No. That's kind of an insult to Holy. Evander was far more talented than Bradley, especially if we're talking at cruiser. Bradley is overrated if you ask me, but he was better than Khan. Not saying a lot..
Holy's power (at least up at heavy) quite often gets massively overrated, and Bradley's underrated. They're both in the average range more or less - Holyfield's is greater p4p but not by THAT much..
I'm not hung-up on speed when it's not combined with a decent ring IQ. 'Speed but low ring IQ'.... that's gonna be Khan's boxing epitaph. And if Peterson could bully and beat Khan - despite his speed - I'm damn sure Bradley would've...
Oh I know and agree. Khan is pretty much 90% speed and not much ring IQ to back it up. Though that speed can let him get away with his predictable attacks. Anything is possible here for sure but I still see Khan surviving a lot of Bradley’s counters when he finally slows down and is easier to catch.
Brads not really a big hitter so Khan might survive, and I am not sure Brad copes with the handspeed of a mature peak, catious khan well. Brads best chance would be the younger khan that he ducked, or the older slower khan that avoided bradley and is increasingly becoming apparent as the speedster ages.
Bradley ducked him Khan would have beat the hell out of him Anyone who says Bradley would have KO'd him doesn't know sht ab boxing Some of ya'll are nuts Bradley was smart to duck him Khan picks him apart from the outside and his bumrushes destroy Bradley's own bumrushes. Khan had FOTY with maidana while Bradley had worst fight of the year bumrushing and headbutting a clinching Alexander before ducking the chance to unify against a better khan.
Khan was smart to duck murray thaxton and yuri also the nate Campbell's Randall Bailey's of this world
I think the matchup is favorable to Khan. Bradley doesnt have big power nor is an imposing fighter. And I can see Khan being able to make things very difficult in spots. However, I simply cant see Khan beating someone of Bradleys calibre. I think Bradleys workmanlike pressure and adaptability will see him go through the gears to secure a competitive UD.
Bradley would have pressed that ass all night. Bradley was slippery coming in too. Khans spray and pray style is actually better suited for a guy like Crawford who wants to sit back, think and pick the right shot. Bradley would be inside all night mauling. It would have been a heated and competitive fight from the get go. 7-5 across the board on the cards.
It’s hilarious that we have clowns still bringing that nonsense up. Bradley turned down Khan to fight Pacquiao. Are you seriously suggesting that he was afraid of Khan but wasn’t afraid of Pacquiao?.
