    Khan Emulates Pacquiao : Bradley Emulates Mayweather

    First of all a disclaimer, Im not claiming Khan is as good as Pacquiao or that Bradley is as good as Mayweather, They are both still young fighters but here is what I have noticed:

    Bradley: Bradley is trying very hard to emulate Mayweather, He often uses alot of the excuses or reasons that Mayweather uses for not having to fight Manny Pacquiao, "Talk to my promotor", 'Khan is on steriods', "Im still number one in the division", "Im 100% natural African American male", "Im undefeated", "How can Khan be number one if he hasnt dethroned Timothy Bradley?" Basically Bradley uses rival promotors, Ped testing, his undefeated record to stall or prevent a fight with Khan, Much like Mayweather does to avoid Pacquiao. It seems like Bradley might just come out and say one day "Khan might be the best 140lber in England, But Im the best 140lber in the world!"

    Khan: Khan tries very hard to emulate Pacquiao, Its cringe worthy to watch at times and this is coming from a fan of his, Everything from ****ing his gloves together, Throwing his arms in the air, Following Pacquiao around to his fights to get more media attention, Oh and its "Freddie says....", "Freddie's gameplay,,,,", "Freddies gym....", He really is trying overly hard to impress Freddie. Then "Im going to spar Manny Pacquaio", Then he gets Reebok his sponsors to make him a ring canvas for the wildcard because Nike made one for Pacquaio. The list goes on....

    Why cant young boxers try more to be themselves? Bradley should be Bradley and Khan should be Khan, This cringe worthy emulation of other fighters needs to stop because it leads to the wrong attitude and prevents fights because egos are bigger than purses.

          ok cool.

          Back to your topic, i kinda disagree with you.

          I see Khan and Bradley as themselves.

          The Khan - Pacquiao resemblance is alot more there than a Bradley - Mayweather resemblance though.

          Hopefully Khan is willing for one more fight at 140 so a Bradley fight can get made.

              I think Khan tries to copy Floyd more than Manny lol.

              The glove thing is only a habit he picked up in sparring, but he's been sponsored by reebok since he turned pro.
