Trainer Freddie Roach was far from impressed with Timothy Bradley's recent welterweight debut. Bradley moved up to the welterweight division to win a twelve round decision over Carlos Abregu. Roach would like to see his champion, Amir Khan, face Bradley in the ring. After what Roach saw the other night, he says Khan would destroy Bradley in a fight. Khan has a return date set for December 11.
After Bradley beat Abregu, he challenged another champion trained by Roach, Manny Pacquiao. Roach agrees with the recent comments made by Devon Alexander's manager/trainer, Kevin Cunningham, and says the two fighters should not even be mentioned in the same sentence. He sees Pacquiao putting Bradley away in one round.
"Timothy Bradley looked like a bum. He is a good 140-pound fighter though. I would like to match him up with Amir Khan. Amir would destroy him, but Manny Pacquiao would knockout Bradley in one round. Bradley had an ordinary guy in front of him the other night, and he wasn't able to do anything with him. I was a little disappointed in the commentary in that fight, there was no action in that fight. Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao? A joke, not even in the same class," Roach said to 8countnews.com.
