    So compare actions then.

    Bradley: fought a career SFW/LW in his last three fights
    Khan: Has only fought LWWs since moving up to the weight.

    Bradley: vacated his title rather than fight Alexander.
    Khan: hasn't vacated his title, fought one mandatory, Maidana has yet to enforce his mandatory.

    Fine with 'actions speak louder than words' when you apply it equally to everyone.

    Your missing the fact Bradley's fought all manner of challenges from decent and hard hitting opponents, where as Khan has cherry picked none punchers

    Khan has cherry picked no1.

    kot was the champ,
    salita was the mandatory
    paulie was his first voluntary, and a good yardstick as to how skilled he is vs someone he cant blow away.

    his next fight is likely jmm, bradley or maidana. presumably one of them will satisfy you?

    Is this the part where you tell me that Kendall Holt is a murderous puncher despite his crica 50% KO rate and the fact that he hasn't stopped anyone with his fists since a slightly dubious tko of David Diaz five years ago?

    Khan seems to call a lot of people out so I'll wait and see how this one goes before thinking about a fight.

    A poor bump. Of course Khan isn't going to fight Bradley next! It's all talk at the moment.

    Now if you want a good bump, we'll be digging out all those comments that say Khan will be sparked out by both Maidana and Bradley when they fight.

    quote" from Gary shaw when he heard about Khan wanting to fight Bradley,

    I was called by a radio station about Khan's Twitter message, and I immediately e-mailed Richard Schaefer and said, this is what you're fighter is saying," said Shaw. "I sent an e-mail not only to Richard, but to [HBO's president of sports] Ross Greenburg aswell. I got back an e-mail from Richard saying, 'I will talk to Amir'

    "I'm fighting Timothy Bradley next. I'm going [to] tell Golden Boy. Let's see if they want it for real. Talk is cheap. I'll fight Tim Bradley, it's the first time he has called me out. I'm going Vegas and [I'll] talk to Golden Boy. I would love the fight, good style for me. By the way, clever way to avoid the best [at] 140-pounds by moving up," Khan said.


    The fight could be made, if Khan wanted it,

    yes talk is cheap

    Actions speak louder than words, instead of taking on the best, bradley vacates and moves up.

    you are aware alexander was bradleys mandatory and tim vacated.

    Khan called out Bradley in his twitter message, agreed?
    Gary Shaw wants to make the fight agreed?
    So why is Khan fighting a lightweight?
    OK, so is Khan moving down to lightweight for this fight? No he wants to fight at 140 pounds, so he can have all the advantages over a much smaller man, height, reach, age,

    Khan is embarrassment to the British boxing fans

    Khan has to have more fights at LWW (Maidana, Alexander) before getting the chance to fight Tim. Tim would just outpoint him (final)

    Nar i think if this happens Bradley is kinda made for Kahn. I think in this division it would be Alexander who would test Kahn more.

    Please do us a favour? **** off?

    If you think Khan is a embarrasment then you're just scum.

    What was your beloved Hatton and Calzaghe doing at the age of 23 in their 24th fight? Fighting bums who were unknown.

    You also have Haye who is not fighting Klits after calling them out and then bitching out of it.

    Khan's opposition ****s both of theirs over at this stage of so called 'padding'.
