Arum: Bradley Too Tough For feather-fisted Khan

Bob is so desperate to avoid working with Golden Boy he's signing up Bradley, a guy with no power who can't draw for ****. Will the future be Top Rank on Showtime and Golden Boy on HBO?

 

Khan isn't feather fisted, that's ridiculous. Though I do agree that Bradley destroys him.

 

I'd rather Pac fight Bradley than any other 154/147 lbl boxer who he's beaten (Cotto) or who isn't that good/past his prime (though I still like Pac vs Mosley, because it's not clear cut).

In the end, Pac is a 140 pounder fighting at welter weight. He and Bradley would put on a show. I'd expect Pac to win by KO, but I'd also expect a competitive fight until that KO. Another nice fight would be Pac vs Berto.

That said, I'm not sure Bradley can beat Kahn. He definitely can go inside on Kahn and make him feel uncomfortable, I just don't know if he has the power to really disrupt Kahn's rythm or the resiliance to come forward through the Kahn's artilery like Maidana did. Kahn has good power, more so than Kendall Holt. Probably on par with Alexander, but he's more accurate than Alexander and his jab is... streets ahead.

Bradley's a much better more complete boxer than Kahn, but I think Kahn's physical avantage will eventually give him the win.

 

because the 1st fight was FOTY and big demand for rematch atsch

 

Yeah, that was a silly, uncalled for, inexplicable decision, wasn't it?

 

Pac challenged himself by going up to a weight he couldnt even make, and still beat a very good fighter who outweighed him by 17lbs. He has no business being at JMW or MW and he admits that, the class is too big.

2 different scenarios. Pac goes up in weight and wins but feels its too heavy for him. He also has a history of going up in weight mostly unaffected.

JMM goes up in weight and loses badly. He blames it on the weight. Instead of dropping to 140, he drops back to 135. Not only is JMM unproven at 147, he is also unproven at 140. Not only is he unproven, he is PROVEN so far to be ineffective at that weight. I mean atleast with any other LW challenging for a WW title, their performance at the higher weights is unknown, JMM's is known and its not good, and JMM claims its the weight.

JMM was a challenge for pac at FW, Pac is now a WW. Might as well say Singsurat still beats Pac...

And oh, Pac has dropped back down to 147 his natural weight to fight a top 5 contender. JMM dropped back to his natural weight to fight a top 5 contender. Proving my point further. JMM has no business at WW.

 

The only thing that will be destroyed in a Khan/Bradley fight is that large bowling ball of a head Bradley has.

Roach will see Bradley's headbutting and devise a plan to neutralize it. Cunningham was stupid not to prepare his fighter for someone whose headbutts rival Holyfield's !

 

You're an idiot, a loss to an ATG 147 pounder does'nt prove you cant handle 140 or even 147 lbs......

Mosley is a proven 147 pounder and he did'nt do any better and imo did worse than Marquez vs Mayweather.

The PED user since his move from 130 lbs has'nt faced anyone even close to how complete a fighter Mayweather is.

To say, "you lost to Mayweather thus you cant handle 140 or 147 lbs" is something an idiot like yourself would say.......

Now if Marquez had moved up and clearly lost to the 3rd or fourth man in the divsion in the same fashion he did to Mayweather, then there would be a reason to state Marquez cant handle the weight.......but you cant say that when the fighter he's faced is a prime ATG at his weight division.

When Pacquiao gets embarrassed by Mayweather, I'm certain the non-*******s in this forum are not going to be saying Pacquiao could'nt handle the weight.


I will say this about Marquez, he's neither proven or unproven that he can compete with the better fighters past 135 lbs.

......The Mayweather fight for JMM should be disregarded as far as handling the weight issue, because Mayweather has made most fighters even heavier than he is look that way or worst.
