    Bradley has offered to come to the UK to fight Khan. He says he came and beat Witter and he'd come and beat Khan. Bradley also a mando against Lamont Peterson so if Khan wants he and Bradley could make their mandatory defences on the same card and if they win fight each other.

    Let's see if Warren makes the fight :hey

    More likely to see Khan take on Alexander for his belt IMO

    Warren must be thinking should of kept my big mouth shut :lol:

    But as Izmat said I also think they will go for the Alexander plan and go for the WBC belt, The WBO belt will have to wait. :yep

    True but i think Khan would be the underdog against Alexander who is a really good, slick boxer with speed and power.

    If i was Khan i would avoid both Bradley and Alexander for the time being.

    Il be shocked if he takes him on............in my eyes...Warren would not take this as Bradley isnt a huge name.......and its to much of a risk.

    Warren will hint to Khan that a fight with Morales is more money and far less risky.

    Why avoid? The guy is wealthy already..........why dosent he test himself? He spars and trains with one of the best boxers in the world.......if he loses.......so what he loses to two very good fighters.

    He can learn, if he takes the gamble he might train harder, and have that fear inside him where he moves onto another level and becomes a far better fighter.........or do you want to wrap the guy in cotton wool for years fighting guys that are far smaller with big names, or guys far past it with big names......creating a mythic like confidence and then fights an up and coming prime fighter and loses?

    Bet you..........Khan wont face either Alexander or Bradley.........Warren would want to see real weakness in both men before risking his charge. There hasnt been any......both are solid world operators.

    Morales would be a better gamble in Warren eyes........the man way past it, a boxing god, hasnt fought in a while, and was a god like fighter in 122, 126, 130 pound divisions so i know the warren angle.......if Khan lost then it to a legend but if he wins.......then Khan has beaten two HOF.

    Although Khans win against Kotelnik was good he didnt look strong imo.

    If i was him i would take a couple of fights at 140, not gimme fights but good ones whilst he gets accustomed to 140.

    Whether he trains with the best fighter in the world is irrelevant, and where would Khan be on the world stage if in his next fight he fights Bradley or Alexander and gets beat?

    Basically he would be back to square one, and then Warren would have to once again reinvent his cash cow.

    Khan is very over rated in the British forum, he simply is not that good.

    Bradley eats him up.

    Listen Khan has already said he dont want to fight Morales, with this contract up for renewal with Warren I am getting the feeling Khan is trying to call the shots and Warren will have to listen or risk losing him.

    He wants to fight in America, i think him training in L.A and going to watch ring side at 2 Las Vegas fights Hatton-Pacman and Ortiz-Maidana he thinking I want some of that and who can blame him.

    I think he will get his mandatory out the way with Salita on the Cotto-Pacman undercard, and go from there.

    Alexander for me is a winnable fight for Khan and a high reward in WBC green belt.

    Right now both Alexander and Bradley have called Khan out, let see what Khan is all about. For both are hard fights Bradley the harder fight and for me right now the best 140 fighter bar Pacman, but yet IF Khan beat them both by next summer we can have on our hands the unified WBA/WBC/WBO Lightwelter Weight World Champion.


    I really hope Khan fights these two soon, and even if he loses at least he lost to top fighters and will learn from it.

    Surpsingly good match up, sounds too sensible, unlike Morales. I like Khan but I pick Bradley here.
