both recently stated that a fight between Khan and Mayweather would not take place until late 2012.

Bradley was mentioned as early as the Marquez fight, and offered as a possible opponent if they could not secure Mosley. He may have even been mentioned in passing before then.

In terms of landing a big payday, Bradley has twice as much chance as Khan.

Bob Arum has mentioned Bradley as a potential opponent for Pacquiao.

He has never mentioned Khan, and Amir will not fight Manny anyways.

[LeadUppercut]

How about you answer this one?

Either fighter can lose and simply rematch at 147 in 12 months, putting them back on track and then Bradley wouldn't get stripped like a pu55y.

Timmy is saying he's gonna just sit on his ass.

Then he's gonna be bawling and crying about how he's so hard done by and he's number one and wait until Khan meets him at 147 blah blah

Playing the media game as if he's built the rep that Floyd built in 11 years and 39 fights in just 7 years of boxing and 27 fights?

The man is pathetic.

So tell me, Rome, can either lose and rematch at 147 to rebuild their rep?

Is that what Timmy's so scared of?

If Bradley lands a fight with either Pacquiao or Mayweather, you will never mention this subject again, even after being repeatedly reminded by me

If that happens, and Bradley loses, he will challenge Khan, and Khan will refuse the fight, because he will not take the risk of impairing his shot at Mayweather

You are thinking like a fan, which is fine, but suggesting to Tim that he do the same, is unreasonable.

Tim is #1 in line, nobody has even suggested a viable alternative or more qualified opponent for either Pac or May, than Tim Bradley.

How many fighters manage to work their way into a potential Pac/May fight ?

Why should he risk that phenomenal payday because you wish it so ?

The timing was wrong.

Bradley would take that fight if he loses to Pac or May.

[LeadUppercut]

That's true, despite what has been said, there is no way of knowing if Khan will ever fight Floyd. But it appears to be on the cards. But still, Floyd was surprisingly open to fighting Khan, that is quite rare for Floyd. But its far from certain.

Also, a Bradley fight with Pac? It's possible of course, but ever since Floyd signed up to fight Ortiz, it appears as though Arum is more keen on matching Pac with Jones, to show PAC is also willing to fight a young dangerous WW.

I might be wrong, but I really think Arum is just reeling Bradley in with a promise, this is just speculation, but Arum could easily be tricking Bradley. We know Arum isn't exactly the most trustworthy dude around. Its a bit of a risk for Bradley if you ask me.

The thing is, the longer Bradley is out of the boxing eye, the less likely he is to get a PAC fight.

What, like Margarito ?

Do you really think that Bob Arum agree's with your analysis ?

Bradley is on his hustle he wants a mega fight with the best he deserves a fight with Pacquiao first Mayweather down the line
