Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: "Tim Bradley is Avoiding The Tough Fights!"

[Heeb]

[Rome-By-Ko]

I think Khan has faced the better opposition than Bradley, Though Bradley has unified titles and then vacated them to duck Alexander.

Khan has not yet unified any titles, That being said Khan -V- Maidana is a massive fight and the boxing fans here should be happy that the fight is being made. Khan deserves credit for fighting Maidana, Maidana is a dangerous fighter than can turn the fight around at any time.

Maidana is alot more dangerous than Alexander.

I agree Maidana seems to be a more dangerous fight then Devon,not by much tho..But I don't agree that Khan has fought better fighters then Bradley..He has not fought a real puncher since he move to 140lb..Not to mention Bradley was the num 1 Jr WW before Khan was even rank...

[Rome-By-Ko]

Khan is right. Bradley has vacated when Alexander was his mandatory, and now he won't sign after a eyar of we gonna wait til the fight is big.


Sad thing is, I am a fan of Bradley aswell. He's got good speed, footwork, very good body punching and a nasty right hand. He trains like a beast and has a damn hard style to beat with his constant body movement.

Hey P.Killer,You have to say the whole truth here..Which is that Devon and Campbell was Bradley's Mandatory at the time which would you have fought??A kid who is still trying to make something of him self or a name that carried more weight at the time??Bradley did not duck Devon he went for the better fight for his Career/Resume..

Khan can say what he wants. He signed the contracts for his mandatory, now it's time for Tim to step up and fight Devon(who has called him out on numerous occasions regardless of money) and we can have a unified champ by 3/4th quarter next year.

[wazaa.]

Khan only rushed to fight Maidana AFTER he has looked worst than ever.You didn't hear Khan calling ANY big punchers out after he got KTFO. Now that he seen Maidana gassed out in a fight against an old Demarcus Corley,Khan coincidently calls him out.....looks like nothing more than a vulture.

Bradley will wipe the floor with this china-chinned, over protected hype job.

Bradley is going to fight Alexander only after he saw how Kotelnik exposed him...

[Rome-By-Ko]

Yep Yep! I'm with you 100% Romey!

There's so much wrong with what Kahn said here, I don't even know where to start. Here he goes again, acting like he runs the show. He was the one that mentioned (after his fight w/Malignaggi) there should be a tournament between the 4 guys, that's much is true. Even then, he was the one sounding off, stating who should do what and when. But to my recollection when he was approached by HBO (or whoever) about actually doing the tournament, he declined. I'm pretty sure the article is here on BS here somewhere.
Furthermore, I don't recall Timothy ever saying there was no one left at 140 pound division, the reason he went up to 147 was to test the waters in a higher weight class to make himself relevant for a Pac fight. And, Kahn doesn't have a clue what he is talking about regarding Carlos Abregu. Say what you want about the Bradley/Abregu fight, but Abregu was an opponent with a height/reach advantage at his natural weight, who was undefeated with a high K.O. ratio and also rated #5 by several organizations. So first, Kahn saying Abregu wasn't even rated in the top 10 is false, and secondly, Abregu was a far more dangerous opponent (at a higher weight class, which Bradley had never fought before) than Kahn has been willing to take on since the Prescott fight.

The worst part about all Kahns talk is that he probably will have more viewers for his next fight... but I'm willing to bet that a large majority of them will be routing for him to be in the same position he was in at the end of the Presoctt fight - in LaLa Land!

So what, he finally signed to fight Maidana! He was going to have to do it sooner or later so big whoop-di-doo. I think the only reason that he's signed as of now is because Maidana wasn't going to let Kahn play boss and had the organization order a purse bid. Otherwise, he would still be dragging his feet, or saying Maidana "outpriced" himself as an excuse why the fight wouldn't happen. If Kahn would have let it go to purse bid, he would have surely gotten less pay then.

You are on fire Jesus...

wow thats a HOF resume right there... ehm...

who did Holt beat? The 10 year Holt has been fighting he has only fought like what 20 times .

Nate Campbell... who did Nate beat at 140? Oh yeah I forgot nobody. Wait... wasn't the Nate fight a NC .

Lamont Peterson... lol too GREEN.

Junior Witter... was a good win eventhough Witter didn't win **** afterwards. Might indicate that he was done. Many say Kotelnik beat Witter. The same guy Amir dominated.

Edner Cherry... wow the guy that got dominated by that featherfisted bum that Amir dominated...

wazaa, I think that the hate generated toward Amir Khan is bordering on ridiculous, even in spite of the ****** things that he says.....

..... but, you simply cannot compare Bradley's resume' to Khan's.

I am not casting any aspertions, just stating that to-date, Bradley has faced the better competition, and is THE MAN at JWW.

This is probably the best fight at 140 IMO, considering that I prefer boxers to punchers.

[heihaci]

To be fair Bradley's resume is better than Khan at the moment
but there is no doubting that Bradley has avoided Alexander!
