    Khan PTS may turn out to be one of those bets where its 'doh...that was ****ing obvious'. Judah has been in with far, far harder punchers and his chin really isn't bad, getting sparked by prime Tszyu and broken down by Cotto isn't a big deal. If you're really worried about Khan getting sparked ya can do a Dwyer as well.

    :lol:

    Fair enough Flea but I just think after the mid rounds the fight will have settled down enough for Khan to get his points win.

    For the same reason Pacquiao did against Mosley though IMO. Being against an overly negative boxer concerned with survival.

    But it's clear Khan's jab is only at it's most potent against someone happy to sit statically at the right range such as Malignaggi.

    :deal that is how I see it. Don't see how you can call either Bradley or Khan the man until they fight each other or one loses.

    For me its because Bradley, while having a claim for number 1, beat the generally excepted number 2 guy, Alexander.

    Who really gives a **** until they fight each other? It's meaningless calling yourself a number 1 or whatever while theres another guy with a serious claim.

    Judah has still got it, has lost something now but still a very good boxer no doubt.

    If Khan beats Bradley, no he doesn't go above Bradley, as much as I hate Bradley(he just makes it soo obvious he's in it for the money, how many times has he said "if the moneys right") but because of the Alexander win he will still just edge it but just.

    But right now Khan would beat Bradley.

    One thing I respect Khan for is his willingness to want to fight; how many other boxers at his level with such a high profile who has already made millions, fights more than 2 times a year??

    Also, he'd already beaten Witter and Holt before Khan even entered the division.

    True. It's a bit academic.

    If we stuck to things we really gave a **** about instead of just shooting the breeze then it'd be quiet forum!!!;)


    (This coming from the man who has posted on here expressing his opinion on Ricky Hatton TV adverts!!!)

    Thats the one. Caused quite a stir in certain quarters on ESB one Saturday afternoon....:D

    But hey, at least its not a trivial question like who is currently the best Light Welterweight in the world.....;)

    Hatton deserved a bit of stick for that. It was cringeworthy.

    The point here is, you can't claim to be a #1 with a serious face while theres another guy with a very similar record as you that you ain't fought.

    Not fighting him now doesn't make his record any worse, neither does it make Khan's any better.
