Bradley To Be Stripped of WBC Title
First topic message reminder :
Just been looking on the Sky Sports app on my phone which I can't cut and paste from, but it seems Khan is not alone in his belief that Tim Bradley should be stripped of his titles. Bradley hasn't fought since January and is yet to defend the WBC title he won from Alexander, with no opponent lined up. He is involved in a legal wrangle with his promotors having pulled out of a verbally agreed deal to fight khan this month, and is now unlikely to fight again this year. Meanwhile Erik Morales has petitioned the WBC to have his fight with Jorge Barrios on the mayweather Ortiz undercard as a bout for Bradleys title (Crolla it seems has been bumped out of the picture). Sulaiman (a fellow Mexican) has apparently sanctioned this, with an announcement pending.
Khan has already made noise about fighting morales - if El Terrible lands himself the WBC title you can guarantee it'll happen. So, having already won an IBF strap from Judah that rightfully belonged to Bradley, khan could now do the same with the WBC. It seems that, due to boxing politics and Bradleys promotional issues and inactivity Khan could well go on to be undisputed champion at 140lb without ever having to face TB. Bradley and Khan are both great talents and should be facing off, Bradley needs to get his act together or he will find his career ebbing away - he's not a popular fighter as it is which hinders his clout at the negotiating table, his titles redeem that but if he ends up losing them all outside the ring he'll end up with nothing but hus unbeaten record to hang his hat on, while khan mops up his mess and rakes all the glory.

Marquez has faced his mandatory challengers though, hasn't he?
