Heard a lot of talk and a lot of crying for Bradley Khan now , and im thinking to myself why , this has the hall marks for a classic down the line , maybe 2 or 3 fights down the line after Khan has proven he is for real @140 and Bradley has upped the profile world wide . The Khan haters will no doubt come back with , " when is Khan gonna fight somebody good " and " Khan is a phoney " etc etc but think about it , if both fighters are still world champions 3 fights down the line they would of beaten some pretty handy fighters along the way . ATM Khan's best win is Kotelnik and Bradley's best win is Witter / Peterson , put Malinaggi , Marquez , Maidana and co on that list for either fighter and you have a head liner in America or GB !!!!!!
The 140lb division is red hot atm. There's a number of quality fights that can be made involving Khan, Bradley, Alexander, Urango, Judah, Malignaggi, Marquez, Maidana, Ortiz and the possible return of Hatton. Khan needs to prove that he can go in there with a puncher and be successful. A fight with Maidana at this stage of his carreer would be the perfect challenge. Bradley needs to improve his profile. I think he has the potential to rule the division, a fight with Judah/Malignaggi/Marquez/ Hatton would be perfect for him.
It should happen soon and if not Khan v Bradley then either of them fighting Alexander. The division has real talent in it and all of them are young, I'd rather they all fight each other than not and I'd rather they fight before thery're past it. Of course boxing being boxing it's likely that the best fights will never happen at all.
Im a Khan fan but if you are going to call yourself world champion you can't then not be ready for certain guys. Khan is the WBA Champ I want to see him fight Bradley or Alexander next if that cant be made then the very next best guy available. Seems it will most likely be Malignaggi about which I am NOT excited !!
Thats true but sometimes you have to nurture a champion in the early stages of his career as a champion that goes for Bradley and Khan , i beleive this is possible in this division as there are plenty of fighters who are very good but imo only two who have the potential to be great !!!!!
Khan will not fight Bradley until 2011 that I am sure of. Khan will fight Maidana, Ortiz, and Alexander this year.
down the line id rather see him man up and fight maidana next wat better way to make your american debut by beating the banger who made the much hyped hbo and goldenboy prospect ortiz quit ?
Khan himself states that he is not quite ready to take on Bradley, who he regards as the number one in the division, but also that he will be towards the end of 2010.
140's best are as folllows tim bradley zab judah kendall holt ricardo torres amir kahn devon alexander ricky hatton juan urango are jmm and baby at 140
I can totally see where you're going from and i know he is a world champ, but if Khan is not really, he is not ready. For me he isn't ready for Bradley yet. We wouldn't have this problem if there was only 1 belt holder in each division. Khan is real talented mind and i think this fight will prob happen is 2011.
I sort of agree yeah. There is the fact that he is a champ and should fight the best prospects i know. But, he will be more than likely fighting Maidana next. If he wins this then he will be picking Malignaggi/Judah i think to get some recognition in the states. If that happens then he does take on Bradley it will be a real money maker and a huge fight for Khan. He is in a great place in his career at the moment after coming back form that embarrasing loss. He has to be pretty careful but i think the above is the safest way to go about it without ducking etc
