    It is so embarrassing to this forum that idiots like you post on it.

    Khan isn`t boiling down to lightweight anymore so the Prescott, Limmond and Gomez equations do not come into the picture.

    I think Bradley would edge it, i've alway's thought Bradley would give Khan all sort's of problems.

    Ever since this Judah win, people are getting caught up into the hype thinking Khan is some monster. "People had it a 50-50 fight"... My arse, Anybody with half a clue knew exactly what was gonna' happen with Khan and Judah, so don't try hype the Judah win up to be massive when it wasn't.

    Bradley's ring IQ is what will tip the fight in his favour in my opinion. Khan's weight and height is an advantage, but is Khan smart enough to use this to his advantage? I think not. He's proved he can follow a gameplan, but he also tend's to get a rush of blood to the head (See Roach in his corner during the Maidana fight).

    If the fight were to happen, i'd lean towards a Bradley UD, it'd be close but clear. I don't think Bradley is ducking Khan, he's had a good career fighting good, legitimate opponent's and not getting much recognition. All he's after now is a big payday against either Floyd or Manny, and sadly he's gonna' throw his unbeaten record away by throwing himself to the lion's for a big payday

    Pretty spot on about how the Judah fight has skewed perception. Khan did what he had to do, but Judah has failed every time he’s faced the best fighters. He’s also failed against much lesser guys like Baldomir.

    So, yes, it’s a good name on Amir record, but not a meaningful one for a Bradley fight. It tells us nothing about how Khan would deal with a guy who’s willing to fight, using angles and trying to take away his jab.

    It was a good performance, but not over a true, elite-level opponent. Though, in fairness, there are only three or four fighters I consider that: Mayweather, Manny, Donaire and Sergio Martinez.

    Exactly, it's a good name but nothing more.

    It's like the Barrera name on Khan's record, fair enough Zab is nowhere near as "past it" as Barrera was, but let's not forget he's far from his prime and a lot of people think he got a gift decision against Matthysse (i can't comment as i aint seen the whole fight).

    It's easy for him to follow a game plan when he's getting little resistance, like against Judah, but we saw what happens when someone takes him out of his comfort zone, like against Maidana, and he looked clueless at times.

    Khan would win more rounds than he would lose against Bradley. Tim wouldn't capitalize on his best spells as he is a **** poor finisher. His only chance is too nut Khan out of his rhythm, a tactic Bradley is a master at
