    I don't think he will take a Thurman/Maidana/Porter fight for the rest of his career. And especially not before facing Mayweather.
    I can see your point about Bradley, he fits the feather fisted category but he is a harder fight than Algieri. Khan wants the easiest fight that there is and Algieri fits the bill.

    Its possible he fights Bradley instead i suppose but i can't see it. He will fight Algieir next or at best Broner.

      Al Gaymon didnt want to make this fight

      and never told Khan

      Just goes to show Al Haymon doesnt want to do biz with TR after the Floyd fight

      Khan is one of his money makers, he's protecting him

      Khan wud have took that Tim fight in a heartbeat

      Al Haymon = scum

        I think they believe Khan can beat anyone in a boxing match. As in, as long as they are not facing a massive puncher, Khan would win. Which might be the case, it's very hard to outbox someone as quick as Khan.

        I think he'd beat Bradley, and I think Khan thinks he'd beat Bradley too.

            Bradley as an opponent makes sense but the eliminator doesn't. Brook is desperate for the fight so why would Khan fight to become mandatory which will just put him in a weaker position if he wants the fight later?

                  If khan beats Bradley he would defiantly be in the super fight sweep stakes

                  Khans team are doing a terrible job with him at the moment

                    If Khan fought Bradley, he would legitimately deserve Kell Brook.

                    Considering he hasn't beaten a top contender since Maidana in 2010, I think he should see himself as lucky he's even in the mentioning.

                      The media can easily find out who is lying in this case. But they'd rather not dig a bit deeper. Who did the IBF ref talk to? Was it Haymon? Who?

                      Sadly, the media just leaves things hanging.
