Can Khan beat Bradley?

Lets not forget Khan pretty much holds an advantage in every department with the exception of experience, chin and stamina. His jab is superb, I don't see anyone in the 140lbs division with a more solid jab at the moment, these guys need to put pressure on him to nullify the speed and that damn jab.

Tim is a good fighter, I would think he'd lose a competetive decision to Amir.

 

he has the best jab IMO. but i believe bradley does have the pressure to beat him.

 

I can't see Khan beating Bradley. I know it was a completley different fight but the way he was missing shot's in the first 5 round's against Malignaggi, anyone with (even if Malignaggi had more power) would of took advantage and hurt Khan.

He's still got a long way to go before he fight's Alexander or Bradley in my opinion

 

Yeah I guess I can see how the Pre-Roach Khan was ignorant of his weak chin, and not hesitate to get involved in a war. But I wouldn't say his new cautious approach has made him have less heart. It's just made him a little smarter. He won't be standing and trading with Bradley.

And yes, that Kotelnik fight in which he was forced to throw almost a 100 punches per round, made him a wee bit tired (not drastically) towards the end. But that was against a guy who covered up every minute of every round, giving Khan very little success in getting through and landing clean shots. Now Bradley will bring extra pressure for sure, but at the same time he'll be leaving his defence wide open. Expect Khan to have a much higher success rate in landing flush shots (with his loooong arms). So just like Khan will need to deal with Bradley roughing him up on the inside, Bradley will also need to deal with shots he eats when trying to work his way in. And as the Holt fight showed us (where he was dropped twice), Bradley unfortunately is no Margarito where he can wilfully walk in and weather all them punches.

It is a very interesting match up. One that won't allow for a wide win for either fighter

 

It's possible but I think Bradley's inside game and Khan's inability to shake things up will be what costs him.

 

Or they could just slip and counter it, Amir isn't fighting anyone who can do that right now

 

no chance

 

No...In fact, NO WAY IN HELL!!!

Reason: People are so quick to say that Freddie Roach is this AWESOME TRAINER. IMO, I simple see Roach as an AWESOME matchmaker. Example...Pacquiao has EXTREMELY FAST HANDS AND AN INCREDIBLE ATHLETE RIGHT??? So no-one finds it odd that with the large number of EXTREMELY ATHLETIC FIGHTERS WITH FAST HANDS, SKILL AND RAW TALENT (BERTO, WILLIAMS, BRADLEY, ALEXANDER) All have called Pacquiao out and neither are requesting additional drug test. Yet he fights No Defense Cotto, Low workrate and inactivity Clottey and "The Tijuana Punching Bag"...REALLY?

So now lets take a look at Amir Khan. A tall, rangy, boxer-puncher with some fast hands. They imported Prescott from Colombia to be another showcase fight...but Khan's chin got in the way. Then Oisin ***an (WHO???), Way-past-it Barerra(Really?), Kotelnik, Salida and "Pillow Paws" Malignaggi. Khan had NOTHING TO FEAR in none of these fights. In a fight against Bradley or Alexander...Khan would face a TOP-LEVEL, ELITE ATHLETE WITH EXCEPTIONAL SKILL, FAST HANDS, EXCELLENT MOVEMENT. AND IN BRADLEY...A HIGH WORKRATE...AND IN ALEXANDER, A SLICK-ASS SOUTHPAW COMBINATION BOXER-PUNCHER WITH LIGHTING SPEED.

And whats really sad about these responses, is that posters are saying that Khan may not beat Bradley or Alexander now...but in 18mo-2yrs everyone thinks/believes Khan beats both. So in actuality, you are saying that between the 3 fighters (Khan, Bradley and Alexander)...THAT ONLY KHAN WILL GET BETTER...REALLY? Might I remind you that Khan and Alexander and the same age (23) and Bradley just turned 26.

No matter when Khan fights Bradley or Alexander (if he does)...It will have the same ending:

Geez, did you have an orgasm when you said this?

 

yep. if they ever fight khan will take a UD from him and everyone will poop their pants like it's something surprising.

 

Bradley is too polished at the moment and Khan needs more experience. 3 fights down the line, I say he takes Bradley.

As I've said, Alexander will be the Shane Mosley of this era. Not getting the fights he wants whereas Khan will be the cash-cow of this era.

 

Bump of the Year Candidate!!!!

 

Totally agree. He is only 23 and has a very long way to go in both pyhsique and skill. He is getting better every fight so dont think that the Khan of today is at his peak. This is what annoys me when people say negative things about him.

Yes he has a weak chin i agree, but he has potential to be the man at 140.

 

Bradley is the most overrated fighter in ESB.

Lightpunching, pretty much small.

nothing special.

I don't think he is faster than Khan or punches harder than Khan. 50/50 fight at most.

 

No way , maybe in a few years if he improves but then Bradley will be improving too.
