Now that Khan's climbing to LWW...

Bradley would destroy khan. Bradley took a HUGE left hook from Colt and got up like it was nothing.

 

I still think that Khan could have kept at 135, I think Kotelnik will take him all the way and suprise him

 

Hatton would have Khan dancing within 2 rounds. Hatton's a monster at 140 and if Khan gets sparked by a lightweight who couldn't knock a super-feather out in his last fight God knows what Hatton would do to him. He had Malignaggi wobbling all over the shop within 2 if I remember correctly and we all know how much punishment Paulie can take (Cotto).
I haven't seen much of Bradley, only the Witter fight. If Bradley can take Witter apart as easily as he did you really reckon Khan stands more of a chance? I doubt it.
I can see Khan winning against Kotelnik, then defending against anyone who has a decent name but nothing much else. I would like to see him against Malignaggi though. How funny if Paulie could KO him because I'm certain Khan wouldn't stop him :yep

 

and khan has?

Bradley came over here and beat Witter, what has Khan done so far that makes you think he would beat Bradley, never mind with the ease that you imply?

 

Khan should fight Paulie for for his 1st defence in a 12 round boxing lesson for Paulie of very fast in out counter punching. Roach in 18 months should hopefully near perfect Khan's new style of counter punching, and good smart foot work make that defence tight

Khan will never fight Hatton because Khan needs 2 or 3 years to reach that level, Hatton will be retired by then. Right now Hatton would just walk though Khan.

 

the thing is, a motivated paulie who has no worries about his right hand is a whole different prospect to the paulie who faced hatton

 

Paulie should of been motivated for the fight of his life vs Hatton, anyway i still feel Khan would beat him.

 

i feel it could go either way

 

It will be a good match up, thats what we want,

 

I can't understand how people can rate Bradley so poorly. IMO he's a fighter who doesn't do anything outstanding but he does everything well. He's a nice tight little unit of a boxer. Accurate puncher, reasonable power, good movement, good chin. I think over time he'll prove a much tougher prospect than many now give him credit for. IMO he'd win a wide UD over Khan.

Mallignagi would be a perfect first defence. Fits the profile of Khan's opponents perfectly - shown to be short of real world class and feather fisted.

Demetrius Hopkins would also fit the bill.

 

Interesting to see how people are putting down Bradley in this thread.

It wasnt so long ago that a LOT of people on this forum were picking Witter to beat Hatton, just goes to show how fickle boxing fans are; your only as good as your last performance.

 

Khan would go into a fight with Paulie as probably a slight (very slight) underdog.

Taking into account his pathetic showing against Hatton, during which all he showed was balls.... I would fancy Khan to take him. Not take him apart and stop him, but win on points fairly clearly.

BTW - I bet Hatton to stop Paulie...... though I was expecting a blowout rather than a 11 round schooling.

 

I never implied with ease.

I don't expect Khan to beat Kotelnik and Bradley. I'm saying that given the level of champs, he can get 3 belts in two fights if he can keep getting better. At 135 facing Marquez and Diaz, who are high level P4P fighters, is an unbelievable feat. At present, facing Kotelnik and Bradley does pale in comparison.

I think Bradley could be a sneaky one. Looks good at everything and great at nothing but then so do Hopkins and Wright. Even their legendary defences came much later in their career. Bradley could develop something great. Bradley has that same training mentality of Bernard. Hard worker, good technique.

Khan getting past Kotelnik is a tall order. Kotelnik has arguably bested tricky fighters like Witter and M'Baye. Those guys are skilled, fast and powerful.

Khan is in a Wlad, Hearns etc sort of situation. He is clearly talented with his speed on an all time level. It's about fighting the right fight though. If he does it, he can shine. If he doesn't, he can lose.

I'd love to see him beat Kotelnik just to prove the doubters wrong. So much hatred, too much. I'd like to see him win a title so that if all goes wrong he can say that once upon a time he reached the stage every boxer dreams of - being a world champion.

To be honest, I think Bradley would jump at the chance to fight Khan if he wins the WBA. Bradley would look at it as a great opportunity for him to get another belt.

 

If Paulie can get a win then him as a first defence would be great. He hasn't got power and that would give Khan some freedom to work. It would be a great win. Khan's got height, reach and speed on Paulie.

 

Bradley didn't take Witter apart, easily or otherwise. If Junior had showed any sort of interest in the fight he would have beaten Bradley at a canter.
