Witter and Holt were champions when Bradley beat them and his wins over Nate and Peterson was pretty impressive too. I prefer Bradleys resume especially if he beats Alexander.
His consistency, determination and adjustment ability is what makes him elite. World level fighters dont always have to have knockout power or blazing hand speed.
Yeah i said BLAZING hand speed. Hes fast but not amazingly fast. He even admitted in an interview that Khan was quicker.
Perhaps, but I think his hand speed is one of his most impressive attributes. I think he's probably the second fastest in the division.

Jesus guys chill, here this might help. Look at these cool dogs: This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
Darni I made a thread before the MAB fight called 'Khan will be P4P top10 within 2years' because I knew he was good and knew he'd get the breaks where he fought fighters who'd make him look good, which Maidana/Kotelnik/Malignaggi/MAB all did. However with all due respect Khan isn't a level above the other top contenders in the division However stop acting like you have a superior knowledge of boxing to the other posters because like many on here your supporting a fighter primarily based on ethnicity/background and haven't followed the sport extensively outide of that. Picking up a superior attitude will tick posters off, not because they hate Khan, but because they don't like your attitude and the fact you don't know half as much as you think you do
I think this^^ Bradley is a solid fighter, but I think his shortcoming are going to become much more apparent when he fight guys who have genetic advantages over him in terms of height, reach, power etc, his lack of power, and huge heart, are not going to help him bridge the gap all the time imo. Bradley has exceeded my expectations already, kind of how Cotto did when he beat Shane, Judah, that said, like Cotto, I think his career will Plateau and we will get a true reflection of just how good he is, which I dont think we are getting at the moment. I like Bradley, but I have always thought of him as a guy who will carve out a good solid career for himself, but that he wont have enough to sustain his dominance over the very best due to his disadvantages in height, power etc.
