    they obviously wouldnt be able to train at the same gym, I think its unlikely they will fight each other but if they do im unsure who would leave although I would predict amir.

    the only way i could see it happening is if pacquiao stays around for another 2/3 years which i dont see happening and obviously it would be khan having to go somewhere else because roach is like a 2nd father to manny

    Wont happen, More chance of Mayweather V Khan.

    Khan wont leave Roach, He wont be fighting anyone unless he can get past Maidana

    Although I no doubt he'd lose to both, and nor do I mean that Pac is better than Mayweather but Khan would be far far better off fighting Mayweather than Pac due to his style

    There's little chance of Amir 'cleaning up' 140. He loses to Desert storm Bradley any day of the week IMHO. I think two more fights and Khan won't be able to make light welter. The landscape will look very different by the time a Pacquiao type of fight came around aswell.

    Hmm I think you're letting your 'fan-ness' take over on that one.

    Based on experience and form, Bradley is still regarded as the #1 at 140.

    Just look at their previous opponents.

    Abregu was just one fight, I wouldn't obsess over one uninspiring fight. Motivation plays a huge part in this sport.

    So what? Khan's hardly blessed with blistering power himself. He looked like a feather duster on his backfoot against Kotelnik, he could have fought for 50 years and not made an impression, he barely landed any meaningful shots. He didn't do much against Malignaggi either, more wore down an already shop worn opponent thats taken a few beatings. MAB didn't seem too fussed by his power either and he had one eye to see them coming.

    It will be a tactical battle.

    Bradley may not have power but he is the best at 140. On form he can be very difficult to beat. Which is quite surprising (to me) cos after he came over and beat Witter I thought he'd just be a decent champ, nothing more. Sort of a Luevano type if you will but Timmy's kept improving since then and done very well. I expect him to beat Alexander and Khan.

    On Khan/unrealistic matchups - the amount of people that have mentioned Khan/Mayweather to me after Schaefer's comments ended up on Sky Sports :lol:

    Bradley's strength isn't in looking flashy or amazing in any department anyway, thats not what he's about, to look at him like that is to misunderstand what he does in the ring. He's an all-rounder, he reminds me of Holyfield in a lot of ways aside from the fact he uses his dolphin head like Evander did. Bradley is a type that likes to overcome problems and will perform best when presented with one, as he did when he fought Witter away from home, a tricky, tricky foe in his backyard. Calzaghe was the same, looked average against average foes but when presented with a stiff challenge he found answers and thats what Bradley has an uncanny knack of doing against a range of opponents so far.
