Comments Thread For: Freddie Roach Talks Khan vs. Bradley, Khan vs. Marquez

[Siggy]

Being tall doesn't always mean a boxer is bigger in a natural weight sense. I'm 5'11 - 6 foot, and my natural weight is only light middle. Khan being huge is a myth. He has always been very skinny.

this aint a body building contest. size in boxing = height, length and range. bradley has midget proportions.
if you wanna say that bradley is physically stronger than khan, i'd agree.
but as far as boxing goes, khan is bigger than bradley.

Come on, do you blame Freddie Roach. Having Khan fight Bradley at this stage would be throwing him to the wolves. Only a handful of fights ago Khan was knocked out! Now you chastise Roach for not wanting to fight Bradley right away. Give the kid a break! Have him fight Paulie and get a gauge of where he's at. He may need a few more fights to be even close to Timothy. Bradley is the BEST 140 lber and a tough outting for anyone at 140 and even 147...

Ok there's a lot of good comp out there for khan.But roach wants him to fight the feather fisted magic man(and that might be to much for him).Im not sold on khan and I can't wait for him to fight anyone with pop.These are all the fighters I think he will lose to.Ortiz Maidana Judah Campbell I won't even bother the other two cause we all know he is not beating Bradley or Devon.This kid is nothing but hype.Oh and I would give hime more of a break if he was'int rank num 2 in the div.

Hey JMM, Stay at 135 please!

but floyd would've gotten the same money for margarito as he got for baldomir...

except marg was a nobody and had only beaten fellow no names cintron (i know im pushing it on that one) and clottey, he chose to fight baldomir who had beaten the guy who was considered the best at 147 and then chose to shut up critics who would say 'hes afraid to fight the guy he just beat' not to mention he held the ring title, so he beat in an even more convincing manner than when even clottey was doing.

Hey JMM, Stay at 135 please!

word ! 140 way to big for him. he isnt accepting any fights.. i hate it when fighters get alot of money after a big fight they arent hungry and dont bother to fight.. like wtf either lightweight or jr welter

Khan needs to dispel critics quickly. The only way to do this is first beat Paulie, and then go after a dangerous opponent.
