No power huh.thank you i been tryna tell people that....3 years since his last ko and he is the best at 140??

LOL When Bradley first was the num 1 Jr WW Devon was not even rank that's a fact.Bradley is the best 140lb not name Pac.

peterson wasn't ready to fight bradley, i knew he was going to lose before they even got in the ring, and im sure other fans thought that too thats why people didn't care. bradley and devon are the two top fighters at 140. alot of people think devon will win and a lot think bradley will win. plus its a chance to unify three belts. berto is a bigger name than devon is now, but thats not what people want to see now. its not more hype with him and berto. Devon and Bradley been on boxingscene going at it for months, and everybody want to see who is the true best jww. like i said berto can't even get a fight with floyd and he is a bigger name than bradley, and beat good fighters at 147. beating berto would be a step up but it still won't generate the money that floyd is looking for. thats why he will have a better chance fighting devon.

Not true. Many people were picking Peterson to pull the upset. He had a lot of hype from Arum going into that fight, especially because of the reports of him getting the best of Floyd in one of their sparring sessions. I'd say Devon is about right at the mark Peterson was at that time right now, possibly slightly less. So how is this fight going to do much? It certainly wouldn't make HBO or Floyd any interested in fighting him. And even if beating Berto doesn't get him a fight with the big two, it'll still expand his opportunities. He could even get fights with guys like Clottey, Mosley or Cotto from there. Clottey isn't a huge draw, but Cotto and Mosley can do big numbers at this point.

But as I said, a win over Alexander would just solidify his spot as the top JWW. But other than respect from the die hard boxing fans and websites like BoxingScene (which is less than 0.5% of the boxing world), what would he gain from that fight right now? Khan and Ortiz definitely wouldn't fight him after that. Possibly Maidana, but I expect Ortiz to beat him in a rematch before the end of this year so that fight matter.

That was then this is now...I don't hate Bradley by any means but his actions here seem to be all about raping the fans for money and avoiding the fight. Devon is ranked now and does have recent KO's. The point is this fight is what people want and Bradley refuses to do it. I do not believe he will make more money moving up and based on his power probably won't score an impressive KO here either.

We was I think this was one of those threads where I stuck around because everybody was making valid point's.I don't be on as much because it's always Mayweather Pac war's and hate on both on here it get's to me now.I like discussion like this about two up and comers young lions with no trolls.Much more fun.everybody an't like you Chiefy that's why i love ya kid.

Already homie, the love in mutual my dude. Im still reading the post you put down before this one so I can answer it.

HBO knows how big this fight is, cmon now #1 vs#2 unification bout, and floyd would very much be interested because floyd even proclaimed devon as the next best boxer when he retires, said he will pass the torch to devon. so if that came out of his own mouth, why wouldn't he want to fight the guy that beat the man he was praising. that alone means a lot because floyd isn't saying anything about bradley, and floyd is the fight that bradley claims he want. alexander has way more hype than peterson. so a win over devon will not only get floyd but the rest of the guys you mention. ethier way you look at it, its still best if he fights devon

He won't have a chance at fighting Floyd at all unless Martinez won't take the fight or Pwill don't take the fight.I don't see anybody passing up the chance at Mayweather's 0.So nobody has a chance.This is about making a bigger name for your self for both fighters.

I feel you I wanted this fight yesterday.But I also see the value in both fighting some other fighters having some good fights and building up more buzz on this fight.With the right move's this fight could land on PPV.I like both guy's but I really like Bradley.IMO he has fought every good fighter that was rank at the time he was claiming up the latter.Remember when Timmy was first rank num 1 Devon and Khan was not even rank at JR WW this speaks in volume to me.Its also the reason Timmy is calling the shot's.Your thought's?

Khan is the biggest Hype job I ever seen and I seen a few.Khan refuse's to fight a real threat to that chin which is sad.Khan is rank num 3 but who has he really beat to earn that spot?Hatton who has not fought in almost 2yr's should still be rank above him lol.Khan has other dance partner's and should have try to get Peterson(Who I think would make a good fight with Khan)get a hungry fighter.I love Casamayor I feel he is one of the best LW's of this era.He is a sure shot HOF and still may have a lil in his tank.But I won't lie I would have been a lil more impressed with him fighting Katsidis who is younger and a bit fresher.Your thought's?

I can understand Timmy attempting to call the shots as he is a little more established at 140 than all the rest, BUT all of these young lions started shinning before Timmy could FULLY establish himself, so that is where the loop hole is. The timing of Maidana, and Devon's victories couldn't have came at a worse time for Tim(especially in the case of Devon, being that Devon has not one but TWO belts). Now Timmy went through a simi-murders' row to get to where he is right now, so I can respect his position some what. A fight between Timmy and Devon should NOT be on PPV, atleast not the 1st one as I think if these two get in the ring it would call for a rematch(These guys are that evenly matched). The 2nd fight between the two should be the one on PPV. These guys have to reach the masses and they will not do that if their 1st fight is PPV.

Now on to Amir. I am not sold on Amir Kahn at ALL. He has not shown me anything special and I see way too many flaws in his game(to be specific his defense and two glaring things that I saw on his offense). Right now they are trying to legitamize Amir, because this kid is getting seven figures for what exactly?????? Because he's a silver medalist?????? That **** is a bunch of crock. Amir is going to have to fight punchers at 140, so right now they are trying to repair the duck job that went on with Maidana and at the same time put him in with a faded star for name appeal and being that Casa is a harder puncher than Paulie but from a weight class below they're trying to sell us a bull**** fight. If Kahn gets in the ring with Katsidis it would be a whole different ballgame but Kats would be the smaller man in that fight as well he is a LW. Lamont would be a good scrap and acceptable to me but he doesn't have the same pop as Anthony does and right now I want to see Amir in with some one who could decapitate him if he doesn't bring his A-game. Don't forget that Kats has been in a couple of wars, he is going to age faster than we think IMO.

This is what I see bro damn good post bro.Oh and to add to it a lil Abregu is a exciting fighter and may raise Bradley popularity because the fight might be that good.I don't see this as a bad fight for Timmy.Like I said when Timmy was rank num 1 Devon and Khan was not even rank at Jr WW.

Abregu is a test for Timmy at WW pure and simple. Most of his fights have been in Argentina, and the best name on his resume is David Estrada(which isn't bad BTW). Abregu is going to be in Timmy's face all night long, but I think Tim is up for the task. Timmy is trying to catch Floyd and Manny before they retire. He's not really interested in cleaning out 140, but I think Tim is moving too fast for his star power to catch up.

Devon made a profound statement by KO'ing Urango. Berto couldn't do it at 147, and Randall Bailey is the hardest puncher at 140 hands down and HE couldn't get Urango out of there, and that KD he gave Urango was a devestating shot; when he landed it I thought the fight ws over but Urango got up and went on to stop Randall.

P.S. Randall's last fight was at 147, I would love to see how Timmy handles him more so than Abregu. But Abregu is not a bad fight for Timmy's WW coming out party.

I agree with your logic on this here bruh, and I do remember Floyd saying that. Tim MUST fight Devon, he let Devon come up behind him too quickly, and now Devon is damn near unavoidable.

Good post again you on fire.
