Anyone else think Tim Bradley would actually beat Khan?

    No. I see Khan using his size and reach. Jab,jab,jab winner by wide decision.

    That is a very good post Lazarus. Especially for a man who appears to be a Khan fan (I assume your avatar isn't ironic ;-)) I think Khan would win a close decision.

    Neither man really has the power to hit each other, a head clash would stop it at some point IMO. But although Bradley may land with crisp shots when he walks Khan onto them, I think Amirs flurries, whilst they may not be as impressive against an adaptable and rounded fighter like Tim, should be enough to sway the judges.

    Quite possibly, yes.

    It would be a genuine live fight either way, sadly however that means we will probably not get it any time soon.

    After watching his last few fights no. Khan is on that next level.

    No I don't see it to be honest.

    Bradley is at a big size disadvantage, speed is in khans favour as is power, Bradley can't hurt Khan and Bradley was baffled by the Jab against alexander (when Devon used it) Bradley will come in throwing the windmills from time to time, all Khan needs to do is grab him, headlock him and throw some body shots when that happens.

    All in all I see aq frustrating fight for Bradley, might look a bit like Wlad/Haye tbh

    I think largely the length and Jab will win Khan more than 6.5 rounds against Bradley that he needs to win the fight

    Khan has underrated power these days, I think. Talk about Bradley being an inside fighter and Khan having no inside game but Bradley would have to get there and I can't see how he is without eating some big shots, most of which he won't see coming.

    I'd say the majority of fights I've seen in recent times have been stopped for less, than for what Maidana did to Khan.

    Full credit to Khan, for sure, for pulling out a win, but I think folk have to get a little perspective.

    On another night, it would have been stopped and suddenly the whole Khan hype train would look very different. Fine margins for sure, but very, very real ones.

    Now we have Khan beating Ken Buchanan...

    What do you think of round 12 of Lopez Mtagwa. Or Forest Mosley 1?

    You can't make a case for Khan being stopped just because there have been poor premature stoppages in other fights. Allowing the fight to continue was the right call.

    i see khan being even better than he was against judah with some extra training because he has improved his movement and footwork quite a lot from the maidana to the judah fight. says to me that khan is on the way up and bradley has reached his level.

    if bradley fought the khan that fought maidana, it would be a very close fight because of bradleys tenacity and elusiveness but with khans extra improved movement, left hook, chin, timing, and ring craft he is a clear favourite imo.
