      Definitely isn't acting like it.
      Err, no. I'd rather Thurman or Bradley.

      But Rios ain't a bad fight, Carson Jones exploited weaknesses that I could see Rios capitalise on.

      The fight I and basically everyone else wants is Khan but everyone with a functioning brain knows that Khan's just ducked him.

        Guys like Mike Alvarado, Bradley, Provo and other TR fighters must be green with envy with these fake ass champions. TR fighters don't have the luxury of holding on to their belts because they don't have long lines of bums waiting for them. No wonder, everyone is signing up with Haymon. Hearns is even worse.

          If Khan didn't duck him he wouldn't be fighting on May 30th.
          No, I get it. He's ducking Bradley to have a "stay busy" fight with Gavin. In hopes he secures the "mega fight" with Brandon Rios.

          Look, I like Brook. I think a fight between him and bradley is a toss up. (More like 60/40 for Bradley). Brook shouldn't be worried about deciding the next year or two around a khan fight. Keep it moving and carve out your own lane. The khan fight will always be there.

            .....For a stay busy fight on an undercard.

            Why are you acting like that isn't relevant to the situation?

            If it wasn't a stay busy fight you'd have a point.

              Brook was dominating jones early in the fight

              Brook had his worst camp ever for that fight

              Brook may not have an inside game but he's strong and can clinch

              Rios has slow feet and won't be able to get inside

              Whereas maidana can

                Bradley was certainly available...and I think there is nothing in the way from their manager/promotions companies working together.

                Brook and Khan are playing the same game. I don't know who to believe.
                With Thurman, Haymon is taking his time with him as well. I don't expect a top 10 opponent for him either.

                Brook, Khan, and Thurman will all be facing guys that are pretenders not contenders.

                  So when should he fight Bradley?

                      Bradley is gonna retire soon
                      He's talked about doing so and at the end of his top rank contract

                      His heart is not in it anymore

                      And he's had some tough fights vs Ruslan and pacquaio

                      But they say every great fighter has one last big performance in them

                      We'll see if Bradley has one left
