    Since both mens stock seems to be at a real low, both for very different reasons.

    Yes. They are both looking for a fight on December 15th, so why not against each other?

    And Khan would win too, because the only way you can beat Khan unless you've got amazing Mayweather-like skills (which Bradley doesn't) is to hurt him, which Bradley can't as he's more feather fisted than Paulie Malgnaggi.

    There will be a load of ****s in this thread who will be like "Bradley wuld shater a mere caan glass jaw" but that's not true. Since Bradley upped his level of competiton in 2006 against Vazquez he's had 1 stoppage victory- a TKO over a 73 year old, drugged up to his eyeballs Joel Casamayor.

    No. This is the worst time.

    Nobody wants it. Not even the fighters themselves.

    Nope.

    Good time for Bradley, terrible time for Khan.

    Better time for Khan, Bradley has no power either so he won't be able "to shatter Amir glass jaw" and can pick up another title, get his stock higher and go straight into the big fight mix.

    Khan has just been stopped, he probably has very little confidence at the minute. Bradley has just been very competitive with one of the top guys in boxing, Khan's former training partner who is better than him. I doubt Khan fancies his chances very much at the minute.

    The Khan that fought Peterson loses to Bradley. It would be a good win for Bradley as Khan still has a name. Of course, Khan beating Bradley at this point would do wonders, but I just don't see him beating Bradley. Not until he addresses major flaws in his game.

    His most major flaw was standing and trading with punchers, something he wouldn't even have to bother working on with Bradley, his inside game he should work on improving and for the record Bradley wasn't that competitive against Manny Pacquiao, I think Khan would be quite confident here. In fact I'd wager he'd be more confident than in a rematch with Prescott or Garcia.

    Why was he standing in range too long? This is the cause of another flaw of his. He has multiple flaws that I can list that will cause him to be in competitive bouts/contribute to his losses up at world level unless he acknowledges them and tries to fix them.

    Khan will never be good on the inside IMO. No one has even attempted to add an inside game with Khan (probably because they believe his long range game is stronger than what it actually is), and it will be very hard for him to implement in to training and sparring, never mind an actual bout. And never mind the next bout after KO loss against Bradley. Bradley has respectable power, he is also relentless and durable (he is not "featherfisted"). Bradley IMO would do a much better, much more intelligent job on Khan than Peterson did. Khan can't fight going backwards under pressure, this will be his downfall against Bradley.

    Bradley was competitive against Pacquiao. He arguably took more rounds off Pacquiao than any other boxer outside of Marquez, well since Marquez in 2008.

    Of course he would feel more confident up against Bradley than the 2 guys he has stoppage losses to.

    Khan has lost 2 fights in a row, and he should move up and get an automatic title shot??


    Um, no. :good

    I would watch the fight, any Khan fight is must see TV because of the drama that surrounds his fights almost every time out. It sounds like a good BAD card to me.

    But just because I would watch it, doesn't mean I think Khan deserves the fight at this time.

    Bradley doesn't deserve the likes of Pacquiao, Marquez or Mayweather. And he doesn't deserve that title (which rightfully belongs to Pacquiao) either. They are both coming off loses.
