    That's like being given a $10 million ticket in a casino and instead of going to cash it in, you go play a hand of poker and risk blowing it all.
    I agree. This all seems really simple to me.

    Tim did the right thing by not fighting khan and making a deal with TR to get a Manny fight after a Casamayor fight (which is really a sparring session).

    Khan, should he not fight devon because he has a deal for a floyd fight in place, would also doing the right thing.

      Yea, the premise is very comparable. Because before any information was leaked through the media (ding ding), you flat out bashed Tim because you are an Amir Khan fan. Now, with Amir suddenly changing his mind regarding a fight with Devon, you have a "wait and see approach", it's laughable.
      And its funny to me because Bradley never even negotiated with Khan because he was already in the process of leaving Shaw who no longer had rights to him. Khan and his team have spent all this time reaching a deal to fight Alexander but now they wanna walk away because they are scared Devon will derail the Mayweather shot.

        Why do you keep saying this when it's a bull****? Bradley signed with Top Rank, he didn't sign a two fight deal. Don't you remember the likes of Cotto being offered the fight before Bradley? Bradley was a reserve in case the bigger fights didn't get made.

          No, I'm not. But carry on. Maybe when I get finished with some work, I'll bring up a few reminders for you.

Bradley has a megafight lined up with the second biggest draw in the sport and is able and earn good money. This will also open doors for future megafights with Juan Manuel Marquez, a rematch with Pacquiao and maybe a Mayweather fight.. Khan should wait patiently like a good ol boy.

              Khan didn't need to wait for Bradley or even fight Bradley in the first place because he was the bigger name.

              Devon Alexander needs Khan.

                You can ask Rome. I had the bets in my sig, ready for the fight to go. Bradley went live on HBO telling Khan to "stop running" so I didn't think he'd b1tch out. Little did I know...

                  Khan needed the Bradley fight bad to legitimatize his cornball career after Prescott ripped his head off. Maybe he should have sought a fight with Bradley sooner and not have been fighting Paul McCloskey.

                    Khan didn't need Bradley whatsoever. Bradley is a nobody, even now. He's an opponent.

                      I didn't say it was a 2 fight deal did I? Stop the BS. when he signed with TR there was every indication he was getting a pac fight after a tune up. Thats why I have no problem with tim nor the decision he made.
