Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley: I Will Fight Amir Khan in The UK

[F l i c k e r]

I don't want to hear him say it, do it!

If Bradley is so confident, challenge him. Don't just say bull**** to the media and then never fight him.

[switchsouthpaw]

There is no tourney presented to any fighters,,,and the one Khan presented doesn't count cause he is no position to call the shots, but until one is properly presented, Bradley is trying to market himself in the 147.....

Actually Khan is in a better position than all of the other fighters at 140, for one reason...HBO thinks that he's capable of being a superstar.

As for Devon and Tim, not so much. Devon/Tim can make a name for themselves by clearing out 140 and in the process creating their very own marketing kit. If Tim moves to 147, sure he will get paid more, if he were to face either Pac or May-that is only a one fight guarantee-because if he loses and their is a good chance that could happen against either man, then watch the house fall apart as he would have shot himself in the foot, losing any potential leverage he would have had, had he decided to stay and clear out 140.

man bradly needs to fight alexander and kahn and beat them while he can and unify the titles so that way theres a way to market him at 147 for a mayweather or pacquio fight and that way hed have more experiance and stand a better chance, cuz rite now he dont stand a chance. and he wants more money like hes earned it with only 25 fights yeah rite it took may and pac years to get where they are and this fool wants to cut in line **** him he turned down 800,000 talkin bout he has mouths to feed that greedy ******* 800,000 could feed 4 orphanages for a year how many mouths does he have and what the **** does he eat! lmao

Meanwhile if he fails he will have to find another means of income. Or what if he gets hurt and has to retire then what? This will be a make a career break a career fight. Besides that if they just wait a year and both win it will be a seven figure fight when they fight initially. I know he has been offered more to fight 150 K now. It was a general example of the fact that this dude works harder for his money than most people can understand and he could barely survive where he lives, which is truly saying something.

Also HBO might be trying to stop the fight so that it could be a bigger fight down the road, why else would they pay him more to fight Maidana. It could mean they were trying to make it so that it was a bigger fight down the road.

Maybe HBO already has a plan and we have no idea what they are doing, they are professionals and they make a lot more money than us for a reason, they know how to spend it properly.

okay what if bradley gets caught by abregu and gets knocked out then what, his value goes down and hurts his chances because he lost to a no name, but bradley knows he can beat him, where is his confidence with devon? a fighter knows when he can beat another fighter, you may not have an idea on what hbo is doing but i do. devon is my dude and im already hipped about bradley, but its not my place to say everything thats going on. (and no im no flunky for devon, i don't have any problems telling him what he needs to work on or if i know another fighter is going to be challenge for him). all i can say is that its not just about the money with bradley, even though it will can become a mega fight down the road that will be good for both of them. so i agree that it will be a bigger payday if they wait, but don't go by the things u read, trust me its deeper than that

Lol he's pulling a Latrell Sprewell! I'm not sure what Tim is thinking, he is about as marketable right now as *********. His first fight on HBO is a showcase fight and even if he impresses, it won't do anything to enhance his marketability. Some guys aren't marketable period, no matter how good they appear to be, Tim fits that mold. If he gets an opportunity to fight Mayweather and/or Pac and loses, then what? Will he return to 140 and will those guys then turn around and offer him a chance? The same chance that he originally denied them? He has a lot of thinking and planning to do, so far seems like he has the wrong plan in mind.

I don't go by anything read on here, everyone here is a member of the press with there own view on things. I go by actions, why was he offered more for Maidana? Everyone recognizes that Bradley is far more talented, they are going to see how much they should invest before putting him in front of a solid Alexander. I understand that. Bradley is not a guy who fears anyone but he does listen to what is said, if he thinks he can make more money by waiting because of what is said to him why blame Bradley?

Honestly I sat down and watched about 5 fights straight with Alexander, he doesn't have the skills to adjust to Bradley. He just doesn't, his distance isn't perfected yet. His footwork is not good enough to keep up with how elusive Bradley is. Alexander can't fight and inside fight which is not good for someone who has trouble adjusting distances and these weren't impressive fighters. Bradley is an intellectual fight while Alexander is track and kill. I just don't see how Alexander could beat him, his power is very credible but Bradley isn't easy to hit clean. Holt got him 2 times and he still got up to win it. What does that say?

Alexander to me has nothing more than a big mouth with a great record and no resume.

if khan can stay boxing with that long jab and get through bradleys pressure. he will most likely win a ud, the question is if. imo this can be an exciting fight, bradley has heart and balls calling it 2 da uk.

in those five fights did you see devon get reckless when ever he got hit? have you ever seen him get winded, did u ever see any wild punches,did you see him get knocked down, did u see him stubble off his own feet, or did you see him headbutt anybody, no... but i seen bradley do all of that. devon punches are more sharp and accurate than bradley, he showed he can take a hard punch and also showed he can throw a hard punch, urango caught devon with some shots but u never saw devon backing away from him and he even knocked the guy out so what does that say, bradley knocked witter down but devon made him give up. devon was killing corley and witter on the inside and out, bradley let peterson get him winded. he got dropped by holt who just got his ass beat. bradley ain't knocked nobody out in hellas, all bradley does is that lil pitty pat flurry and that wack wild ass over hand right. really i can't see bradley beating devon at all.

lets hope this fight happens soon.

Wild and reckless is a serious statement about Bradley. The one fight he let his emotions get to him was Holt and he won even after to knock downs. He beat every fight beyond a reasonable doubt. He is a very tenacious fighter and because of that he doesn't get to reckless. Bradley is very focus and very calibrated, Peterson was also known for a great jab and a high accuracy rating, neither landed.

You don't seem to understand skills, so I am not going to have an argument with a gentlemen to lazy capitalize words. If you understood more of the skills shown than you wouldn't be talking about reckless or Corely(how old is that guy?). You would be talking about Bradley's speed, quickness, elusiveness, adjustments, footwork, counter punching, intelligence and ring presence. Alexander has speed, quickness, counter-punching, more power, but is not competitive in any other way. What will Alexander do when he can't hit the fighter standing in front of him while hitting him. Or gone before he gets off, or countering him with out getting caught. There are just so many more Ors in favor of Bradley.
