Comments Thread For: Arum: Bradley Too Tough For Khan, HBO Mistakes

[BrooklynBomber]

I gotta say I liked what I saw in Bradley to beat Khan. There are certain cues you gotta look for in a fighter to really know whats gonna happen in a fight, and Bradley has all the tangibles to make Khan very uncomfortable in the ring.

Isn't Bradley's contract with Shaw up? Bradley might sign with Arum and get Pacquiao

Bradley vs. Alexander a real sleeper of a fight. Major blue bawlz waiting for something to ignite that really never did. Alexander reminds me of Paul Williams with his punches coming like a sidearm or backhand flick instead of a straight punch. Very painful fight to watch concerning their matchup of styles.

As far as Khan vs Bradley...I just don't see Khan being able to make 140 and still keep his strength. He's naturally too large. And what HBO team was saying last night about Pacman prob not going back to 140? Why the hell not? Heck, they say Pacman has to get up in the middle of the night just to eat so he doesn't lose weight. If fighting a larger opponent, I get it. But Bradley is a 1/2" shorter and I don't see what good fighting at 147 would do for either of them.

Got a bit of a lull between now and the next decent fight. Bummer.

Manny Pacquiao fight shotcaller Bob Arum took a long look at Tim Bradley as the Californian retained his undefeated status against previously unbeaten Devon Alexander and liked what he saw with one glaring exception.

I would prob favour Khan over Bradley at this point.....and Pac would murder Bradley....i think you need to be able to hurt Pac to discourage him.

so? what does that have to do with anything I said? guess Floyd was too tough for Cotto at 140 or too green or what ever.


Arum have no problem admitting he over protects his money fighters he says it over and over again get over it

What?

Since when was Amir Khan a Bob Arum fighter? And you look even more ridiculous because Arum is pushing for Pac-'tough' Bradley. Sit and think on that for a bit.

lol bradley to top rank soon as he will be guaranteed a pacquiao fight that he can't refuse.

[WarriorSoul]

Arum makes no effort in hiding his cruel intentions. The guy has no shame in saying that he'll protect his fighters (even though Amir is a GBP fighter) and use them for his benefit. The guy has done a lot for boxing, but he's become a cancer in the sport.

Arum is a snake. Guy is openly poaching (call it courting) other promoters' fighters, it's open season on boxers and Arum has space on the mantle for a certain hammerhead ram.

Arum is shady for sure. He doesn't even own Bradley yet, but he's already luring him away while he's still with another promoter and using Pacquiao as bait. He's basically saying to everyone: you want pac, you have to sign with me and wait in line. He's the chipleader and isn't afraid to bully anyone.

after Bradley losses a fight? get the **** out of here with that **** man you do know Bradley and Berto were available for Arum right instead we get a damaged Marg and Mosley.


wake up kid Arum would even go out of his way to find another network to put on his mismatches before he steps up the level of competition

[JDezi4]

Arum has a point.

He's been promoting for 50+ years or something so he knows this game inside and out.

If the fight had taken place a year down the road, both fighter's would've come out with heavier pockets.

Arum knows how to maximize $$ potential and really get his fighter's top dollar whether the boxing fans like it or not.

That is something to hate, but also admire depending on which perspective you're looking from.

I don't even like Arum and I know this to be true, Arum knows how to make money.
