    I can see kahn winning this.
    Been watching some footage of bradley, and while he looks great going forward, he does not like to be pressured and doesnt fight well going backwards.
    The key to kahn winning this is his chin ( i will give him the benifit of the doubt as to it being glass or not )
    And him being able to impose his ramrod jab against bradley.
    If he can use his jab to good effect, he will be able to keep bradley on the back foot.
    If kahn cant keep bradley off him with the jab, then he will be in trouble.
    But to be honest, i see it 60-40 in kahns favour.
    If the fight can be made it will be a fantstic fight.
    Now where i guess most will rubish kahns chances will be his chin.
    And its a fair point, though we just dont know for sure if it was weight issues that caused punch resistance or not.
    Because i have seen kahn suffer with shots that didnt look to bad, and i have seen him take some cracking shots that theoriticaly should have put him away.
    Lets hope the fight gets made. Because these two for me are the best of the bunch. :bbb

    Watch Maidana vs Ortiz and tell me if you think Khan would get by either one of them.

    Umm for what its worth i think he demolishes ortiz.
    Maidana, hard one, once again, the chin issue "could" be the ***** maidana would exploite, if it isnt an issue in the fight, i think kahn beats maidana comfortably.

    LOL the ***** was edited by the forum, its meant to read c h i n k as in c h i n k in the armour. LOL

    I agree the fight seems to be in Khan's favour. Alexander, however, is another story entirely. Maidana can't reasonably be predicted by anyone.

    Not good enough to avoid getting turned over by a quality fighter like kahn. Thats my opinion mate. :good

    Bradley isn't exactly a KO artist either.

    Khan definitely needs to try and get Bradley soon.

    Fight Ortiz first and then take on Bradley or Alexander if he demostrates a very good showing. I still think Khan is green, but he beat Paulie.

    Beat Kotelnik who beat Maidana. Guy has a great jab and I'm American. Khan can beat anyone in the division except Alexander.

    Even if you were corect about Bradley not being able to fight going backwards (and I don't think you are), he wouldn't be going backwards anyway. Khan could have Larry Holmes' left arm grafted on to him and it wouldn't alter the fact that Bradley is very good at slipping punches, jab included. He'd be all over Khan if Khan did anything but run away from him. Maybe Khan will get better but as of now Bradley beats him and so does Alexander for that matter

    Khan loses to Bradley, sad to say but he has never been matched against anyone so far who he has not had a list of advantages over. Take into account that he is a talented boxer and it's no surpirse he looks good.

    Can be genuine top 5 in division.

    Firstly Bradley is around 5ft6 shorter than malignaggi. Secondly he isn't as slick as malignaggi he will bring pressure but doesn't excel in any area. Khan has everything going for him in this fight.

    It was my first time seeing Khan fight when he fought Paulie, but he just looked green to me. He was very sloppy and wild at times. Maybe it was just Paulie's style that made him fight like that or is this the way Khan always fights? He will get better, but he shouldn't be pushed so fast to get in the ring with Bradley or Alexander. Again, fight someone like Ortiz and when Maidena gets better, take him on. Yes, good jab, but an inside fighter?

    Good points, Bradley is shorter than Paulie, Khan uses his reach to great effect, and his jab is the best in the division. Khan would UD him and even make it look easy.

    Bradley is a much better boxer than Mallignagi. Holding your hands by your waist doesn't mean you're "slick" just because Ali did it. At the end of the day, Bradley's reputation is based on beating solid fighters, Mallignagi's rep is based on not getting knocked out by Cotto. Bradley is a much better fighter and imo he beats khan. If they fight and I'm wrong I'll admit it, bookmark my post and come back to me but after watching all of Khan's pro fight and watching Bradley's major wins I'm convinced Bradley knocks Khan out.
