    Sure I do and I do know that Bradley can’t perform the way he did in that fight because he will have a completely different style in front of him. Provodnikov is a one-dimensional plodder with serious power. But if he’s backed off, he’s pretty much lost. Not to say that Khan is highly skilled in any way, it’s his speed that will carry him and bewilder Bradley.

    Bradley fought an elite, fast-handed outside boxer once. His name was Devon Alexander.

    Khan, in my opinion, is better than Alexander.

    Fair. I'm just saying Bradley didn't fall to pieces against fast out-boxers, necessarily.

    Timbo would stop Lomachenko at 140.

    Holyfield wasn't exactly Sonny Liston himself.

    There is a clear and considerable difference in power. Bradley is maybe slightly better than Paulie Malignaggi type power. Holyfield could bang and hurt anyone.

    Also Bradley throws a lot of flurries and arm punches, not very Holyfieldish.

    They do have the same body type just different sizes.

    They also both have a big ass bald head.

    And they are the same color skin.

    Bradley was the kind of fighter who could adjust his style to the fight and still maintain a elite level skills. He also had Porters no quit tenacity. Bradley is a guy who always finds a way to win against Khan, a guy who manages to always find a way to lose.

    Bradley definitely would have won.
