Comments Thread For: Bradley on Khan: I'll Take Peterson's Sloppy Seconds!

[aces725]

Cmon don't let your hate for Amir blind u dude .. The kid has good power , Bradley does not .. He is strong but no power on his shots

[IMDAZED]

You don't need anyone to verify it but you go on to say plenty had Bradley winning, then you name one...... Lol

I'm not surprised you find it funny. And that it went over your head. You have mentioned how most people saw it as a robbery and I responding by saying I said I don't need others to back me up. I also wanted to remind you (since what people think is so important to you) that there were some very respected journalists (Thomas Hauser unquestionably the best IMO) that saw different. Going forward I'll try and break every statement of mine down to your level.

Why does it have to come down to being a fan? You are clearly a Bradley fan, I'm not a fan of Pac at all I like Khan his fights are exciting there are guys at 147 I would favour over Khan, Bradley is not one of them.

Why does it have to come to that? Because that's what it is about for you. Hence, why you ask that question and then...read the rest of this paragraph. You're a Pac or Khan stan and now we know which. Why else would you compare this "robbery" to Holyfield-Lewis I? Nonsense. I like Tim Bradley--no reason to hate him. A fan? No. I still haven't seen his last fight (against Casamayor). I'm not that bothered.

You watched the fight you saw what you wanted to see as people often do now you try to justify the scoring by making out you have to be a boxing genius to score a fight.

I think you should take this statement and apply it to yourself. And you're right, listening to guys like you does make me appreciate what I am able to see with my own eyes. And that was that this was a solid fight between two competitors but the verdict went to the fighter who controlled the action with movement against a flat-footed opponent, exhibited better defense, landed the more effective (not telling) punches which ultimately lead to him finishing the stronger fighter and earning a close decision. So many close rounds I can see a win for either. A blowout? I think you're the one who saw what you wanted to see. Pathetic enough, you managed to do that while seeing what they wanted you to see too.

u didnt know??? theres an excuse for each time. in prescott it was because he was killing himself to make weight. with maidana, he fought well in the early rounds so he was impressive enough. against mc closkey, it was becacuse mc closkey didnt wanna stand in front of him and fight and we all know what the new excuse against peterson was. sure, some of that stuff may be true but at the end of the day, whats most glaring is khans style is weak, his defense is non existent and he fights for half a fight. not one of his fans can dispute these things yet they swear by the guy.

The funny thing is, I like Amir Khan. I really do. I think he has ****ing heart. Plus, he's a young man doing his thing out and about town and that makes him likable to me. That said, he isn't on Timothy Bradley's level. And being his fan doesn't change that. His resume doesn't compare. He hardly even looks that good in fights he does win. Dude is decent with the talent to be better than that but thus far we haven't seen it.

Was he really exposed against McCloskey? He won every single round clearly.

How did Maidana expose him? In which area?

He fought a guy that a lot of people said would knock out him and he took his best punch and survived and not only that but won the fight clearly.

The only fights I'd consider Khan "exposed" would be Prescott for his chin and the Peterson fight for struggling with educated pressure but Lamont Peterson is a proven cheater so how much weight does that loss actually hold legitimately?

[IronDanHamza]

Amir Khan is probably the most overrated fighter today--a six round pug with amateur skills. I would say "he'll get exposed one day" but it's already happened like three times.

Unfair IMO.

Amir Khan has beaten good fighters and convincingly too.

There's fighters out there like Mike Jones for example who get gifts against Soto-Karass and get knocked out by a 37 year old Randall Bailey ontop of beating no one of note and are considered in the same category.

And there's a lot more to add to that.

I know. I had to make that other post about him (see right above) just because I felt bad I said that . I like him. But his fans overrate him to no end.

[John Barron]

i scored the fight 115-113 for pacquiao but, there were at least 4 swing rounds that the judges could have seen and scored differently so i have no problem with bradley getting the nod. it was a very close and boring ass fight.

Yeah, he get's overrated by some of his fans but that's the case with most fighters and always has.

Khan's a good fighter IMO. He's got a good resume and he's still has many years of his career left. Not many fighters out there have a resume has strong as his at the age of 25.

Fair enough, my friend. Like I said, I like him. He's a tough kid. He really believes in himself too. And while it's true that overrating goes on with everyone, his fans are beginning to remind me of the Joe Cal Brotherhood of Insecurity. I have been impressed by Khan in flashes. He is quite beatable and his style amateurish. His stamina is amateurish too. I see the talent and there is time to turn him into something even better than good. For now, it's not there and I think Bradley would give him a confidence-killing beatdown if they faced off.

Dazed, they're choosing to hide behind what the consensus is and popular opinion doesn't mean squat when one particular fan base, we both know who...used Marquez's "Foot Stomper" as an excuse to why Marquez was successful, that video got about 1 million hits in a day. They were oblivious to the fact that this was a natural occurrence between a righty and a lefty, because they do not watch boxing. I honestly don't give a fuck about their opinion. I get into specifics, rounds, my criteria, they talk compubox and popular opinion.
