    His win over Devon Alexander was a great win at the time. And he has for the most part, never been in with a soft touch. He took the hard road to get where he is at.

    He even won his first belt by routing Junior Witter in the UK.

    Outside of the win vs Matthysse, which is a great win, Danny has done nothing of note.


    You made a mistake. Danny was the lineal titlist when he beat Khan, something Bradley never did, in part because he walked away from fighting Khan. It's hard to argue Tim was the man at 140.

        Khan turned him down twice.

          Do you even know what "ducking" is?

          Its when you avoid a certain fighter or avoid him to face a less dangerous fighter. Are you implying that Khan was a more dangerous fight for Bradley than Pacquiao? TWICE?

            Bradley walked away from Khan to sign a TR deal to fight Casamayor before Manny.

              didn't he turn down Khan to fight to fight Casamayor and then he got the Manny fight once he won.

                Khan was certainly more dangerous than geriatric Joel and since Bradley doesn't have power he may have been just as dangerous as Pacquiao for him. Khan advantages over Bradley are size,speed,power,and technique.

                  Khan wasn't a big fight at the time, and not even close to as big as Pacquiao. He had just barely survived Maidana.

                  Also you have to consider the context. Tim Bradley moved to Top Rank to chase the Pacquiao fight.

                  Khan was working with Goldenboy. The Casamayor fight was Bradley's first fight with Top Rank. A stay busy until the Pacquiao fight.

                  Also, Khan lost to Lamont Peterson the month after Bradley fought Casamayor.

                  It's all fine and dandy to pretend a Khan fight made sense for anyone, but in reality. Going after Pacquiao was a much ballsier move.

                  I don't think you can call fighting the p4p #1 or #2 depending on who you ask, instead of Amir Khan a duck.

                    He signed with Toprank, with the promise of a Pacquiao fight, and Casamayor was a stay busy fight for him from toprank.

                      Ok, my point was he didn't go right to Manny, same as in my other post the point was Danny was the lineal champ and the MAN at 140, Tim could've been but opted not to fight Khan and instead go to TR.
