What is the big deal about Tim Bradley?????
First topic message reminder :
Am I missing something here.....He just looks like such a run of the mill fighter who in the 80's would be a journeyman......
The guy is nothing special....I don't see it at all..
The guy is a complete over achiever....
Can anybody see him COMPETING with Curry, Starling, Trinidad, Pryor, Camacho, Taylor, Mcgirt, Chavez, DelaHoya, Hatton, Breland....etc etc etc etc..
Jog on Khan fight Brook, Morales, Judah,Mayweather etc and just leave this plodder behind..
Bradley is nothing special...

He thinks he sells better than he does.....
For sure I'd rather he fought him than the paulie's of this world.......You know it's not something legacy making or breaking.. and beating an ordinary fighter like him is not something that would discount greatness for Khan down the road..
In my opinion.

Re: What is the big deal about Tim Bradley?????
At this stage of Morale's career not Khans.
I'm not Khan's biggest fan but hes too big, too quick and would just be too much for Morales who is done. Morales doesnt hit as hard as Maidana so wouldnt even give him a pucher's chance. Khan would just box the head of him from outside like he did to Malinaggi.
In answer to your question Khans beat nobody as good as Morales WAS. Hes finished now and not a valid option. 6 losses outta 10 Truss? How do you get any credit for making it 7 outta 11?

Re: What is the big deal about Tim Bradley?????
Can't help thinking that Morales' performances against Maidana was an example of what financial folk call "a dead cat bounce". A last hurrah, against the one top light-welter without sufficient variety to trouble Erik at a weight for which he looks, to my eye, to be manifestly unsuited.
On the X had trouble with Y, Y had trouble with Z, so Z is entitled to a go with X line of thinking, then Morales should be allowed to take his chance against Khan. However, I could only view that as a remunerative and relatively pain-free night for Khan against a man who has seen far better days. You can't blame Khan for padding his CV and bank balance with as big a name as Morales, but a name is really all that Erik has left. In no way could this fight be viewed as significant as a unification battle against Bradley.

Re: What is the big deal about Tim Bradley?????
You could be right..there is a touch of x,y,z about it..
But I disagree in essence I believe Bradley to be the easier night...He is so ordinary....Outpointed by a mile for me..
Morales will give Khan angles and isn't a plodder.....
I'm getting 6 out of 10 because you don't agree with my opinion...
Styles make fights you're right....JUst as I'm sure you were when you picked Douglas to beat Tyson!!

Re: What is the big deal about Tim Bradley?????
Truss, the fact that you think Bradley is an average fighter is irrelevant to the scenario.
The fact is, Bradley holds two of the belts, and any fight between he and khan would be a title unification, Ring mag belt match for the position of undisputed Champ at 140lb.
Any fight with morales would be a money spinner against a faded legend fighting 3 divisions above his best weight class.
Bradley is a solid all rounder without being spectacular. For the reasons above he is a must fir khans cv - and likewise khan is a must for his. It may not be a pretty fight, but it's the kind of fight that needs to happen in boxing on a regular basis - ie no1 and no2 straightening out who's top dog.
If khan is established undisputed champ at 140 (which hatton never was) he brings a lot more credibility to the table in his apparent dream match (obsession) with mayweather.

Ha you're getting 6 outta 10 cos it shows you Morales is past it. He's lost to guys like Diaz and Maidana who arent fit to lace his gloves. Diaz scoring was a bit contentious i'll admit but still cant understand how you dont think Morales is way to past it to trouble Khan. Each to there own I suppose its all about opinions....

Re: What is the big deal about Tim Bradley?????
I consider Bradley's belts to be irrelevant...
Maussa-Hatton was basically a unification fight...We all knew that would be a walkover..
I don't rate Bradley.....and I'm not the only one..I hope one day you will join us .that John lennon has a lot to answer for..
Khan is one of the only names for Mayweather now..
Khan-Mayweather without a borefest with Tim is huge in this Country..

Re: What is the big deal about Tim Bradley?????
Maidana lost to the useless Kotelnik......so what...Mosley lost twice to Forrest and went on...
Sure Eric is past it but he's a great and his past it..is better than a lot of Malignan breads primes....
He's so past it I thought he beat Maidana..
I was marked and taught by the cream of the Roxbury teaching profession....
6 out of 10 marks is certainly alien to me..

Surprised you dont rate Bradley at all. Young, undefeated, American world champion I thought he'd be right up your street...

a wum who would bring Cotto up to try and wind people up if they were talking about football, sad and has had plenty of bans and his aggressive obsession with Mayweather calls me pathetic haha? bit deluded that like. Then a fat yank who makes stories up about going into bars and battering people on drugs, says Bradley is ordinary but he's rated as the #1 in the world at LWW haha, what a pair of deluded walter mittee's. Trussman, you try and be intelligent and call anyone 'pathetic' a 'wum' or a 'kid' who doesn't agree with you, and your cyber bully stroke tag along Mayweather fanboy is just a bonafied laughing stock. Who has had more bans than Roy Keane, the old saying goes you can't polish a Trussman/Genius of, i agree.

Truss im in Ireland at the moment. Loads of you Americans on the Fishguard to Rosslare ferry. Guess you lot quite like your tours of Wales and Ireland etc. I got talking to one of them who said they had a great time in Wales and the people were very friendly. I guess not evey Yank who comes to Europe has your low opinion of us...

Re: What is the big deal about Tim Bradley?????
Lads - please can we discuss boxing, not each other.
For the record - Bradley has made the most out of a slightly more limited talent pool than the likes of Maidana and Khan. Khan has fast hands, Maidana has heavy hands and power shots.
Bradley does nothing outstandingly - but he doesn't do anything badly. And he's beaten the number 2 at the weight 3 times now - in Witter, Holt and Alexander. I'll be interested to see what he does once he resolves his promotional issues - its not a secret that he wants to move on.

Khan is the best fighter in the world at Light Welterweight. The Ring Title is vacant. Khan will beat Bradley and be champion

I kept on topic 'dear boy'
read up the page yourself and see him tell me to go away and say i'm 'pathetic', the words baffling spring to mind. I'll keep on topic, Bradley doesn't get the credit he deserves, holds good wins over Witter, Holt, Peterson, Alexander and is rated the number 1 man at 140, and rightly so. Also rightly so is now in most p4p ratings, long overdue.

Re: What is the big deal about Tim Bradley?????
I have to agree... Bradley is an ordinary fighter... but this debate shows all that is wrong with boxing at present.
The "number 1" won't fight the other "number 1" because the money isn't good enough. Add the mess of promotional ties into the mix. In my opinion Khan would beat Bradley, but from what I've seen/heard, Bradley isn't worth the purse/Khan won't give more of the purse despite being the bigger draw.
The fight is based 70% money and 30% pride. If Khan or Bradley cared about unifying they would take the money out of the equasion.
As for fighting Morales... that wouldn't prove a lot, but Khan would earn himself a payday... which is what he seems most interested in. Besides, the guy has been calling out Mayweather again, I'd love to see him in there with PBF
