Khan says Bradley better be prepared to fight in the summer
February 26th, 2011
By Sean McDaniel: WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) doesn’t have a clue about why WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) thinks that he’s running from him. Bradley was recently interviewed and he said that he doesn’t want Khan to run from him.
Speaking to clickliverpool.com, Khan said “I was shocked that he said I was running from him. I had a fight with [Marcos] Maidana and I knew he was fighting [Devon] Alexander. I never said once that I wouldn’t fight him. I was the one pushing this fight against Bradley, so how can he say that I’m scared of him? I want this fight to happen in the Summer, so he’d better be ready.”
Khan only has to get through the McCloskey fight, which shouldn’t be too much of a problem because McCloskey can’t really punch. Bradley will likely sit and wait until the summer without taking a tune-up bout before the fight with Khan.
Bradley is perhaps just hyping the Khan fight by making it seem as if Khan has been running from him, because that’s the only thing you can really think because Khan has never avoided Bradley. There was talk of Khan avoiding Breidis Prescott and Maidana, but Khan finally did fight and beat Maidana in December. Khan still isn’t fighting Prescott, but that’s another story.

khan is a b-class fighter. He is still a long looooooong way from being considered elite. He always talks about a maywaether fight which is funny because there are alot of fighters out there who can whoop his ass. He wants a shortcut ot a big money fight. He should earn it first by beating all these fighters. He is all british hype. nothing more, nothing less.
bradly has streanth and he keeps comeing at u bradly is not fast nor he has power he breaks fighters down
khan is too tall, has a way better reach advantage, and he does the intagibles good, while bradley is a head first brawler (no pun intended)
khan will ko bradley but if bradley will play headbutting khan will lose
Khan no doubt can control the bout in July against Bradley by simply using his Quick hands and his boxing skill, little skill, but he could use it. Now Bradley on the other hand, could really confuse Khan with his awkward style, and ppl we all know that pressure bust pipes. As much as I would like to go with the Boxer on this one, sry ima have to go with the awkward styled Timothy Desert Storm Bradley.
Khan is still learning the sweet part of the science. The biggest problem he’ll have with Bradley is that Amir is still too erect in his stance…and Amir still pulls straight back when trying to avoid punches. The lack of side to side head movement will be fatal for Khan if he actually signs to fight Bradley this Summer. Bradley’s style will also create huge problems for Khan, Khan needs room to punch…Bradley will stay in his chest…tearing his body down. Ofcourse Amir has a chance to win this fight if it really happens…but anyone thinking Tim Bradley is sweet is not informed…Desert Storm means business everytime he steps into that ring! Now let’s see if Amir is really gonna sign to fight or if he’s just advertising his next fight off of Tim Bradley’s name.
Bradley by easy UD.
IT WILL BE HARD FOR KHAN TO THROW COMBO ON A FIGHTER LIKE BRADLEY. REMEMBER HE NOT GOING TO SET THERE FOR KHAN LIKE SOME OTHER FIGHTER. STYLES MAKES FIGHTS.
Khan will win, but ut wont be easy
Bradley has faster hands and Khan is the most overrated fighter active. Slap, hold, run, great game plan. Lucky for him Bradley can’t punch.
Has to be Khan, Bradley will go in head first as he always does and will 6-7 punches at a time late stoppage
Why would he fight Prescott. He’s done absolutley nothing since the Khan fight. Kevin Mitchell beat him at lightweight ! He cannot compete at World Title Level, If Amir fought him it would be a disgrace !
Bradley better not make excuses when Khan wins by KO!
At least it will happen, unlike Fanny Pacquaio versus Floyd Willnever.
Cant wait to see this fight.
Good fight but Bradley is kind of boring to watch,
easy fight for bradley. u guys dont know what u r talking about. great thing about it as long as khan doesnt pull a hays we get to see who realy is better.
Bradley is not that good …neither is Khan but he is good enough to beat the Head butting Bradley
Bradley needs new tactics to face Khan. If goes with his predictable leaping in he is gonna be eating upper-cut/hooks combinations all night long. Khan already proved he can take a punch and with Bradley not being a power puncher i can see Khan taking a UD or late round tko.
With khans combination.. there is no way bradley could use his famous headbutt. I’m going for khan..
