Amir Khan vs Timothy Bradley (2011)

Post by EdwardRevolver1993 »

I think, I was creating that topic a while back. But it didn't really get reactions.

According to archives, back in May of 2011, Timothy Bradley (WBC/WBO titlist at 140lbs) turned down $1.4 millions to fight Amir Khan (then-WBA champ at 140lbs) on a proposed date of July 23rd.

Bradley was in the process of switching promoters, as he was looking to sit out the contract with Gary Shaw and then either join Top Rank or GBP (to get into Mayweather or Pacquiao sweepstakes) or become a free agent and then fight Khan in late 2011 for bigger money (and without having to pay the percentage to Shaw).

So, Bradley turned down the fight. Instead, Khan fought Judah in a WBA/IBF unification on July 23rd in Vegas.

As we know, Khan and Bradley would never meet down the road.

But who would've won back in 2011?

I think Bradley outworks him for a decision win.
