    I'd also like to say, that in the lead up to the Maidana fight too many people (way too many!) were overstating Khan's abilities and what he would do to Maidana. How they believed he would go 12 rounds with being tagged, I do not know. And when it happened - him being tagged and put in trouble - he seemed to have disappointed everyone and went back to being the guy who would have his ass handed to him by Bradley. :huh

    How about treating Khan for what he is, a good young fighter that's only begun learning properly since joining Roach.

    For what it's worth, I'm a Khan fan and I have respect for Bradley. I struggle to understand why I am "jumping on his dick." I'm just stating facts - Khan has a poor inside game.

    There is little time to learn at the top level. If Khan needed more time to learn he should've beenh eld back.

    This guy will not have a long career.

    I too think the Khan of today will lose to Bradley. Which is why I'm hoping the Khan-Bradley is put off for a fight or two, and allow Khan to have a few more training camps.

    There are exceptions. Pacquiao being one. Not to say Khan will be the next Pacquiao, but he can still improve to a level where he can enjoy a decent career. And if does attain a decent career, what an amazing achievement that would be considering his obvious shortcomings.

    i like khan as a fighter, but i feel its best for him to avoid bradley this year and probably get more seasoned against world level opponents, theres other fights out there for him that he's capable of winning but bradley isnt 1 of them.

    Hatton had a deal ready with Witter, Witter pefored terribly in his fight leading up to it, TV companies where no longer intersted at that time, when the was Hatton's career has exploded and Witters well.....

    Oh and he ducked Witter to fight, Tszyu, Mayweather, Pacquio, Urango...:lol:

    Again who has Bradley beaten?

    Pac has always had a good chin and big power as well as speed. Amir has speed.

    But he's not in a position where he can avoid Bradley for more than a year. After his next fight, it will be almost mandatory for him to fight him. The public will crucify him if he doesn't. He may be able to get away with facing JMM, but that's it. It does seem like he's going to have to face Bradley sooner than what's preferable.

    I think he falls short when he does.

    Well I guess that'll make it an even better achievement if he manages to do what he hopes to do. If he's as limited as everyone says he is, there is no way he will become the number one man of the most talented division in boxing.

    I guess we'll see have to wait and see.

    He won't, if he does it will be amazing! But 140 will be his limit for genuine achievment.

    I'm a big Bradley fight but as for finishing skills and not being risky in his last fight he was throwing windmills very sloppy performance.
