I know its a bit of a juvanille topic but....

People probably saw the part of ringside where khan was being matey with ortiz (former amature victim) then saw bradley and told him to grow some balls.

Was it me or did bradley look intimidated and ashamed? I've seen a few interviews with bradley and i honestly think he maybe in awe of khan, i dont think he believes himself to be the division number 1. Now i know theres being professional but if he seriously isnt scared of khan, bearing in mind the amount of grief he's getting, im sure in the interviews he would show some more "umpf".

After all khan is the bigger draw in the divison even in bradleys own country, surely that ignites a fire in a man who believes himself to be the rightful number 1.

Big props to Khan...see his face when he saw Bradley - bit of an awkward moment but Khan handled it well. Was funny too

x 2, particulary agree on size difference. Khan looked 2 weights classes bigger.

Been a tough week for Khan really, he had a tough ask to commentate on JMM and Pac and he called it pretty well, going against his buddy. I'm dissapointed that he is now saying the "better guy won".

On one part of the Primetime broadcast he can be heard saying "He's doing shit bro" or "He's shit bro" unaware his mic was picking him up.

any footage ??

It adds a bit more needle to their potential fight. I would have rather seen that than Khan saying "good evening old chap, looking forward to meeting you for a box soon". Bradley didn't like it one bit.

Also the size difference i noticed-Looked like fighters in different weight classess.

This size difference appeared to be huge - although Bradley has always looked strong at 140 despite often looking the smaller man. He's faced big Light Welters in the past and out strengthed them.

Ortiz looked a fair amount bigger than Khan, does Ortiz normally balloon up in weight?

Here's the ringside piece, not sure if you meant that of the Primetime thing.

i think people are looking far too much into this....khan and bradley stared at each other and khan said something to bradley when he was passed him , then bradley replied.

nobdy looked scares , in awe or anything

Khan seems wants the fight way more than Bradley..... who is already using the "I'll see which way my management want to go" route.

"T.M.K"

i dont really go on twitter buy my mate says Bradley is tweeting that he wants to fight Khan in May and winner takes all money

id Fancy Khan to Win But Braley will be his toughest test to date

make it in London, a real top level fight just before the olympics.

Bradley looked spooked, he didn't say jack to Khan in response.

Bradley looks spooked? What? You can hardly see his face in this clip! he also probably didn't even understand Khan's poorly enunciated mumbling.

He looked at him with a smile on his face and said grow some balls man in a softly spoken voice. I think anybody would walk on by without taking any notice to be honest.

Agreed

Bradley in all fairness probably didn`t even hear him .. or understand him if he did.
And to say he looked spooked ... ... what an imagination ..

cant believe the idiots on here who think bradley is scared of khan. and khans got cheek talking about growing balls....where were his when he was busy avoiding any known puncher....except for the one who kod him..and he still never went back near him. khan is very immature and unlikable. i hope bradley smashes him to pieces

oh not one of these bell ends? go on mate, when did khan avoid the big puncher? when he was fighting at domestic level? when he was fighting at world level?

Bradley is scared of khan imo, and to the people saying he may not have noticed what khan was saying - the guy walked infront of him and said it.

I think you're reading way too much into that 2 second 'exchange.' Bradley was on his way to give an interview, the music was blaring, and Amir was muttering. Bradley looked him right in the eyes and moved on; he didn't strike me as a man who was 'spooked' in any way.

Bradley has a proven track record of fighting top opposition, and he has been chasing a fight with Pacquiao for a while now. I doubt that Bradley is scared of any fighter.

i found this very frank interview with bradley

http://youtu.be/R5WPQ-IweIM

Bradley says i can get 1.2 million for fighting any fighter in the top 10 next because thats the condition of my contract with HBO, so why fight another tough opponent.

He also says he's not allowed any options in the Khan fight because he has been told khan is the bigger draw, which bradley disputes but is true.

He then says that if he looses to amir khan he's left with nothing and the chances of the big fights are gone and the fight is too risky.

Fair play to the man for being honest, boxing at the end of the day is a business and he should maximise his "brand" to make as much as he can. However that is not the talk and comments of a man that 100 % believes he can win the fight. When has a champion ever been interviewed and said i dont want to fight him now because i could loose?

How does any of that suggest that Bradley is 'scared' of Khan?

Bradley may be 70% sure that he would beat Khan, but he can make $1.2 million and possibly get a bout with Pacquiao by taking fights that he is 98% sure he will win. So Bradley might be avoding Khan for financial reasons, but that doesn't mean that he is scared of him.

Since Bradley is now with Top Rank there is a good chance that he will get the Pacquiao bout that he has been chasing.

im suggesting he isnt 100% confident he can beat khan, which means he's doubting himself and his abilities.

I don't agree with that. He may not be 100% sure that he would beat Khan on the night, but I highly doubt that he is unsure as to whether he is capable of beating him.
