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

[JCairo]

Nobody really knows if khan can mix it with the top guys yet and im sure his team dont want to find out the hard way, i dont see any problem with building him up, it is after all only his first fight in the states, give him a few fights and see if hes ready or not, his match up v paulie is a good one imo, should be exciting and could go either way

i completely agree. khan needs to build himself up in the states against some quality opponents before stepping into the ring w/ the big boys in the division. my problem with khan is that he and his camp act like he's earned something. he hasn't earned anything yet! if anyone should be calling out fighters, it should be bradley. i like bradley, but his humble pie routine is getting him no where. if no one in his division wants to fight him, i say move up to ww and make some money. he's young and in his prime and he is not nearly active enough to take advantage of that.

Marquez simply did not want to become part of Khan's list of "old boxing veterans that I'm going to after even though they're fighting at a weight where they are ineffective and in their prime they would murder me but 40 years from now people will think highly of me because I have two old Mexican legends on my resume". Roach knows that JMM is done and chose to fight him at 140 where he knows JMM ain't gonna be that 'tough' fighter that he supposedly respects so much. GAAWWSH! I HATE ROACH!! ....and Khan too. Hopefully Devon-Timmy happens and then they could a 7-11 on Khan-Winner of and finally it'll be "hyped up" and Khan won't have any more excuses....or will he? *strokes mischievous mustache in a suspecting way*.

However, going off subject here! I would like to point out that if Pacquiao fans are going to be so vocal and loud about how Mayweather ducked Margarito n Cotto n Williams, the truth is, is that Mayweather didn't fight those guys because of the money and after the split from TR, PBF and Arum had sick bad blood between and in 2007, the biggest fights at 147 or above were "The World Awaits" and "Undefeated". So if yall gonna hate on PBF for "ducking" and going where the $$$ is at, then yall might as well be bashing Papa Roach and Pacquiao's new pet, Khan. I expect the bashing to begin effectively immediately in 24 hours.

i agree with your take on khan and marquez. but mayweather was offered $8mil to fight margarito, pre-cotto fight margarito. that would have been good money for mayweather.

khan seems to be the smaller over bradley.bradley would wack him

Bradley is twice the size of Khan but Khan will beat him.

people are under-rating Khan and over-rating Bradly vastly

[Iceta Lives]

Why does it always have to happen now with you ***ing people???


The man said he wants the fight to be a big time fight before he puts Amir against him. What the *** is wrong with that?? it's not running it's just when you know the fight is gonna be tough you wanna make sure you get paid well for it. Fighting the number 1 guy for nothing is a waste.

Bradley said he'd fight Khan over in England and it's well documented that Khan would've received a good payday from it. Bigger than fighting against guys like Prescott and Salita.

wtf? khan is a huge junior welter. bradley's a big midget by comparison.


i wish someone in khan's camp had the same confidence in khan that you have in him.

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.

I agree hes not big. Hes just tall. Same with Paul Williams.

Absolutely correct. I still wish Khan would fight better opposition, but hopefully after he fights Mallignaggi, Roach and Golden Boy will give him a proper test. But to be fair, Khan's resume isn't as bad as people make out. He has only had 23 fights, and Mallignaggi is a decent step up for him.

Bradley eats him alive right now. I think Khan has the speed, agility, and reflexes to beat Bradley but not the intangibles such as ability to adjust in the ring mid-fight. Bradley has a mental edge as well because he is still undefeated.
