    :lol: at bradley getting an easy UD over Khan. Bradley's gonna easily outpoint someone four inches taller than him, with faster hands, arguably faster feet, and a big reach advantage? Don't be absurd.

    I think Berto is still raw, and I'm not sure if he will ever not be raw, but he would hurt Bradley, in my opinion. I think he would simply out athlete Bradley, in terms of speed and power.

    Khan will lose, I reckon, but I will have a lot of respect for him win or lose if he takes this fight.

    You all are forgetting one thing, just because Khan has called out Bradley on Twitter doesn't mean that Roach will allow this fight to happen. It's too high risk/low reward. No, Khan will end up fighting the winner of JMM/Diaz at 140, a sure win with big exposure and money making potential. Wait and see.

    He's not a nobody but come on. Paulie Malignaggi?! Thats not the kind of fighter to beat and suddenly make you a world class champion. Yes he gets credit for beating him but a lot of fighters have beaten Paulie.


    Look at Kahn's resume, look at the records of the fighters he has been beating. Then look at Bradley's resume and see that he has consistently been beating undefeated fighters, or very difficult fighters, of many different styles.

    He has done it before. The guy he fought last night was taller than him, hit harder than him, it didn't make a difference. Peterson was taller than him and as fast as him, it didn't make a difference. In fact most of the guys Bradley has been beating have been taller than him, and sometimes they have been faster and punched harder than him such as the case with Kendall Holt, and he beat them.

    Khan isn't fooling anyone. We all know he's fighting Marquez next. I don't know why he continues to talk so much **** only to hide behind his promoter. Remember when he proposed a tournament, and then his promoter got him out of it when Shaw talked to HBO about making it a reality? Frank Warren actually put a deal together for Khan to fight Bradley, and then Khan left him and signed with GBP. I have no doubt that Khan is a competitor and wants to fight everyone. However, he knows damn well he's not going to be fighting Bradley anytime soon. Khan has some nerve talking about people avoiding the best at 140.

    The guy he fought last night didnt use his height for beans. Khan does. The majority of his wins come thanks to that 1 and 2 of his, both of which are better than bradley's. There's no comparison between abregu and khan as far as knowing how to fight tall. As for Holt, good fighter but still, not on Khan's level.

    Here's what I know: if bradley went into this fight throwing those wide looping punches that he did last night against Khan he certainly would regret it.

    No doubt about Bradley having fought better opposition but to be honest, Abregu was a nobody and at times Bradley got wild and lost rounds in there aswell. I'm being dead honest and expected a Bradley complete shut out. But being honest, Bradley wasn't all that impressive at all. Khan uses his height and reach to a great advantage unlike Abregu. Khan is much more technically sound and is just as fast, if not faster then Bradley. Plus Khan has got the one thing that will help him win the fight and that's Freddie Roach.

    Do I think it'll happen next? No
    Does Khan beat Bradley right now? Maybe, but I doubt it a bit.

    The bad thing about Bradley is that he's letting these 140 pound guys fight more and that'll be a bad thing for Bradley because he's not getting any younger and is in his prime. IMO, Khan, Alexander and heck, even Maidana beat Bradley if Brad let's them fight on.

    That's why I think we'll see Bradley fighting at 147 from now on to be honest. I didn't like the way he paused when Devon Alexander's name came up.

    I agree Bradley looked distracted last night, like he didn't take the fight as seriously or as if he didn't do all his sparring. But he looked great against Peterson and based on that fight I think Bradley can beat Kahn.

    Bradley would beat the crap out of Khan at this point in their careers. He's much stronger mentally. Khan would fold.

    That didn't happen. He said he wanted to fight all the top 140 lbers, especially Alexander. Meanwhile, Khan's promoter is paying people to stay away from him, and Khan said that Bradley and Alexander need to fight eachother before he'll consider him. Now Khan is looking to clean out the LW division. Too bad he's not a LW anymore.

    I think he was going for a K.O. I think he was anxious to put on the performance of his career to prove himself at 47 and possibly get himself a fight with pac or someone big... but the matter of the the fact is that he isn't a knockout fighter. He shouldnt try and be one either because he just doesn't have the attributes necessary.

    I think he can beat Khan. Boxing is the theater of the unexpected after all. But I certainly favor Khan in this matchup. He's got the edge in the majority of physical attributes(including punch power), fights well using those physical attributes and has very polished 1, 2's, and 3's. Bradley has a few edges, like a superior chin and better inside fighting, but can he exploit either? I know that if he tries to box with Khan he will lose.
