    Thing about Bradley, it's hard to imagine (in hind-sight of course now that Peterson's beat him), he would've had any reservations about facing Khan.

    I really think his decision not to fight him was based on his desire to sign with TR, and the fact by doing so, the Khan fight simply could not get made (because God forbid TR ever work with GBP or vice versa).

    In that sense, you wonder if Khan wasn't actually calling Bradley's bluff, somehow knowing he would turn down the fight if they thought he planned to sign with TR.

    What's hilarious is if Khan thought he'd be able to best Bradley by beating Peterson more impressively. That sure didn't pan out.

    That's the old Haye routine, "I beat him sexier than he did" etc.

    The question now is, how would GB be able to sell a fight with Khan against Mayweather as CREDIBLE???...

    Because even if Khan avenges his loss, most fans even in Britain now realize he's not as good as he was advertised.

    You don't understand, Referee Cooper, whom nobody had ever heard of, only made Amir look like he wasn't ready. The truth is that he is ready. He is more than ready to get a career best payday and a career worst beat....woah, sorry, he his more than ready to expose Floyd. :nono:

    Hmm, Zab was supposed to beat Baldomir easy, he loses. Floyd fights Baldomir.

    Berto was supposed to beat Ortiz easy, he loses, Floyd fights Ortiz.

    Khan was supposed to beat Peterson easy, he loses. Expect to see an offer made to Peterson right away.

    Agreed. Floyd is opportunistic in a different way than usual.

    He'll fight scrubs coming off good wins, so his groupies can say "Flid only fightz guyz coming off winz!!", "And they're really goodz!", "Baldomirz is so big and strongz!", "Ortiz is hungry young lion crapz!".

    If not Alvarez, then it's Peterdude for sure.

    Rios/Khan definitely IS a solid matchup, there is a question of who would win... when there is a question, the matchup is SOLID
