Bradley wants fights with Khan, Hatton and Marquez
December 21st, 2009
By William Mackay: World Boxing Organization light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (25-0, 11 KO’s) wants a fight with WBA light welterweight title holder Amir Khan, according to Fighthype. “Let’s go after Amir Khan and Ricky Hatton if he wants to get back in the ring. Lets go after [Juan Manuel] Marquez,” Bradley said. That’s good that Bradley isn’t limiting himself to only one fighter, because the chances of him fighting any of these three are rather small at this time. Khan would be the perfect fight for Bradley to get his name out there for the world public.
Hatton could be coming back in the middle of next year. However, Hatton will be looking to get a fight with a big star and not someone like Bradley who is trying to make a name for himself. Bradley, of course, is a champion, but he’s not that well known to the casual boxing fan right now, even though he’s unbeaten and with a better record than Khan. Hatton would be biting off more than he could chew if he were to come back against a fighter like Bradley. This is why I doubt he’ll opt to fight Bradley. It’s too dangerous of a fight and there isn’t the big money in a fight with him compared to other fights out there for Hatton.
Marquez would be a great opponent for Bradley, but he’s also looking in another direction hoping for a fight against Hatton.
If Bradley wants to establish himself as a big star, he’ll likely have to get there by defending his title for a few years and try to get the other champions to unify the belts. I wouldn’t hold my breath if I was him waiting for Khan, Hatton or Marquez to fight him, because I don’t see any of them fighting him in this lifetime. Not unless Bradley starts looking really beatable.

I can’t believe anyone would pick Khan over Bradley… Bradley has beaten way better fighters! Khan like everyone else is taller and has a reach advantage… So did Holt, Peterson, etc. Bradley always finds a way to win, and he would destroy Khan!!! Bradley has a great chin, Holt is the only guy to ever knock Bradley down , but keep in mind Holt is the hardest hitting at 140. Khan needs to stay in England, because he is not ready for Timothy Bradley!!! Sorry to all you Khan lovers, Bradley is too much for the English hype! Khan if you wanna keep your belt, DO NOT FIGHT BRADLEY!!!
ALL YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IS IS THE FIGHT WE ALL WANT TO SEE IS PACMAN VS MONEY MAYWEATHER LET GET IT ON PAC MAN IS A GOOD BOXER HE AS TATTOES ALL OVER IS BODY SO SOMEONE SAID SO WHY PACMAN IS RUNNING FROM THE BLOOD TEST JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND
All this hype about amair khan all amair khan fight is cherry picked other british fighter who do not duck out of fights but face the best fighters but khan trainer and promoter is going to make him a world champion by side stepping the real dangerous fighters like the one who knock him out presscot if khan is what people are saying he is fast he a good fighter but he is ducking if khan is what he think of himself he should prove us all and fight prescott and put the record straight like a british boy who i know did not run from prescott but did fight him and beat him great fighter like clay did not run from liston tyson did not run from anyone lewis did not run from holyifield holifield did not run from tyson.
some promoter is saving the skin of their fighter by giving them a soft rabbit to play with to make them look good so they can make loads of money picking fighters that is way over the top old fighter if khan want to look good hatton is waiting for him he always talk with is big mouth that he want to fight rickey i would like to see him
fight rickey hatton that would be a cracker may the besy man win
i belive Khan is better than Hatton and not Marquez and Maidana. I think maidana knocks him out. Marquez would be outpoited till he gets to Khans chin and then KUMBAYA for khan.
As for Khan fighting Bradley…. it wont happen. Freddie Roeach cannot find ring habbits to poke on Bradley. He’s hungry and he’s a champion. There’s nothing tougher than a hungry champ… He will eat… no jokes.
Nobody beats bradley at 140 unless he has a rematch with Holt. Holt has to figure out how to keep bradley from butting him and then use his jab and that wonderfull left hook that had bradley down twice.
I give it to Bradley for surviving the first knockdown. Nobody else would. Look for it on youtube… it’s the most perfect left hook you will ever see.
Khan is better then Hatton Bradley Marquez and Maidana….
ateeq
Bradley’s a midget compared to everybody and typically has a lower KO rate than his opponent. Hasn’t meant a thing yet.
bradley doesn’t handpick his opponents like some fighters.. he has a 80′s and 90′s champion type like attitude where he’ll fight anyone. anyplace at anytime!..mayweather and pacquiao are you two cherrypickers listening?
Khan should give this guy a shot and stop him like Witter would have under different circumstances.
Khan would kill bradely, bradley may be a good fighter but khan has more KO’s and he is a midget compared to khan with kham being 5”10 and bradely 5”6. khan has the size advantage.
i don’t rate khan but he’s bigger than bradley, quicker than bradley & a more devasting puncher than bradley. bradley doesn’t knock out many guys & holt showed he’s droppable. bradley will simply not be able to live with his power & speed.
the fight bradley should be looking at is alexander…but he’s obviously ducking him…which for some reason never gets mentioned while khan’s opponents are always under insane scrutiny. anyway, imo alexander takes both of them.
el tsunami,
I gotta disagree, Holt, though he only has 13 KO’s can crack pretty hard. That first knockdown was absolutely brutal and would have had most fighters down for the count.
Bradley would be a tough opponent for Khan and from what Ive seen Khan is scared to face the best in the division so unfortunately Bradley wont get the shot he deserves. Improving with every fight Bradley is arguably the best in the light welterweight division and has a full head of steam making a name for himself worldwide, pretty soon its gonna be hard for anyone to beat him.
why does everyone want to fight hatton? i want to see Bradley Vs Marquez i think Marquez can control Bradleys Speed i just wonder if he has his Punch at 140 if he does he can Knockout Bradley..Bradley was down 2 times against Holt who is not a power puncher..
You fail to mention Bradley has a better record than Hatton too! What you guys will NEVER understand about speed fighters is they always overwhelm a slow brawler, Hatton is dead wood, a has been, or truthfully a never ever been, fighting mediocre or washed up guys and then meeting his real match in Pacman/FM
You limies need to get over Hatton, Khan,Bradley and Marquez would murder this fool any day of the week.
Blakey,
Bradley would batter Khan, hands down. Khan almost didn’t get knocked out by Prescott….
See how illogical that sounds? I’m not a fan of Amir but at the same time I’m not a detractor, but some of the posts on both sides of the fence regarding a matchup between Bradley and Khan are a little ridiculous.
Khan would batter Bradley, Bradley barely got passed a washed up has been in Junior Witter. Khan would destroy him.
