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

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

If you think I'm concerned with being 'taken seriously' by you, then you are pharmaceutically enhanced.

Tim has the best recent resume at 140 right now. And he was going to fight Maidana. Apparently, you forget that.

Different opinions, sparky. No need to get all wounded. That's feminine.

Bradley's ledger walks over Khan's for variety, depth and challenge.


LMAO at these know-nothing guys who rip on Mayweather for supposedly ducking, running, blahblahblah, long after he'd paid his dues, but then give Khan all the passes under the sun when he's done barely anything. Compare what Floyd had done after the same amount of years and fights in the pro game to what Khan's done, it's not even close.


Dude's going into a lightweight tournament next, not a JWW one.


Also LOL @ Holt having nothing except a punch. Inconsistency is an issue, but he has a lot more than just a punch.



I've pointed out to these dudes umpteen times that Bradley was supposed to be fighting Khan's mandatory for him until that dude's Team ran from him twice. Gary Shaw's having to chase that dude.


Bradley >>>>>>>>>> Khan, and it isn't close.

Also, I love how Witter, who doesn't take punishment, who was coming off his best career win, was clearly past his sell-by-date when Bradley fought him (I watch Witter a lot, because I'm a fan of the guy, and he wasn't that deteriorated from his best form at all) - but Malignaggi, who has been in *wars*, was somewhere near his best because he was coming off a win over a small (somewhat blown-up even at lightweight), war-torn Diaz at practically 140?


I detailed in another thread why Witter was so solid a win for Bradley - not just that he won, but the manner in which he did it. Nobody has ever foxed Witter and played him at his own game the way Bradley did. Witter gets his own way in fights even when he isn't clearly winning them, his whole gameplan is predicated on that. Bradley totally turned his whole awkward deal on its head, and the fact he was able to take the cards as clearly as he did in the UK is testament to the show of generalship he put on Witter.


Bradley's clearly the most accomplished, rounded JWW, both skill-wise and ledger-wise.

Floyd or Manny are not mentioning Devon name, I don't hear Devon name in the WELTERWEIGHT picture...so how is fighting Devon gonna get there attention...Bradley was atleast mentioned a possible opponent for Manny when the Floyd fight failed in Feb. Bradley fight at 147 could get him that step closer, i mean you can't hate the guy for chasing the big name fighters cause they bring the money, and Devon is not a big name fighter....Abregu may not be known but he's a solid 147 fighter and this could open doors for him at 147 for bigger fights,,,140 may be loaded with talent, but 147 is where the money is at....

so u didn't hear floyd saying he will pass the torch to devon? u don't hear floyd saying that about bradley. devon is being realistic he knows a win over bradley would make him a big attraction and it can be the same for bradley. and bradley is not a huge name fighter either, i don't hate the dude im not just gonna **** on his name, im all for getting the big dollar fights too, but be real bradley will be 10x closer to a big fight if he beat devon somebody with two belts at 140 rather than fight a no name at 147 that's how fighting devon will get there attention

exactly. whoever comes out on top of the 140 lbs tourney is a viable opponent for pac/floyd and has more leverage in negotiations.

right now, no 140 lber is in the race at all to fight pac or crackbaby jr.

Every one here is just a fan no one here is a publicist for a reason.

Khan is easy money. These guys don't have retirement plans man, once they are out of boxing there is nothing there for them except training if your lucky. They need to make their money, and Bradley said that he wants to fight Alexander when the money is right how is that unfair? Would you not want to fight for money if you were a professional fighter? Let me see you step up and fight someone for less money higher risk. A lot of you make zero sense. All he has to do is wait a year and than things will be better, we will have a bigger fight with more defenses under both of their belts.

When people have owned their belt for longer and fight more fights they get more popularity, pretty simple. This sport is all about marketing and you guys are fans, it isn't difficult to figure out what the fans want we want top fights. These guys are responsible for making as much money as possible out of every fight they can.

Why kill your chances at the one big money fight you will have down the road? Are you saying chasing PBF and Pacman would be ducking Alexander? Seriously, these guys are both better than Alexander.

Why is Bradley frowned upon for being honest? He gets no love because he wants to get paid. He isn't asking for twenty mill. He wants at least one 7 figure check, is that really that bad. He will have injuries and have to eat for the rest of his life off of this career. How is making 150K going to help with that if he has kids? Hell you can't even survive in most places in So Cal with those wages a year. Now add that he is from Palm Desert and living is expensive there.

You guys kill me you guys see such a small picture, step back and look at the big picture. He will make more for a fight against him in a year, not questionable if he continues to win he will, especially if Alexander wins. Bradley isn't just looking to feed his family this year he is looking to feed them for another 40, you guys should respect that.

Get your heads out of your @55e5.

You know why the apparent surge of support for Khan is saying what it's saying? In some cases, it's because they're British. In other cases, it's because they're suckling at the Team Pacquiao/anti-Floyd teet, either full-on, shameless subscribers or wandering, lost fools who need an ostensibly righteous cause to bat for but still want to hide behind a pretence of neutrality while they do it. In a few select cases, both of those apply.


A bunch of these guys rip on a proven guy like Mayweather for supposedly swerving fights, without even knowing the basics (for instance, Mayweather's wranglings with Top Rank at the time he was offered Margarito), then defend Khan to the hilt when that guy hasn't even fought one dude who wasn't selected for safety since Roach took over.


A small minority percentage of Khan's supporters on here actually gives a **** about what he does in the ring, LMAO.

Flippy-floppy, if Khan is in any JWW tournament, I'll happily eat my hat,


here's your tourney,

-SEMI FINALS

• Khan-Katsidis (@ 140)
• Marquez-Diaz II (@ 135)

-FINAL (if all goes to plan)

• Khan-Marquez (@ 140)

a tourney against career lightweights (yes, I know Katsidis has fought @ JWW, but his name was established as a LW) and a guy who has matured into a lightweight, but fighting them at 140, LMAO.

Khan has fought 4 or 5 fights at 140. Not that many either. Althoguh he killed himself to make 135.

Anyway I hope Khan does fight in the proper tourney.

As for Kats, you already know that it is a fight they want in July.

my dude, i can respect tim for wanting more money and wanting to fight manny and floyd i agree 100% its just the way he is trying to do it. lets get this out in the open now, the offer is not 150k anymore, that was last year when no one knew who devon was. bradley and alexander are the two top fighters at 140. it has been said many times the winner of the two will become a superstar. that means that person will have the chance at big paydays that could feed them for 40 years. so if bradley beats devon he can get those fights asap. you can't say that with abregu.
