Comments Thread For: Bradley vs Khan: Perhaps The Fight Needs To Simmer

[Pullcounter]

man, jake donovan is ******ed. didn't he learn from the gamboa/jml fiasco? strike while the iron is hot!

the problem with timmah/devon wasn't that it made too soon, the problem with that promotion was that shaw didn't want to fight in st. louis where the fight would've made the most money.

I understand, both guys are coming off crappy fights. well, why not put them on a card together against no-hopers so they look spectacular. then both fight each other next.

this fight has to happen soon, cause the 140 lbs division needs to be unified and a true champion needs to be recognized.

Otherwise Bradley will move up to 147 lbs and fight pac, berto, wifebeater, and ortiz. then timmah/khan will never happen.

trust this, khan/bradley won't get any better than it is now... both are in their primes.

just look at berto/ortiz. that was a good fights. you gotta put these young guys in with each other.

To be real Khan should make this fight with Bradley a reality..Khan's next opponent imo should be Judah if he does not fight Bradley..He needs to unify imo and that's the guy with the other belt in the div..Judah will be a nightmare for Khan imo..Bradley can go off and fight Maidana,or JMM both imo are winnable fights for him..If ya ask me who's in more danger if this fight does not happen I would have to say Khan..

Bradley can wait and make more money but as for Khan he will be beaten again soon.Khan is a very limited fighter and as predictable as Los Angeles weather.His best chance of making money is fighting Bradley right now or else he will lose to a lesser opponent

The fight did not happen in the lue because of how poor Kottie was robbed blind out there..If they would have shown to be even a lil un-bias it may have happened..But they just robbed him blind..But I agree this fight needs to happen now imo,HBO needs to stop being cheap and put the money up so the fans get a great fight and a Champion at 140lb...

yup, khan is vulnerable and can lose at anytime because of the weak chin. .

This is really an excellent article by Jake Donovan.

As the author makes clear, the Khan-Bradley may have to simmer awhile largely due to each boxer's quality of last fight as well as Bradley simply not being a draw.

Problem with Bradley is that he is good at winning, but he's not a known or stylisticly entertaining fighter. He was throwing headbutts way before the Alexander fight, who wants to watch that?

Both of these guys need to stop talking so much and fight in a more thrilling way with more frequency.

Holyfield was a known intentional headbutter and was in some of the biggest fights in boxing this past decade..Bradley does not KO people and most casual fans don't understand sweet science so he does not sell like that..But here in the states I think he is the bigger draw...

right now Khan is in a bad position, the Bradley fight isn't big money, He's not ready for Bradley imo, and if he fights Judah he will lose, which will keep a fight with Bradley from happening for a while if ever, his only other option would be rematch Maidana, and I sure as hell know that's not gonna happen. So this fight might as well happen its his best case scenario even if he loses, we will just look at it as you lost tto the best at 140. If I was Khan either fight Bradley or go to Welter

yeah, but if the fight's not in the Lou, then Donovan and peeps shouldn't be b!tching about the weak attendance for the fight.

HBO should put up the money but timmah and khan both gotta be reasonable with the purse splits.

This needs to happen now, to avoid a GamboaLopez.
