signing on the line that is dotted, it has been quickly been labelled as a stay-busy fight with Timothy Bradley the main fight for 2011.

However boxing politics may soon come right into play from both parties involved in that unification fight.

As written on bradley vs khan live stream  a couple of day's ago. It's no secret that Bradley's contract with current promoter Gary Shaw will expire. And with a hot shot manager such as Cameron Dunkin representing Bradley in the market place, we forecasted that over the coming weeks all of the top tier promoters will throw their name into the hat for consideration.

Shaw has already seen Nonito Donaire join Top Rank after he stretched out Darchinyan and then failed to get a meaningful fight for one reason or another. Knockout jail bird James Kirkland has also been assisted via Dunkin, as he jumped ship from Shaw to Goldenboy Promotions.

So with a stable of 140lb fighters such as Amir Khan, Victor Ortiz and agreements in place with Marcos Maidana - you'd think it would be inevitable that Bradley would join GBP and become a name on their merry go round of light-welter fighters.

Wrong.

The biggest name has already been thrown into Bradley's hat in the last couple of days. Top Rank's Bob Arum has already stated that should Timothy come and join Top Rank then he will build his profile and make a fight with Manny Pacquiao. No ifs nor buts.

"If you asked me if we would want Tim Bradley to become a Top Rank fighter, the answer, certainly, is yes." Arum was quoted.

Already we have seen Bradley's comments that he believes Pacquiao is beatable, that he is the same size and that Manny's been "fighting stiffs" lately.

Arum knows Manny cannot feast on opponent's whose star is in the decent. Pacquiao now needs someone on the way up to the top. And Timothy Bradley is widely regarded as the main man now at 140lb and has himself had one or two forays in the 147lb welterweight limit as an amateur and pro.

The public disdain between Oscar De La Hoya and Bob Arum is there for all to see and their relationship took turns for the worse as tweets and public spats broke out across the internet. Make no mistake these guys are fierce rivals.

And when Bradley DOES eventually join Top Rank, this will be the stumbling block that will prevent a Khan unification.

Without Bradley on the horizon, Khan will be desperately short of legitimate options in the division. Feasting on Bradley's left overs, such as Devon Alexander or Junior Witter will be not be attractive to HBO nor SKY.

Arum will not wish to risk his '0' against Khan if he has a promotional plan for Bradley in the pipeline.

But even still, we could yet see Andre Berto clash with Bradley with the winner afforded a Pacquiao shot. Promoted by Top Rank obviously.

But whatever happens with Bradley aside, Amir Khan's future is uncertain until Bradley decides which route he is going to follow.

Although Khan likes to fight in the UK, he’ll have to make this one in the U.S. if he wants to try and build a following here. This will be a very big fight for Khan, because it will give him three of the title belts in his possession should he beat Bradley.
