Timothy Bradley: "I Have To Take Amir Khan Out Next!"

[Gamer]

c/p By Chris LaBate

WBO/WBC junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley has laid out his target list for 2011. On Saturday night at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, he won a ten round technical decision over Devon Alexander to unify their 140-pound titles. Now he wants the WBA title owned by Amir Khan. Golden Boy Promotions wants to make Bradley-Khan on July 30. Khan already has a fight set for April 16 in Manchester. There is no opponent yet for Khan.

"Khan is probably number one on the list," Bradley said. "I would love a chance with Floyd Mayweather. I think I've got to take Amir Khan out next, then there will be no doubt who the best 140-pounder is in the world. The key name on the list down the road is Manny Pacquiao."

If Bradley wants to take the high road to get to Manny Pacquiao maybe he should step in the ring with Miguel Cotto or Juan Manuel Marquez and not Amir Kahn..Jmo..

Bradley has to work on a power game before he even thinks of Pacman, Maidana, Marquez, Khan and even Cotto. Yogi referred to his lack of power in another thread and I agree, if he steps into the ring with no power against a seasoned fighter it`ll be lights out for him. No matter who fights Khan in England they better plan on a KO cause they`ll never win a decision over Khan there.

Right guys... no power and wayyyy too small for a bigger man... Mayweather would mop the floor with him.. way too big.
Bradley is a good little boxer.. but not real championship material.. leads with his head alot...
Cant tell too much from the Alexander fight... Alexander didnt lay a glove on him.

Want to know what I think about what Bradley said? Here it is:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The only thing he is taking out is......the garbage!

[Fibroso]

Cotto will not go down to 140 to fight him, neither will Paquiao. Maybe this will be a good one for Juan Manuel, he'll ko Bradley that is if he could go by Maidiana. Khan is out of my list. JMO

I agree, Bradley would be a good match up for JMM. With Marquez's counter punching ability, he should be in with someone like Bradly. It would be a good test to see if Marquez should be in this weight class or not.

As far as Marcos Maidana goes, I think he deserves a rematch with Khan. I think that Maidana should of won a few rounds in the middle of the match that he didn't get credit for. At the very least, they were close because of all the upper cuts that he threw. I think they really need to make this rematch, because I think Maidana stands a real good chance of redeeming himself.

The 2 biggest fights I would like to see this year would be Marcos Maidana vs Amir Khan II and a possible match with Bradley and Marquez.

I`d vote for a Maidana-Khan rematch but I can`t see it happening this year---the way these prima donnas fight every six months. The promoters will try to scratch every buck out of a rematch for sure, build the hype etc etc. I`m not seeing this fight (if each stays winning) happening till 2012----------let`s hope it`s before Dec 12 LMAO

I would also like to see a khan-maidana rematch but I doubt it will happen.Kendall holt has stepped up and willing to fight in khans backyard.Theres also katsidis that will give him a good fight.

Agreed Ramon----and with those 2 alone that`ll take us into 2012.

[Yogi]

Yea, I highly doubt it will happen this year also. I think that Khan will try to avoid another match with Maidana for as long as he or his promoters can.

Actually,,,, Khan has nothing to gain by fighting Maidana again... why go backwards? and maybe get knocked out?
doesn't make business sense... i wouldnt do it.
time to make some dough with the big boys. some name fighters. even a Bradley matchup doesnt sound good..
Bradley nor Alexander looked good saturday.... a blemish for sure. Borrrrring...
I say lets get some new matchups this year.... not replays of what we have seen for years.
Lotsa new and young fighters out there. Lets match them up with the veterans.

How do you have fight who then? The veterans that are on top of their game aren't going to want to fight a nobody that can't draw a crowd when they can fight someone that has a name and make lots of money doing it.

Look at the Bradley - Alexander fight. Neither one of those 2 could attract fans to their fight. They criticized Pacquiao for fighting Mosley and one of the names they were throwing out that Manny should be fighting was Timothy Bradley. Bradley has no fan drawing power and as bad as he looked in his last fight, Mosley is starting to look like a good opponent.

Berto was another name that they were throwing out that Manny should be fighting. Berto has no drawing power either. Sure he looks good in his fights, but who has he really fought? A lot of people think that his Haiti thing was a way to dodge Mosley and judging by who he is looking at for his next opponent, I kinda feel the same way. I mean come on, Victor Ortiz? Ortiz got a beat down from Maidana and by judging from his last fight with Lamont Peterson, it doesn't look like he has gotten over it. I don't see that fight doing anything in the way of getting him a fight with someone like Pacquiao or Mayweather. Instead of him trying to bring a little guy that has been beat down up to his weight class for a fight, why doesn't he go up a weight class and try to get a fight with someone like Sergio Martinez?

Instead of these new young fighters avoiding tougher fighters to protect their perfect record in hopes that they can get a shot with the top fighters, I would like to see them step up in class to prove they are worthy of the big fights.

Actually at 140 there is no other great fight other than marquez and that not going to happen.Marquez will probably get pacquiao next after both have there fights.So khan is stuck with a rematch with maidana or take on bradley.Its possible like I mentioned before kendall holt or katsidis.Other than that he has to go up in weight.I believe he is not ready for that.Jmo Anybody have another name I am all ears.
