Anyone else think Tim Bradley would actually beat Khan?

    I see Bradley taking a UD over Khan if they ever get it on, I know he's in dispute with his promotors but he's definitely got to make the fight happen with Khan because he's wasting his time waiting for Floyd or Manny to come free and fight him, he'll be waiting another year, get the two belts off Khan and become the fully unified 140lbs champ, that would make him a more worthy opponent for Manny and Floyd.

    jcairns1, could you please elaborate with specific reasons how you come to this unlikely outcome of a Bradley UD.

    Tim Bradley doesn't think he would.

    Nope, wishful thinking on your part, even Bradley knows he'd lose so he's ducking any unification match :deal

    Bradley wins this one for me too on points but both of them use the head so Im going for a technical decision with them going to the cards after 4 rounds.

    Looking at both of their careers so far I just think Bradley's better, Khan's talking about Morales next but what would he get out of beating up another old, shot fighter other than having another faded great's name on his fastly becoming padded record, the fights for Amir at 140 are.

    Victor Cayo vs Lamont Petersen winner - whoever wins that fight on Friday becomes mandatory for Khan's new IBF title

    Robert Guererro vs Marcos Maidana winner

    Timothy Bradley

    With the time he will be out the ring for before these two meet, Khan will be a huge favourite. Bradley has average power, wont concern Khan. Khan has a brilliant workrate I see him clinching this with a UD

    I do. But it's kind of pointless analysing it. Too frustrating.

    Khan would win a fairly wide UD IMO. Boxing ability and speed will be too much for Bradders.

    Bradleys a hard worker with enough in his punches to hurt if not stop Khan he also has good D and Khans flurrys will not get much change out of Tim. Im not saying Khan could not win as its a 50 50 fight but everyone is hypeing Khan way to much.

    Bradley has no power in his fists,only in his head.

    Bradleys knockout ratio is laughable

    I doubt it would get past the midway point. Both come in with head and i can see it being a stand off with lots of shots missing and mauling. Head's clash and someone wins via TD.

    Yes, but not easily.

    I would imagine it being a close close fight. Power doesn't determine **** if you can't land (See Khan-Judah), Bradley would land with mean intent. Fact is, Bradley is rugged, determined and FIGHTS BACK.

    Amir is still very susceptible to that right hand over the top when he throws a lazy jab. Judah caught him with at least three and Bradley would press the **** out of Amir. Amir would have to fight back every step of the way, and that includes on the inside to get Bradley's respect, otherwise Bradley's going to be coming down like a Pit, but without the bite, if you know what I mean.

    Damn, I wanted to see this fight! :-(
