I don't think Kahn is worth fighting. I think Bradley should move up and fight Berto, Mayweather or Pacquiao after this fight. If none of them will fight him then he should fight his mandatory and let Kahn beat Alexander or rematch Alexander. I don't think Kahn has done anything to earn his spot. He looked terrible in his last fight and almost got knocked out.
But a win over Khan would really elevate Bradley for the biggest 2 fights, especially the likely KO he would score.
There are ways to speed up the process of getting over a flu. He could take the herbal remedies, rely on sleeping pills, and drink orange juice all day. The flu is not really going to cause any problem except dehydration and that is only a problem if someone is out of shape, not a supreme athlete like Bradley. Bradley is perhaps the most fit boxer alive today. Only Pacquiao compares. I don't think a flu will be any problem for him just like the flu wasn't a problem for Michael Jordan.
Bradley would have more to gain fighting Berto. A win over Berto would do more for his legacy than a win over Kahn, but I admit a win over Kahn might actually give him more money. If it's about landing big fights and legacy, if he can secure a fight with Berto and beat Berto then Pacquiao and Mayweather will have no choice but to fight him.
Alexander by KO. Bradley is going to charge in head down and get caught flush with a classic uppercut. Bradley goes to sleep within 6.
You're still in 11th place despite not having made a pick in months. Two top ten guys have effectively dropped out, so you're still up there on the leader board and this is a mega bout. Anyway, I respectfully disagree. I think it will be close and I'm leaning towards Alexander. Based on the way we've seen Bradley dropped by Holt and the way Devon dropped Urango, I think that uppercut is going to give Bradley all types of trouble. I do not believe he is versatile enough or has a tight enough defense to avoid those shots effectively and consistently. Indeed, for Bradley to do what he does best, he will need to venture right into the range of Alexander's preferred punch. I think (and hope) it will be good, though, regardless of the outcome. :good
Bradley has a good chin, the best chin at that weight, and a better chin than Alexander. If they go blow for blow, Bradley wins hands down. Don't be surprised when Alexander gets cut above the eye.
People are really simplistic with their "Maidana couldn't stop Khan so no way Bradley could". Boxing isn't that simple. There's more than just raw power that stops people. You also have accuracy of the punch, timing, fatigue, punches from blind angles, etc...It's not outrageous to think Bradley stops Khan, although I'd personally predict it to go the full twelve.
Hope your right Jeffrey. Bradley is by far the nicer human being of the two, so i shall most definitely be rooting for him. I too am a little apprehensive after seeing his somewhat sluggish pre fight press conference interview, but perhaps a fierce uppercut to the nostrils shall dibulge a huge wad of snot and instantly re-energise him! And wouldnt it be a fitting bonus if aforementioned snot were to encapsulate Alexander!
