Re: Tim Bradley's Promoter: Khan is scared and a Fraud
I think this is undoubtedly a tougher fight than Maidana & probably more than Bradley still.
My problem with it is this. Khan hasn't earned a shot at an elite fighter like Marquez. Granted JMM lost his last fight badly, but that was against an ATG. It's more the reasons why Khan's team are going for this fight that piss me off & how Maidana, who whichever way you spin it he should be fighting, is getting shafted & instead is taking the high-risk/low-reward route with Cayo.
Khan could solve all his problems fighting Bradley for the lineal championship (which Pacquiao will vacate as soon as Freddie wants to drop Amir in there). Most people on here know that I'm a bit of a Khan fan & actually *cough* buy his PPVs, but this move just pisses me off. I have a feeling if its close, JMM gets shafted. Again (see mssrs. Norwood, John & Pacquiao).
Re: Tim Bradley's Promoter: Khan is scared and a Fraud
I agree with JMM being tougher then Maidana in certain senses but Bradley? No way, it just shows how underrated Bradley in because he would eat Khan alive, he's to polished and well rounded at this point for Khan who in my opinion hasn't found an identity in the ring yet. Make no bones about it, Bradley is the #1 fighter at 140 and the best fighter at 140 imo.

I agree Bradley is the best at 140, but for me I see more danger for Khan coming from a guy with the level experience that Marquez has (particularly fighting guys with longer reaches and great handspeed) than I do with Bradley who whilst an excellent fighter, I still see enough weaknesses in to exploit. Khan for me is a better fighter than Holt or Peterson, but those two still gave Bradley some trouble. I think a Khan/Bradley fight would be a lot more competitive than most people think
Re: Tim Bradley's Promoter: Khan is scared and a Fraud
I don't think Khan is a better fighter then Peterson, so I guess we differ there but I don't see how Khan would beat Bradley on points. Bradley fights to much of every round and I don't think Khan is at all seasoned enough to win enough rounds from Bradley.
Re: Tim Bradley's Promoter: Khan is scared and a Fraud
What does it matter really?JMM is a marquee name with top exposure...literally for Khan....exposure.He'll just get taken deep and counter punched all night,a classroom for young Khan losing to a great.Bradley has been a solid respectable champion,hitting his stride who fights all comers though lacks name status.Not stellar is any one area but top notch in all,and has improved over last two go's...that said he too beats Khan.But via TKO.Bradley is one of the most slept on fighters going,and all he does is fight his ass off and win.Khan wants none of him,but will make better bank on Marquez.

Are you serious ?
Someone obviously hasn't seen alot of Bradley.
If i had to pick who was a tougher fight for Khan between a old blown up superfeatherweight past his prime in Marquez or a prime natural 140 pounder in Bradley i know who i would pick.
Against Marquez, i give Khan a chance because of his size and speed advantage plus the fact Marquez belongs nowhere near 140 and isn't at his best anymore.
Against Bradley, I give Khan absolutely NO chance to win. Bradley is too well rounded for him and is at the top of his game right now.
