    I don't think Bradley is afraid of Khan. Like you, I think he knows Khan is a threat and he didn't want to risk the Pacquaio fight.

    Hopefully that fight can still happen somewhere down the line. Both are still young.
    I doubt it does, unless TR and GBP make amends. It's sad that we've come to a situation in boxing that because due to what seems like a promotional beef, we may not end up seeing fights like Broner-M. Garcia, Mares-Donaire, Bradley-Khan, Alvarez-Chavez (as much as I hate to admit it, it's still an interesting fight for sure).

      prime vs prime at welter?

      it would have been a lot closer...Shane would have won some rounds, but if i had to bet, i'd still pick Floyd on points

        ^^^This.

        It wouldn't have been 119-109/118-110, but I could still see it being a comfortable UD for Floyd (116-112/117-111) with Shane having a little more success.

          If Shane lands the same bomb in 2000 that he landed on Floyd in 2010, Floyd doesn't see the 3rd round.

            Depends I think the first fight might have been wide, the rematch would have been closer like you are saying. He always did better in teh rematch but not enough to get over the hump.

            I assume there would be a rematch as with all Mosley's primeish loses.

              But Floyd's reflexes in 2006-2007 were also better than they were in 2010, Floyd did slow a bit after his long layoff. He's still really good, but he's not prime.

              But it wouldn't be a legit win with Shane on PED's.

              As much as I like Roy Jones Jr as well, he and Shane should take some sort of hit when it comes to the HOF.

                Why not?

                Would Floyd suddenly not be able to hold anymore? Would he suddenly not know how to survive like he's shown he has great ability to do so? Would he just stand there and get knocked out because it's a prime Shane?

                I think that argument's ******, personally.

                If Floyd got hit like that by a prime Shane, he would stagger, stumble, hold, defend and survive.

                  It wasn't so much that Floyd was lazy on reflexes, he was throwing a hook in close and Shane countered over top immediately with the short right. Floyd would've been Adrian Stone'd I'm tellin ya.

                    yup...it would have been close enough to have morons on NSB with 'Shane Got Robbed' threads...

                    i think the opposite...a first fight would have been closer than a rematch...first fight Shane shows off his arsenal/gameplan...2nd fight, Floyd's figured it out

                      And come out to prove a point the next round, just like he did when they did fight.
