    Bradley wants to clean out the division but the division doesn't want to be cleaned out, Bradley agreed to a 140 tournament, it was Khan that turned it down
    LOL now we are gonna start calling other fighters afraid of him! I'm a little bit more realistic and don't think he or any of the 140 pounders are afraid of each other. I think it has more to do with promoters considering that Golden boy has 3/4 of the best 140 pounders locked up and Bradley is stuck with **** bag Gary Shaw who is an idiot in a half. You do realize that Gary Shaw is the same guy who started up the MMA league Elite XC and ran it into the ground right?

      Maidana should've got the SD/MD over Kotelnik (top 10 ring tv), he beat the piss out of Ortiz, and folded Cayo with a BODY shot.

      Come on son. Puncher's chance? lol. He has a great chance against anyone who isn't an elite-level boxer/counterpuncher with power and elusiveness.

      Bradley's mostly hype to me.
      Funny how you conveniently left out junior witter and the fact that he and Holt were world champions. And Edner cherry was no scrub.

        It would be 2 years until he fought at that weight and defended that title.


        How long is a fighter entitled to his belt, before the active fighters fighting there are?

        It surely isn't 2 years, I'll you that.
        And thats fine if he hasn't defended by a certin time yeah you can strip him but the statement was made that they never should of given him the title since he had no intention of defending it. But you still don't give Bradley the title either. He still needs to earn it one way or another and not just by default.

          REALLY? If Khan wasn't afraid he would have jumped into that 140 tournament when HBO offered it. He suggested a Tournament after his fight with Paulie but when HBO called him about it and really tried to make it happen he turned it down

            Actually it was you who implied Bradley was afraid to fight the top fighters in the division. And that's ridiculous considering that he has fought more top fighters than the guys you're hyping.

              Also like i thought you couldnt dispute nothing else but you seen what i wrote about pac and went crazy.

              Duke if you dont know nothing about boxing just quit while you ahead.
              LOL just becasue i don't agree with your **** bag opinions means I don't know nothing about boxing? Very good child will you be making yo mama kokes next?

              And the ring has rules about the belt, they will eventually strip him if need be but that doesn't mean Bradley gets the belt by default.

              ***ing fan boys always wanna just "give" their fighters belts.

                yeah Witter hadn't lost a fight in like 7 years going into that fight with Bradley and Bradley went to his Country and destroyed him

                I am a bigger Alexander fan but I would be a ignorant fool to think that Bradley is the one that is overhyped in the 140 division

                  He's proving himself with each win, so not overhyped. Stylistically, however, he gets way too much credit.

                      Not at all never said he was afraid and i don't think he is. I think it's more about his Promoter being able to hype the kid without making any serious offers to fight the other guys. Maidana was a step in the right direction but until that fight happens I don't see Gary shaw really going after any of the other top 140 pounders and come on the whole calling out Pac thing is all about hype. They know there is almost no chance of landing that fight but they say it anyways for publicity purposes which is kinda gay. It's just funy when fan boys take it seriously.

                      *** Berto has way more claim to fighting Pac than Bradley for christ sake!
