    It can be tough to look good against Bradley when he's on his game (and not trying stupidly to be a KO puncher). Khan has more power and speed, but Bradley has a much better chin. Bradley has many looks and different styles he can present to keep giving Mayweather more to digest as the fight went on, whereas Khan only has one look and one style. Mayweather would probably have Khan figured out and timed by round four. I would say if Bradley brought his A-game, he'd give Mayweather a tougher fight, but I think Khan would give a more entertaining fight. I could see Khan getting KO'd, too.

    Wow. Seriously? This many people thinks Khan gives Mayweather more trouble? I could maybe understand the poll being evenly split... I hope people aren't only remembering Bradley's last fight, where he ridiculously believed he'd develop KO power in a few months and KO Pac-man.

    I agree with you with your breakdown, but its pretty possible too that while making it tough and mixing it up mayweather would be able to win the rounds, and while he might be figured out after 4 rounds if he could push that another one or two mayweatehr would be in trouble and with his speed not what it was it could be like the zab judah fight with khan ushing it futher

    Styles- probably Khan on paper

    But the gap between Bradley and Khan overall is so wide that the answer here is still probably Bradley, as of now.

    Khan with his outside boxing and reach could give Floyd problems but I voted for Bradley. I think if Bradley fights inside and roughs him up he could unsettle Floyd a bit.

    I don't think Bradley brings anything to the table that troubles Floyd.

    I can see Khan's youth and hand speed at least making it interesting for a bit... But you better believe, one of Floyd's precision shots are more than hard enough to make him dance.

    I agree.

    Bradley is solid but not great in any area, apart from maybe heart/toughness. He was outboxed by Pac so you would certainly think Mayweather would win an pretty wide decision. Khan has great speed and has never been outboxed so it'd be interesting, even though he would possibly get KO'd

    LOL, poll is literally a joke.

    Bradley who boxes smart like he did against Marquez would be Floyd's toughest fight by far.

    Thurman is Floyd's mandatory and toughest test at 147
