    Why is Amir Khan so much more popular than Timothy Bradley??

    Khan is younger, fought lesser and fewer opponents, is once defeated and nearly fought all his fights in Britain. Still it seems he has a big name in America... While Bradley has fought many names, has a great style and has never been beaten. but nobody besides casual fans knows who he is..He only draws about 2000 person crowds..

    Why is this, people???????

    Hype.

    Plus come one this is sort of rare. A good African American boxer is common. A good Pakistani- British ****** boxer is fairly rare.

    Khan and his Olympic fights were well publicised.

      He was hyped from the olympics, has great skills and has a big personaility

      He also got that swag and could trash talk when needed

                    And you know the thing is if Tim Bradley did beat him, us casual fans would look up to him more but I still think Khan would have the bigger mainstream name afterwards..He just has the look and personality to be a superstar I guess...It kind of reminds me of De la Hoya coming up....
