    Instead of waiting until Alexander beats him, Khan should push for the Bradley fight as soon as possible, even if it means taking a cut in pay (he makes enough money anyway).

    It would be a huge win for him, and he has a lot of factors on his side, the two main ones being size and Bradley's lack of recent KO's.

    There's nothing quite like beating an undefeated champion, and Bradley is THE biggest scalp available at 140.

    Of course, he's also a very good fighter and the win is hardly guaranteed (not that it ever is), but Khan has the right tools and the match up suits him quite well, much better than Alexander would in my opinion.

    Not sure that Khan could beat Bradley.

    More chance than against Alexander though so why not?

    Bradley is a very good fighter, but he doesnt do anything brilliantly, well apart from his work rate. Khan, off his stinging jab, can possibly keep him from getting on the inside, and possibly win by decision. But I'd make Bradley favourite 65-35, simply from his higher level of opposition.

    A bad match-up for Khan, who relies on speed and a reach advantage, would be someone big, someone fast, and someone with KO power.

    Bradley is a damn good fighter, but doesn't exactly fit the profile that would give Khan the most trouble.

    Khan's improving with each fight, in a year or so, he'll have too much for Bradley.

    Bradley doesn't do anything briliantly? Are you sure? His tactical boxing and defence is nothing short of immense.

    Why rush? Bradley ain't going anywhere and a couple of wins for both equals more money.

    If they fought now Bradley would know enough and do enough to win, give it a year and could be interesting.

    His defence is good, but he does get tagged, u make him out to be Mayweather like. He walked onto 2 big ones from Holt, i wouldnt call that exceptional.

    Tactics against Peterson were spot on, as they were against Holt for large periods, but gave away alot of rounds against Witter at the start of their contest.

    Holt was a very tricky costomer and a big puncher. Bradley slips punches perfectly. Everything about his game is exceptional.

    He gave away rounds to Witter but so what? Even the best boxers lose rounds, thats the way the cookie crumbles.

    Bradley always has sound game plans, Khan doesn't like being put on back foot and Bradley used good defence even while pushing forward. He was put down twice by Holt because he got reckless and he knows that but he dusted himself down and come straight back at Holt.

    He Beats Khan IMO.
