Bradley slams Khan, confirms Abregu date.

[PittyPat]

Hearing more and more boxers talk about fighting solely for money disappoints me. :sad1:

Whatever happened to fighting the best when challenged? I know they're prizefighters ("You dummy!"), but Bradley is a young guy who still has lots to prove. IMO he is in no position to be ruling out fights based on money at this point, and neither is Alexander. That's Mayweather's thing.

Bradley is full of s**t. Khan isn't trying to force anybodys hand. He merely stated that if he has to fight a top LWW, then the other top LWW should have to do the same. It makes more sense for Khan to fight Maidana because he is his mandatory, and a big puncher. It makes sense for Bradley to fight Alexander because they are the number one and the number two in the division. But Bradley doesn't want to fight any top LWW's. Thus he is fighting Abregu. At least Khan is proposing to fight at least two top LWW's. Maidana and then the winner of Bradley - Alexander. Little Timothy doesn't even want to fight one. He is just a ducker looking for a big payday against Mayweather.

Stop talking and start acting Little Timothy. Khan, Alexander, and Maidana are all down. You need to put your mouth in the drawer and man up.

2 top JWW's? I think Bradley would be happy to fight Maidana and Khan both in the immediate future, and Alexander down the line. Maidana's considered a top JWW right now and he's cancelled on Bradley twice.

For Khan's part - okay, I won't argue yet again that I don't think Khan will even be fighting Maidana in the 12 months, I'll just ask you this,

if Khan doesn't fight Maidana in the Fall, and instead is matched with the winner of Marquez-Diaz II, what will you think? How will you respond to that?



The disrespect and hypocrisy coming from a Khan teabagger aimed at a guy who's been walking the walk for the last 2 years is absurd, though - this kind of thing is part of why people are going to go against Khan.

Here ya go, bud, hadn't read it since the time it was published but I googled and found it,

Hmm, interesting read, I think roach has completely rebuilt khan from the ground up; technically and physically. Just by looking at this weigh in photo you would think khan is at least 6 ft tall. He has a very similar body build to hearns.

wide back, glass jaw, lean long arms:

At the prescott weigh in he looks weight drained, low confidence, red patches, blue hands. This looks terrible:



This is him at the barrera weigh in, thiner arms, confident face, less muscle definition on the shoulders, increase neck girth etc:








When khan has a fighter hurt he could switch to southpaw and finish him of with the left hand. Roach can train him to switch southpaw instinctivly, but ONLY when he has another fighter hurt. It's very possible, after all he is only 23.

I'll be pissed off if Khan is matched with Marquez in the fall. He should fight Maidana.

And I'm usually quite neutral regarding Bradley. I've never been a big fan of his but I always thought he would be willing to step up and fight the best. Well, Alexander is the best and he doesn't want to go near him. I'm just giving Bradley some of the treatment Khan got when he ducked Maidana. It would make me a hypocrite if I didn't. And people have always been against Khan, and always will be.

[The_Demon]

Im a huge fan of bradley and khan,both got so much potential its unreal

[Ray*]

Does Bradley really expect Khan to fight him now? Maidana has a better claim to wanting to fight Khan than bradley and i cant believe he thought he would get in front of maidana, Am sure if he fights the people he was suppose to fight and eliminate them then King Khan would have no where to turn to but bradleys.

[dibzvincent143]

bradley should fight khan. imo, that fight has money.

[talz]

I have lost all respect for bradley, nothing but a ducker.....quack quack

That change-up in his muscular proportioning and his conditioning is why I think people might get a surprise the first time we see him solidly hit and he has to suck it up and keep doing what he's supposed to. Not to say he'll have great punch-resistance ever, or that he could ever afford to be hit much, but that he might be able to take a decent shot better than expected.


Back in the pre-Roach days he was teamed with a conditioning guy who'd only worked with rugby players, this dude had never even worked with a boxer before. I remember seeing TV featurettes on his preparations and frowning at the kind of work he was doing with that guy. That whole operation was just amateurish when you saw inside, crazy when you consider the high-stakes size of it even back then.

When khan has a fighter hurt he could switch to southpaw and finish him of with the left hand. Roach can train him to switch southpaw instinctivly, but ONLY when he has another fighter hurt. It's very possible, after all he is only 23.

If bolder innovations like that were to surface in Khan's repertoire, I'd be amazed to see it, in a good way.


It's funny, because even in putting the whole Khan conspiracy on blast these last couple days, I'm still actually more inclined to pull for Amir if all these guys start fighting each other - he's the one with the X Factor and perhaps the most intriguing makeup of all of them, his perceived vulnerability to a punch actually lends to that. As excellent as I acknowledge Bradley and Alexander to be, and I also think they're both good kids, I find them difficult to root for per se, moreso I just admire when I watch their fights.

Bradley is right,Khan is running away from the more polished fighters Alexander and Bradley.He needs to fight both of them and I guarantee you he will get 2 losses from those 2.
