    When Tim ends up fighting Bundrage instead of Gavin, we'll talk

      I dont know what Bradley is doing with his career.
      I heard through the the g**** vine that although Bradley is arguably one of the most dedicated boxers with the most heart right now, he is and is still planning on retiring for good in the next few years. Not that that is early for any boxer or anything, it's actually the smartest thing he could do. I almost get the feeling sometimes Bradley just stays as dedicated as possible to his craft but leaves his fights and career in the hands of Top Rank, content on being the best he can be and trusting TR for looking out for his career. He has sealed his place as a hall of famer, maybe he is just letting the professionals at TR work on garnering him the most money while preserving his career.

        And I've been giving him **** all day for not taking the Brook fight but this Bradley situation is clearly not his fault.

          Khan vs Brook will happen before Thurmann vs Brook

          Neither man is going to lose to Algeri or Chaves.

            Nowhere does it say that Tim Bradley accepted. Because he didn't.

            Khan has been shouting out Bradley for weeks and there's been no willing response from anyone on Bradley's side.

            He's been trying to get a fight with Cotto and now Bumdrage.

              I feel like Brook vs Khan needs to get built up a little more. Let them solidify their presence at 147 a little longer

                So......did Khan not just turn down the fight or what? Bradley fighting Gavin is a joke. Moving up in weight period is a joke, so fighting K9 is not the worst thing that he could do at 154. He should really be back at 140 but I doubt that ever happens.

                Khan should prepare for Algieri, he thinks it will be an easy bout but he might catch a raw deal.

                  Yeah, when you think about it, Its not Khans fault but he HAD to call Bardley's bluff IMO. The contract isnt signed for the Algieri fight.. They dont even have a location or network set. Its just a verbal agreement but he wasnt bound to it, his reasoning for the Algieri fight is going to be that he shared the ring with Pacquiao, Bradley has a win over Pacquiao, and would have made more sense since "My opponent headlined with Pacquiao" will be his selling point to justify his choice.


                  Its also hilarious how he accused Brook of cherry picking for fighting his ordered mandatory, and turns around, turns down an ordered eliminator, and cherry picks his opponent.. lol Khan makes this too easy.

                    Secondly you know Khan isnt going to sit around waiting for Bradley to make up his mind. Top Rank and Al Haymon will need to sit down and negotiate. That is even if Bradley has any interest in fighting Khan, and judging by his past actions, he couldnt care less for Khan.

                    Also Khans already in camp and aiming to fight by the end of May early June, otherwise he'll be waiting around until December. I dont think he wants to be out of the ring for 12 months like the last time.

                    You are being a **** on purpose, we all know why though..
                    Why is that ******ed? Have you ever seen any of them fight? Dan is a tough awkward southpaw. Just because Brook stopped him with ease, doesn't mean he's a bum. Especially compared to Algieri of all people.

                    So basically what you're saying is that because Khan is this late announcing a fight it's ok to fight a guy that's not even in the top 20 at WW.

                    You remember him giving Mayweather a deadline in January?

                    Ffs he's had more than two months to negotiate a fight with someone legit.
