              I would have really liked to see Bradley-Maidana and Bradley-Khan in 2010-2011. Bradley-Maidana was at one point negotiated but Maidana had to pull out due to a back injury. Style wise Bradley-Maidana would have been a war, although I feel Tim probably would have fought a more disciplined fight than his approach against Provodnikov. I always felt Maidana was very underrated for most of his time as an active fighter, and though I wouldn't pick him over Tim I 'm confident he would have been very competitive and dangerous throughout.

              Bradley-Khan was very publicly negotiated and even sounded like a done deal at times, but promotional disputes with Gary Shaw led Bradley to join Top Rank and pursue Pacquiao instead. A lot of people feel Bradley ducked Khan, I personally don't take anything said publicly about negotiations at face value and in any case I wouldn't call a guy "ducking" when he goes to fight the #1 p4p guy instead, but I still think it's a huge shame we never got Bradley-Khan to settle who was the best at 140 when both were in their primes. As division rivals they had an intriguing style matchup, with Bradley being a jack-of-all-trades fighter who lacked "flash" but still got the job done, and Khan being a very specialized physical specimen with his extraordinary hand speed. Up until Bradley fought Pacquiao, he had never faced a guy with hand speed comparable to Khan's, and we all know that speed kills. I don't believe either fighter would have knocked the other guy out if they had fought, and my opinion is that if they fought it would be a strafey, tactical figght that I would favor Bradley to win on his footwork.

                  ... in fact, Dirrell and Ward were "buddies", back then... Ward accepted to fight at an upper weight class at the Olympics in Athens, only in order to protect his buddy Andre...

                    Guerrero vs Broner, even though they met face-to-face in a parking lot agreeing to fight each other. Broner's parting shot to Robert, "Send the contract over and I'll sign it."
                    (The video is still on youtube.)

                    Dana White would have made that fight at the drop of a hat.

                    Broner vs Matthysse, even though they called out each other after experiencing their respective loses to Maidana and Garcia.
                    "Hope he's not joking," quipped Lucas.

                    It never happened. Matthysse left Haymon and signed back to GBP.

                    Charlo twins vs Lara, even though they're all title holders and with the same uncle at PBC. They all preferred to fight cans.

                    Charlo vs Jacobs, even though Jacobs called Jermall's BS at a venue's exit hall.

                    Lara vs Andrade, even though Andrade was hanging out at Showtiime waiting for offers. Lara preferred to fight Gausha.

                    Haymon is a huge cancer.
