Promoter allegedly is talking up some potential opponents for Amir Khan, the WBA junior welterweight champion. Warren watched last week's 140-pound doubleheader and liked what he saw. Warren is crafty and if you read between the lines, he seems to be making some early hype for a potential unification clash between Khan and WBO champion Timothy Bradley. He says Bradley is the man to beat at the weight.

"Amir Khan announced himself as a major player at 140lb last month with his win over Andreas Kotelnik. But two young fighters in the States are also making waves, and backed up their world-class credentials last weekend. Timothy Bradley is the man to beat following a cut-eye, stoppage win over Nate Campbell," Warren said.

"The ending was controversial and Campbell's promoter Don King filed a protest with the WBO, whose title was at stake. But Bradley is already looking at bigger fights, and says he wants to face Ricky Hatton next. A mouth-watering unification fight against Khan is also on the horizon."

Warren had few good things to say about Junior Witter and his loss to Devon Alexander. Witter quit on his stool at the end of the eight round. Alexander won the vacant WBC title.

"He'll now be known as Witter the Quitter. Although Witter was WBC champ for nearly two years, he always lived in the shadow of Hatton. And I doubt fans will remember him fondly as he seemed to make a name for himself by running down other fighters," Warren said.

Its the patented and well used Fwank Warren formula for ripping off the sport that will unfortunantly continue as long as Fwank is still in the business. Its the reason I no longer folllow any of Warren's so called promotions and fighters. The man has ruined British Boxing and made it a shadow of its former self.

you are an idiot!!! this fight makes sense bradley is not a huge puncher but can bang a bit and is a good boxer..he beat witter in a split decision last year..it is a 50/50 fight for me.. kahn is 22 years old what do you expect him to do fight cotto? pacman? i dnt like frnk warren either but amir kahn is his own man he will not let frank give him bums..bradley is a quality opponent..wheelchair you seriously need to watch more boxing..kahn has not fought bums..kotelnik is not a bum he is a good fighter..hatton didn't step up in class til he was like 26!

I have seen hundreds of bouts thank-you! Kotelnik was a very weak champion indeed. Khan will NEVER fight Bradley, you mark my words. Khan has not fought bums, eh? I'm going to fall out of my wheelchair with laughter now!

Oh, and I'm not an idiot, please grow up and try to use the forum in a mature fashion.

Khan won't fight Bradley until he's been ko'd a few times and is on the slide,you can be assured that khans next few opponents will be either old,smaller or non punchers or all three in one,and no way was kotelnik a good world champ as i said in previous posts before khan beat him they chose kotelnik because they thought he was poor,khan even said he thought kotelnik was the worst world champ in the world and that wasn't to hype the fight because the match was made easily and it showed he was poor because he had absolutely no answer to khans movement.

Khan has only faced one undefeated fighter to date and we know how that went.

A fighter who runs like Khan, when faced with a good pressure fighter will crumble again.

All other things considered, it's very unlikely that Khan's first defence will be a unification fight.

Someone like Herman Ngoudjo seems to fit the bill better.

....

also, why do people think that a promotor "hinting a clash might happen" is a sign that it will happen? Doesn't experience tell us that, if anything, what is hinted at WON'T happen.

I've no doubt Khan can get himself high on the pound-for-pound list over the next couple of years, but I don't really care to be honest. Good luck to him though - seems like a decent kid.

bradley is not a pressure fighter and is not a huge puncher!!

People on here talk some crap Khan will kill Bradley. Khan has only faught bums??? he's practically at the start of his career what do you expect, and has just beat a decent fighter.

tonyevs wrote:Got to disagree. Bradley isn`t the most devastating puncher in the division .. but when can you remember anybody flooring Witter so heavilly? with Khan`s chin - can you see him even trying to get up off the floor after having taken one of them?

Bradley is very under-rated, He has an excellent boxing brain and a work rate Khan would do well to stay with. He would certainly find the answer the plodding kotelnik could not.

I'll bet as he becomes more comfortable fighting in that style, he'll take more risks and become a more exciting fighter. For example, I expect his punch power to increase as well as the effectiveness of it. This I envisage over the next few years. Anyone else feel the same ?
