    Who takes it? Does Khans peformance against Paulie make you think hes got a better chance?

    I have suspicions about Bradley's chin but those are just suspicions. I think I know about Khan's chin and it's not good. At this juncture I would highly favor Bradley. By points or stoppage, he can win either way.

    I dunno. bradley isn't an explosive puncher, and he's much shorter than khan. I think khan tames bradley with his jab. Devon is another kettle of fish.

    Khan beats Bradley, but gets beaten by Alexander.

    You now seen first hand Khan's speed and great use of reach.

    Bradley is 5'6 even shorter than Paulie, Khan would fight at range use his speed, reach and use that killer JAB and score a UD in my view.

    Both fighters present the other with problems. For Bradley, its a tough fight because of Khan's jab, and Khan's 1-2 will land on Timmy, who doesnt have the best of defenses. On the flip side, Bradley is alot quicker then Paulie, and would be able to slide inside and land that quick right hand on Khan. Bradley isnt a big puncher, but he definitely hits harder and faster then Paulie.

    I think Bradley by decision. These are some great 140 pounders here, Bradley, Alexander, Khan and Maidana. Malignaggi, Urango, Kotelnik and Alvarado aren't bad either.

    I think Bradley will win. But, give Khan another 3-4 fights, more improvements, more experience, then i think Khan would be ready to beat him..

    Alexander beats Khan imo..

    Khan isn't ready for Bradley yet...good performance last night though. He looked very quick, and Malignaggi isn't exactly slow...very impressed by his jab...especially the double jab, although it would definitely be a lot better if he mixed it up a bit more e.g. the body. Also, if he could develop flicking out that stiff jab when he is on the back foot...I think this would no doubt help against his opponents pressure.
    I noticed he was jumping in a fair bit aswell...he's probably quick enough to get away with this against a lot of opponents...but at the top level, he could be punished.

    Khan's range would really bother Bradley. I see Khan pretty much dominating from range because Bradley wouldn't be able to cope with his rapid combinations and powerful jab. The jab is actually key for Khan now because a lot of the opposition are going to gave to take big risks to get in the inside and the jab stops that - Meaning that it becomes a Klitschko type jab, where it stops fighters from getting into the key position.

    Bradley doesn't have the best chin and would get broken down in the final third.

    Yeah, I see Ortiz and Maidana stopping Khan but Khan beating Bradley and Alexander.
