    :lol:


    Khan would father little 5'6 Bradley, and I called that long time ago, nothing has changed but Khan is always improving while Bradley been sitting around, oh yes he beat some old shot fighter the other night was so boring I almost forgot.

    Shut up, Darni. Khan hasn't improved at all - all the same mistakes.

  4. And Khan has never fought any shot fighters, or any bums?

    Salita was great, wasn't he?

    I’m not a hater – I give Khan plenty of credit, I just wish people would stop saying he’s a master boxer when he clearly isn’t. Yeah he can jab and yeah he’s mobile, but those two traits do not equal great boxing.

    How exactly does Khan keep Timmy outside when a) he’s not very accurate with his jab and b) he allowed Maidana in time and again?

    I don’t have any issue with you thinking Khan could win, he probably can. But saying he will dominate Bradley, who’s never even looked in serious danger of losing a fight, is just ******ed.

    It says it all that you give him no credit for stopping Casamayor. Even Guerrero got put on his arse by the old man. Bradley managed to take him out despite Joel holding on for dear life and stinking the joint out. It was a good comeback performance against a guy that is still a problem for most fighters.

    i'd make khan favourite.

    but i do think bradley's style would give him issues.

    it's whether tim can catch up with him at some point.

    not sure he could.

    khan on pts.

    Khan's poor feet would be a big issue in this fight for me. Amir has a major flaw and that's his hands leave his feet...what i mean by that is they're not in coordination so his hands start moving faster than his feet can catch up with. This leaves him with poor balance and over-reaching and ripe to be checked if you punch with him or catch him on the end of his combinations. Someone like JM Marquez would have a field day with Khan for this very reason, but Bradley has the tools and counter punching ability to take advantage of it too.

    The other two other major flaws Amir has, which Timmy can take advantage of are his inability to fight on the inside (a trait in all Roach fighters) and the fact that he can't take a breather without getting hit. He just puts his gloves up. That is a big no, no against Bradley because he can outwork you and open you up. His porous defense and inability to steal a breather will be his undoing against Bradley. Khan doesn't know how to clinch either, so that will make it even easy for Tim to get his game started on the inside.

    If Bradley is able to punch with him i think he may even get the stoppage.

    I doubt he would fight Khan the same way he fought against Casamayor. Against Casamayor he knew he could walk through him, and so fought more flat footed looking for power. He wasn't even working his way into range, and was barely moving his head.


    Against Khan, Bradley would have to keep him still long enough and hope he could inflict enough damage in that period to slow Khan down significantly to the point where he's presenting too much of a stationary target. Now given that he's not a huge puncher, he would probably have to rely on outworking Khan and banging his body, but that could all be pointless if he's unable to cut the ring down effectively.

    No he did not. Not being able to fight anyone due to contractual promotional problems doesnot mean you are ducking someone especially when you have beaten better fighter than the idiot who thinks he is being ducked. Why would anyone duck Khan of all the people.

    Anybody who can really fight will beat Khan at 140.

    We'll see I still say nobody at 140 is capable of out pointing him they HAVE to knock him out
