dont worry, im sure arum will sober up 2moro and tell us he was lying and that the truth is khan would **** him up
I guess I'm on my own on this one but Khan's defence is his foot speed, Bradley's footwork will keep up with him and get inside on him. Khan has no defence inside as Maidana proved.
It's about level of comp and wins/losses when ranking fighters. Bradley is clearly higher in rank then any of those guys you listed above him. If your just going by your own presonal eyeball test then that is another story. You are entitled to your opinion.
To me Bradley didn't seem that GREAT but it would be a good fight for a Bradley/Khan to happen. The only reason Arum is saying that Bradley is good for Pac is because Arum has Pac and he can make the fight with Gary Shaw compared to GBP/HBO. The only thing I see is that Arum is one money hungry son of a *****. Sure Pac/Bradley is a good fight on paper but to be honest, Pac will beat Bradley. A better fight would be Khan/Bradley to see who is the best at 140lbs., then Pac.
Man arum is full of ****, this guy is killing boxing. He just wants another easy opponent for pacquiao. Khan will just run around the ring and simply outbox Timothy bradley and win by decision, simple as that.
"Bob Arum, you don't know S#%t about boxing." Khan's only weakness is the one Bradley can't exploit. Its a perfect match up for the much taller and quicker Amir.
Right now, Pac could make 3 straight fights with this supposedly "slick" black fighters (Shane, Bradley and Berto) and dominate them. Shane: shadow of his former self. Bradley: He´s fast, young and undefeated, but in his last fight looked wild, too desperate to look like a killer, sometimes careless. He won´t play cat and mouse with Pac like Floyd would, hes going right after him, which favors Pac. Also, he has NO POWER. Berto: The same as Bradley, but a little bigger and punches harder.
I think Arum is right. I think Bradley will be too much for Khan. But of course, unlike Arum, I want to see that fight.
Bradley has one more fight left in his contract with Shaw. Naturally, Arum is not going to get him to fight Pac while still under Shaw. So, he gives Bradley-Khan a slight push so if Bradley wins against Khan, the Pac fight will be that much bigger. Arum will surely dangle Pac in front of Bradley to get him to sign up with Top Rank, and another in-house blockbuster fight is in his pocket. Genius!
Basically its a business move. Pac man is running out of opponents who are feasible for him to take. Its would make more sense for Arum to let bradley get destroyed by pac man, then he can take Khan later down the line. He knows Khan would beat Bradley, He just knows he needs to find pac a half decent opponent, and Bradley is one of few left. Every time Arum opens his mouth i know what comes out is not what he actually means.
Just Bob trying to set up his next payday. Bradley probably won't get past Khan and Pacquiao would kill him... I think he knows this.
