I am elated that someone is giving Tim Bradley his props.He is a great champion.I already know that Pacquioa, Mayweather, and Mosley will never fight him.But that's ok.He can make a name for himself by beating the top guys at JrWW. Bradley vs Alexander would be a classic.I just hope their promoters do all they can to hype these guys up. These guys are fighting stiff competition and deserve big paydays when they fight each other.

It's obvious that Freddie would rather cherry pick opponents for Khan than have him fight Timothy Bradley.

its obvious that's the feeling shared by everyone in khan's camp. his own people know hes just a paper champ.

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...

Roach is a punk-ass *****! He pretty much doesn't want Khan to step up against better opponents cuz he doesn't feel confident his fighter can win but it is true Bradley, Alexander, Maidana are high risk low reward.... I bet Khan will fight the winner of Campbell-Ortiz only becuz Roach knows his fighter can beat them

[MurderDeathKill]

Khan gets beat by Bradley. At 140 he'd beat Marquez. Honestly I think Paulie is gonna beat Khan.

why would gbp allow ortiz to fight khan if ortiz beats campbell?
theyre trying to build both fighters. i think gbp was banking on hatton or jmm being available at 140 after the paulie fight, but hatton retired and JMM aint no one's ***** (other than floyd's). besides, JMM said he's going back down to 135.
khan isnt gonna fight the winner of cayo/maidana and he's definitely not gonna fight alexander. so who's left? maybe lamont peterson, but peterson might fight valero next.

my prediction for khan's opponent after paulie: juan diaz.

FWIW, ortiz starches khan.

Khan should dominate Paulie. After wards however, if this guy doesn't fight someone worth mentioning, then all hope is lost for the kid. IMO he get's a free pass since he is fighting an opponent for the first time on different soil in someones backyard. Get ready to hear some serious boo's coming at you Khan.
