\u201cKeyshawn, Shakur getting all of your opponents, bro. You second fiddle. Straight up,\u201d Bradley said on his YouTube channel. \u201cYou might be second fiddle to Shakur. Shakur is daddy. You son.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The situation becomes more complicated because Keyshawn and Shakur proceed referring to one another as brothers and have shown little interest in fighting each other. That leaves Keyshawn in a clumsy spot at 140 kilos because he’s ranked No. 1 by the WBO while Shakur holds the title.<\/p>\n

Unless Shakur moves up again or gives up the belt, Keyshawn\u2019s path to a world title fight stays blocked by the identical fighter Bradley says keeps moving ahead of him.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s an actual profession issue for Keyshawn because he\u2019s already 27 and still chasing the breakthrough fight that turns him into a serious star.<\/p>\n

The uncomfortable part for Keyshawn is that his profession has slowed on the unsuitable time. He’s already 27, and he still has not had the defining fight that turns him right into a real attraction. As a substitute, he’s heading right into a rematch with Albright, a fight that many fans already feel they’ve seen before.<\/p>\n

Keyshawn recently said Top Rank wanted the Albright rematch, but the larger issue could also be that there have been not many realistic alternatives available. Bradley openly pointed to the risk-reward problem surrounding Keyshawn.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cKeyshawn is a rattling good fighter, but he don\u2019t have enough for a fighter to be like, man, I\u2019m willing to take that risk,\u201d Bradley said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That problem is unlikely to vanish at lightweight or 140 because Keyshawn\u2019s size has turn into a part of the discussion. After the four-pound weight miss ahead of the canceled fight with Edwin De Los Santos, many fans already expect him to maneuver higher.<\/p>\n

At this stage, Keyshawn could also be higher off stopping the constant speak about moving up and easily doing it. A jump to welterweight and even junior middleweight could create brisker opportunities and take away among the criticism surrounding his weight issues.<\/p>\n

More importantly, fighters at 147 and 154 aren’t prone to treat Keyshawn the identical way smaller fighters do. The danger factor changes once he isn’t any longer the naturally greater man walking into the ring.<\/p>\n

Bradley still picked Keyshawn to beat Albright within the rematch and predicted a stoppage if he performs the way in which he did against Jermaine Ortiz.<\/p>\n
