The Timothy 'Desert Storm' Bradley deception

[BoxingTech718]

How many light welterweights has Bradley fought, who were 1- in their prime and 2- ranked in the top 10?

Let's take a look at the light welterweights Bradley has fought since becoming world champion:

Junior Witter - Past prime
Edner Cherry - Prime but not top 10
Kendall Holt - Prime and top 10 ✔
Nate Campbell - Lightweight and past prime
Lamont Peterson - Green but top 10
Devon Alexander - Green but top 10

Now...

How many light welterweights has Khan fought, who were 1- in their prime and 2- ranked in the top 10?

Let's take a look at the light welterweights Khan has fought since moving up to 140:

Andriy Kotelnik - Prime and top 10 ✔
Dmitriy Salita - A bum. But he was in his prime and ranked in the top 10.
Paulie Malignaggi - Prime and top 10 ✔
Marcos Maidana - Prime and top 10 ✔
Paul McCloskey - Prime and top 10 ✔

Respectfully, No.....
Malignaggi was shot, and McCloskey ain't top 10 anywhere but England.

Khan doesn't need to waste his time on bums like Bradley and Prescott.

yeah... he will be wasting his time there.. .getting KTFO again

[wazaa.]

And you want credit for Khan if he beats Bradley right?

oh yeah, I want. Bradley and Amir are the best of the division.

All I'm trying to outpoint is that Bradley's resume at 140 isn't that much better than Amir's.

Just the other day you called Maidana an overrated bum.

So you should adjust the description so it matches up with McCloskey.

Witter was riding a 7 year winning streak.

He had just destroyed Vivian Harris.

So Bradley beats him and hes not in his prime anymore?

Malignaggi was shot, and McCloskey ain't top 10 anywhere but England.

What have been Paulie's biggest victories till date? Beating Juan Diaz twice. Amir fought 29-year-old Paulie immediately after that.

McCloskey was ranked in the top 10 by Ring Magazine and two major organizations (WBC and WBA).

At calling Peterson and Bradley green. Also, Junior Witter was one of the biggest hypejobs and flavor of the month when Bradley schooled his ass.

Bradley's resume clearly is #1 at 140. Not saying Khan's is bad (it's good), but Bradley is clearly number 1.

Plus Paulie has gone up in weight and has dominated all of his opponents.

Maidana is a bum with power. That power got him in that top 5 ranking.

And on that Witter matter? So Roy Jones Jr was in his prime when he got beat by Tarver and Johnson? Just like Roy, so did Witter depend a lot on his reflexes and legs. He wasnt the same for a while when Bradley fought him.

Peterson never used a speed ball in his life before he fought Bradley. Peterson was green when he fought Bradlet and he admitted it himself. Alexander was definitely green.

comparing bradley to berto or kirkland is extremely unfair. I don't care if you have khan beating bradley, that's fine, but bradley has earned his right at the top spot fighting and beating top opponents so that alone is better than anything berto ever did. He's also taken monster shots and has never been KO'd, unlike Kirkland. He took a shot that would have KO'd 99.8% of fighters against Holt and he got up because he's a tremendously well conditioned athlete and has heart as well.

Khan & Bradley are the top two fighters at 140 pounds, they are both very good fighters. No one needs to discredit either of them.

Good post...

Is it that hard to argue why you think your fighter will win without having to discredit and downgrade his opponent and his resume?

Bradley, unlike Berto, can fight on the inside (can Khan? ), counterpunch, throw combinations consistently without gassing, and has solid footwork.

Khan is in for a tough fight against Bradley, win or lose.
