Timothy Bradley, "Ill be back in Sept,Nov, Khan is one of the Options

This is hilarious. Khan-Bradley is slowly turning into a poor man's version of Floyd-Pac. Khan has been KO'd before, and nearly went down against Maidana. He landed only 21% of his shots on Zab. I don't see why any top dogs at 140 or even 135 would be so scared of Khan.

No need to rush this fight. Let there be some stirring in the pot. I actually like the back-and-forth trash talking that's been escalating between Khan and Bradley. They will fight eventually. Pac-Floyd had to be rushed because they're in their 30's. Khan and Bradley are still young. If I'm Bradley I'll wait to let the pinata be stuffed with as much candy as possible before I step up to bust it open. Wouldn't us fans rather see Khan fight someone like Maidana or Rios anyway? Much more action in those types of fights.

 

I hate feeling like a Bradley apologist, but the above is pretty ridiculous. We act like we want fighters to be honest with us, to eschew the hype and get real. So when Bradley admits that he might lose a fight to a consensus TALENTED fighter suddenly he's a coward?

C'mon, giving the guy a hard time for admitting that he might lose and then admitting that it takes away an opportunity that is the boxing equivalent of winning the lottery is excessive. Or would you prefer that he delivers the same platitudes and one liners that fighters always give?

That said I think they should fight and as a fan I really look forward to it.

 

Just make the Khan fight happen. I'm a Bradley fan, but I don't want to hear more excuses. He's a champion and so is Khan, and they are the top two fighters at 140, so make this **** happen.

 

well khan can't fight in september, november is still a bit soon if khan wants another 10 week training camp aswell because he will be just getting back from pilgrimage which is very draining so he will want a rest for a month.

khan has a december date, i think golden boy will want to either make khan vs morales then or they could make a huge in house fight if they make khan vs bradley in december, then WBC champion morales fights the winner of guerrero vs maidana in january. if all works out we have a unification fight between khan vs guerrero/maidana/morales on PPV in the summer of 2012. for golden boy this would be great and make them alot of money.

 

You're a ****ing idiot.

He signed on to fight Maidana last year, but Maidana pulled out with a back injury he has since admitted was faked by his then manager.

Go back to soccer or keep your opinion to yourself for a while until you know what's going on.

 

Unfortunately for bradley he spent a lot of time calling khan out and when khan responded bradley dissappeared, argue about the reasons but it just doesnt look good at all

Then bradley says he doesnt want to ruin his chances of a pac or floyd fight and it gets even worse for him and then turns down half of khans uk revenues as well and it looks even worse! Its a duck, why make excuses about it

 

yeah but the fact he's now saying" khan looked very beatable against judah and if we step in the ring id whoop him"...... kind of usurps yoiur statemnet that he's just being honest.
he clearly didnt want the khan ight then made up excuses for it. now he's slating khan after a good win. very strange!

but hey if he gets in the ring and beats him then all will be forgotten.

 

man i hope amir khan gets what he deserves on september "canvas floor"

 

I say bull****. He's only saying this to save face. He got sued by his promoter cause he's one greedy madafaka. $1.8 million guaranteed and 50/50 split in all UK revenues and it ain't enough? WTF? atschatschatsch

 

yawn... no substance

 

lol this is true

both manny/khan are trained by roach.

both floyd/bradley are undefeated and black.

 

Like Bradley is some kind of a very entertaining and marketable fighter. he can't even sell more than 2,000 tickets in his hometown. He'd be lucky to get this kind of fight with his style cause only hardcore boxing fans know him. As soon as Khan goes up to Welter its goodbye 1 million guaranteed for Bradley. He'd be fighting for scraps just to survive. Him and his team are MORID. That's hybrid for Moron and Idiot deal:deal

 

Khan should ask an independent party to determine the amount of money each fighter generate from tickets, US, UK and international TV fees, sponsors and other stuff.

I say Bradley's worth about 25-30% of whatever total comes up, if Timbo asks for anything higher Khan should tell him go **** yourself, I'm moving to bigger and better things, not you.

 

But does it disprove his honesty? He says that he is worried about losing because it ruins his chance for a Mayweather or Pac showdown. Which is a reasonable assumption on two parts:

1) because Khan is a good fighter
2) because a loss would severely damage his rep and chances to get a mega fight (well, maybe not against Pac...)

And to be honest, I kinda agree with TB on the point that Judah isn't his most impressive win. His most impressive win is still probably Maidana. Beating Judah the way he did is impressive, nobody had ever shut him down like that, but this is the same Judah who got beat by Baldomir, lost his big fights and has always been accused of mental midgetry.

I'm not saying that it's not a good win, I'm saying that if he talked that smack after the Maidana win it would seem more suspect than after the Judah beatdown where hardly anything was coming back at him.

My point is that I still think he was being honest and not just running off at the mouth.

 

so he said," i dont want to risk an amir khan fight yet" but also " khan is overrated, i would beat him if we fought"

he should of just shut his mouth about the khan judah fight, if he is admitting to ducking khan then him saying he would beat amir, means nothing.

he's just not ready to relinquish the staus of number 1 guy and he's trying to hang on to it for a while longer by saying" khan is overrated, i could beat khan, ive fought better guys." well the only way he can validate those words is by actually fighting him. otherwise people are gonna quickly turn there back on him.


if a pacman or mayweather ight was in the pipeline then he has good enough reason to avoid a riscky fight with khan...... but i cant imagine bradly will get those big fights now. especially after letting the fans down. pretty much the only way to right that wrong is by fighting and beating khan.
