I love self important twats writing posts which are far longer then they need to be. First Barrera did wobble Khan, what I was watching was Barrera hitting Khan and Khan wobbling, so that answers that question. Secondly I'm not hopping nor have I hopped on any expresses. I form my own opinions, I certainly don't go along with the crowd, especially when the crowd is as dense as most of this forum. Khan has a weak chin, it's been proven. You seem to be well over-defensive. He is a skilled boxer, yes although I feel he still has a little too much of the amateur about him. Bradley is just a better fighter. And please don't act like you're an expert on anything, you're not the reincarnation of Eddie Futch, you're just some ***** on a forum like the rest of us. I doubt you could "educate" me on how to wipe my arse.
No offence, you bang on about self important twats, well take a look in the mirror mate. In fact, just take the advice of your own post above, it seems to very much apply to you and your ideas. :good
Khan holds too much over Bradley.... speed, skill and probably power too. Khan to win by decision or late stoppage.
Thats the thing, people are looking at Bradley's past fights but are not looking at the Khan situation from a style point of view. I think Bradley is made for Khan. Again I say, the guy is 5ft6! He will have as much trouble fighting off the front foot as he will going bacwards. He needs to close the distance fast and get inside. How is that going to be easy against Khan who will jab and move? and let his own hands go now and then? meaning Bradley will spend a lot of time on the defensive, scuppering his own attempts at mounting an offense! Look at the fight for what it is, forget for a moment, who Bradley had beaten, take their styles and strengths in to account, and I can only reach one conclusion and that is for Khan to box Bradley's head off to a UD.
Bradley is made for Khan. What will these haters say when Khan handles him with ease? Paulie was ment to have boxing skills, that was too easy for Khan. People should note this kid has been fighting at a higher level to any of these at 140 from a young age, what were these guys doing at 17? Khan's got mad boxing skills.
Let's not forget Khan is decent on the back foot too. People make it out to be that Khan can only jab and go forward with flurries but if you watch the malignaggi fight closely then quite a few times malignaggi came forward and tried to get inside but got snapped from a sweet uppercut as Khan moved back then to the left. His movement is improving after each fight and is learning how to adjust on the back foot and not just walk back in a straight line. By 2011 he will be even better I think he will reign 140lbs sooner or later and no version of Alexander or Bradley will beat him in a year and even in a year Khan will not have reached his peak.
I cant believe there was a time on these forums when people believed tim bradley was average (particularly after the kendall holt fight). Bradley does have power though, dont let the fact that he hasnt stopped anyone for a while fool anybody, dude can crack. At 5ft 6" though he will be dwarfed by khan, and i dont see him getting into range often enough to trouble khan. On to khan, the biggest improvement ive seen in him is his reflexes/reaction times/timing. The guy can actually box properly now by picking his opponents shots off and countering. Watch the hbo version of khan-malignaggi between rounds 4-5 when they show the slow mo. Khan picks off a jab to the body. Walks malignaggi into an uppercut and then leans out of the way of a left hook. The sparring roach has given him has really sharpened him up.
