Those are good options, Berto especially.
But, why not Keith Thurman or Paulie Malinaggi ?
Any top contender or title holder would be nice.
Aydin kept charging and kept the pressure, but I had never heard of him and neither had a lot of people.
Since maidana is at 147 now and they had a previous match fall thru I think would it be a good option, if maidana looks good against karass. Any of the top ten guys just no pbf...
Maidana would be a war against Thurman. Great undercard fight.
Tim Bradley
For sure. Maidana needs to get past Soto-Karass firs though and judging by Maidana's last performance, that will be no small feat.Quote:

In all likelihood he'll probably fight a Golden Boy fighter next IMO...I'm thinking Malignaggi.
RG is a clever fighter with good speed and I could see him outworking Bradley to a points desicion. A bit weird because I don't think he would last more than a couple rounds against Pacquiao or any of the heavy handed guys up at the weight. The sooner someone beats Bradley the better, I even think Khan despite his chin would beat Bradley.Quote:

IDK, I might go with Khan against Bradley too. Bradley just don't show me enough. Khan's chin is the question but his boxing skills is better then Bradley's(IMO). 147 is looking to be a deep division. Even the non title holders can make for great fights, Ortiz vs Thruman vs Maidana vs Brook!!!Quote:

Khan need a career move at this point. And the Ghost might have the least pop in his punch at 147. Unless he fight Mike Jones.Quote:

It might not take a lot of "pop" to wobble Khan at this point... and we've all seen how Khan tends to get careless. Guerrero's busy... so the chances of tagging Khan's chin are pretty good. Another debacle like the one vs Garcia, and Khan's confidence will drop below sea level. But it's up to his handlers what they want to do with him next, I guess.

IMO Khan will in hindsight be remembered as Bradley's second fiddle at 140, he (Amir) was flashier and had more charisma but when he stepped it up he lost (Peterson & Garcia) where as when Tim stepped it up he rose to the occasion and pulled out the W
Yeah right

Provided his last loss hasn't affected him too much I would fancy Khan to beat Guerrero. Guerrero looked massive at the weight and bigger than Aydin (I thought) but doesn't have a lot of pop on his punches. I think Khan would edge a twelve round war. But then Khan holds a welterweight trinket and who do you put him in with at 147 who won't rock his chin? Can't see Golden Boy going for that option.
Bradley beats Guerrero easily. Berto beats him too. Malinaggi would be a hell of a fight. I'd like to see that one.
Bradley don't have much of a pop neither. Plus he just came up in weight himself. I'll go with Grerreo over Bradley. But now that Berto signed with TMT, I can see Berto vs Bradley this winter.Quote:

Not really, perfectly reasonable assessment.Quote:
