    Khan like Bradley can ONLY rely on his legs for defense. That is his ONLY defensive option. Therefore if he is facing a fighter that can come forward and hit him it takes him out of his rhythm.

    Bradley on the other hand even though he is far shorter, has a complete repertoire of defensive tools. It is why he is able to take chances and feel comfortable doing so.

    Bradley also isn't a stand still sitting target. He will out maneuver Khan on the outside when he wants to take breaks and then close distance when he wants to fight.

    There is no question Khan is faster of hand, no question Khan punches harder.....**** Devon punches harder. But Bradley is the far more complete fighter. Not only can Bradley fight from the outside on the move behind a jab, he can fight on the inside, and he knows how to close distance against taller fighters.

    He doesn't lose focus and he is in tip top shape. The Bradley-Khan fight would be close early but as the fight goes on Bradley will pull away because he will be able to maintain his rhythm and Khan will not.

    Bradley can't stop Khan, he isn't a puncher but he will beat him. He is a very sharp pressure fighter, who can at any time box from the outside when he wants to.

    Almost everyone on this board will change their mind about the Bradley-Khan fight if we get the chance to see Bradley-Maidana fight first. And that is what I recommend Bradley do. Because against a come forward puncher is where Bradley's all around skills will really shine.

    You would get to see him go from counter puncher to aggressor all in the same round and back forth throughout the fight. Sometimes fighting in close and sometimes fighting off the back foot. Bradley really should take the Maidana fight first, because if he wins impressively the way I think he will, it will give him all the LEVERAGE at the negotiating tables with Khan.

    Don't believe me? Save this thread.

    I'll be sure to check back in this thread and be sure to back up my personal disagreement.

    Khan's offense is miles ahead of Alexander's. Devon is a boxer-puncher who is simply not trained to be a decent out-fighter. Khan plays his style perfectly. While his defensive upper-body movement is lacking, his reliance on his legs will not be his downfall. He is much more adept at being a ring general, controlling the distance, and going in and out.

    If they traded blow for blow, Khan would win on speed and pop. If they tried to match wits hitting and not getting and hit, Khan would still win on straight punching, a high guard, and once again, speed. Either way, Khan has the advantages.

    It will be close because Bradley can get inside fairly well and hit to the body with combinations down and upstairs, but in doing so leaves himself open. He just won't be able to employ his style without getting tagged and biting off more than he can chew.

    Khan by decision or late stoppage.

    Save the thread.....because you guys pick fights like Atlas......you get one lucky win every blue moon. And this fight was Teddy's "blue moon" pick as he chose Bradley. Not even his curse could derail Tim.

    Tim should also stay away from Pac.....he is not in his league as of now. He is still becoming a confident and seasoned professional. Tim should deal with 140lb and let that other **** take care of itself in 2 to 3 years from now.

    Khan's offense is better than Devons but Devons offense usually looks better why? Because he has a STATIONARY target in front of him. Also Khan cannot OUTMANEUVER Bradley from the outside. He has poor footwork especially when he is pressured and he CANNOT fight on the inside.

    When Bradley wants to he can use his superior footwork and agile feet to take rests on the outside and if Khan does try to come forward (which he doesn't do well) Bradley will simply jump in on him.

    Khan NEEDS his opponent to be a STATIONARY target in front of him to get his combos off. He won't be hitting Bradley MARK MY WORDS! Bradley has shown the ability to get his shots in on fighters who fight extremely negatively. And Bradley can do this while being DEFENSIVELY SOUND.

    I'll agree that Khan lacks an inside game like Devon, but Bradley himself is no Duran. His shots aren't that meaningful or consistent, and while he has good footwork, it's simply not enough to trouble Khan in my opinion. Khan has his foot oreinted flaws, but it's enough for him to be mobile and get shots of on the move.

    Bradley's offense depends on his opponents making mistakes. He's aggressive, but he rarely gets anything off when coming forward, unless his opponent makes a dumb mistake under pressure. While Khan may momentarily shell up, he does not throw wild ala Abregu or Bradley. Bradley, while not stylistically a counter-puncher, does best when counter-punching, and Khan will not give him the opportunity due to his high guard and Tim's less than totally accurate output.

    Also, Khan does not need a stationary target to hit in my opinion. He just has to be faster. Bradley is NOT going to make it easy- but that doesn't mean he'll be fast enough or sound enough to counter Khan. Bradley is mobile but by no means a defensive wizard, and his reach disadvantage will find him working a lot harder and opening himself a lot more to get some offense going against the speedy and consistent Khan.

    The way I see it, Bradley looked decent but not totally dominant against a boxer-puncher physically fit for outfighting who simply lacked fundamentals and the training which suited his style. Khan, in the same place, would outdo Bradley.

    He won't outbox or hurt him. I just don't think he can win relying on an unpolished inside game.

    There's no grammatical problem with the title. The TO thinks it's a foregone conclusion.

    Well we will have to wait and see to find out which of us is correct. I believe Bradley's superior defense and footwork will lead him to victory. And it appears you believe Khans physical tools i.e. height, reach, hand speed and superior power will be too much for the shorter less powerful Bradley to overcome.

    Well lets hope they sign the fight (well after a Maidana-Bradley fight.....as I want you to see how Bradley handles Maidana).

    Believe OP is a visitor from the future and therefore is using exactly the correct tense to inform past dwellers of something that has already happened in his own present time.

    I like Bradley but against Khan I can see him being dominated on the scorecards.
