Victor Ortiz would be a good fight. The reason I want that fight is so Berto doesn't keep fighting JWW. I read in an article with Bradley that HBO had it in the contract that he gets a fight before July 2nd, so I don't think he'll wait til the Khan fight is done. Whoever Tim fights it won't be a tune up type fight, that just doesn't seem like the way Bradley likes to operate.

No announcement yet.
So with Khan fighting McCloskey in April, who should Bradley fight in the interim?

Timmy has earned a rest, but he's also a throwback and a gym-rat. He loves to fight. He's old school and I'm sure he'd be happy to get back in there and take someone down before squaring off with Khan. We're assuming that fight will be made without a hitch in the summer; it may not be the case. I don't mind who he fights. I think the suggestion of building his fanbase is a good one; Katsidis would make for a very eye-pleasing fight and would go someway towards boosting Bradley's profile and reappealing to any new viewers that would've been let down by the Alexander fight. He could fight a big mouth like Brandon Rios or someone like Matthysee (very eyepleasing fight). Hell, a Joan Guzman would be perfect prep for Khan's speed, albeit a bit more of a risky fight.

Despite it going against Bradley's preference to take on top contenders.

I don't see it being Berto or Ortiz or anyone like that... Forget Clottey, he fights at 154 exclusively now... I know Tim is tough and likes to take on the best, but he needs a non-grueling fight, before the 2+ million dollar payday with Khan...

Peterson, was his mandatory.
Anything else?
McClosky's a step down for Khan, what's your point?

Arum may feed him, weight-drained, to Bradley to coax Timothy into joining Top Rank.
