    Got this from The RING:


    Bradley also would still like to fight Khan, whom he called “the most-protected fighter out there at 140.”

    “They’re putting non-punchers in the ring with him, which is cool. I’ll let them do their thing. But sooner or later he has to step up to the plate and fight a real fighter.”


    We all knew what was up, but when boxers bring it out in the open like that, then there's a problem.

    I think in a year, Khan beats Bradley.

    As soon as Khan feels the power of any decent puncher, he's going to fly away on his flying carpet. He'd be like thank you come again

    Everyone knows Khan has a long list of boxers on the restraining order

    Lol Lazarus me and you always come together in a Khan convo.

    I don't think Khan beat's Bradley full stop, i know people alway's blabber on about his chin, but it really is an issue. I'll admit if Khan could take a punch, he'd be extremely hard to beat, but every fighter has a flaw... And unluckily for Khan, it's a massive one

    Bradley Isn't a big puncher. He's much more of a volume puncher. Bradley likes to get inside and muscle people around but I think Khan in one year when he's better polished and has a much more solid defence will beat Bradley in a competitive decision. Khan's height and reach will prove big difficulties for Bradley Imo and Khan's jab will always be in Bradleys face when he tries to come in. But we'll see.

    Don't think Khan beats Alexander though.

    Although Bradley is lacking power he does not lack heart and he would manhandle Khan on the inside.

    Good post and agree'd. But you don't have to be a big puncher to trouble Khan. I know he's come along since Willie Limmond, etc, but as shown in the Malignaggi fight Khan still get's the red mist, swinging aimlessly and missing quite a lot in the first 5 rounds, both fighter's did. I think if he did that against Bradley he'd pay for it

    I personally don't think that's the case. In the Limon fight, Khan was what? 19 or something? He was still a teenager and his body was still very fragile and he had chicken legs. If Khan was downed by Limond, why wasn't he downed by Kotelnik who is a harder puncher and hit Khan flush many times. I think Khan's problem was his balance, his big arms, and his leg strength. But I do still think he'll definetly have that suspect chin.

    And to your post point, I think Khan took silly risks because he was able to take them risks due to Malignaggi being a non-puncher. Plus Khan did have a lot of pressure on him and was very eager to impress the U.S Audience.

    Malignaggi is very akward aswell and wasn't a good match-up stylistically for Khan so it wasn't a surprise that Khan didn't look all that impressive. But as I said, right now, he would pay for them mistakes as you said but Imo, In a year when Khan stops making mistakes, he beats him.

    Protected? That is how Roach rolls.

    He won't even avenge his loss.
