    Yeah, I agree.

    And for the record, Bradley will trouble Pac. So Khan, if he wants to get back on track, needs a really big return win.

    I think he will trouble Pac as well, I don't think he will win but he will certainly give him some trouble.

    All depends on how well Khan beats Peterson, I think he can only ever be considered on a par with Bradley at best if gets the win convincingly (don't see it happening myself). They need to face-off, either that or if Bradley faced Peterson again but Peterson beat Timmy. Then Khan would be elevated to no. 1 but alot of fans/pundits would be calling for the final installment of the Khan/Peterson trilogy to decide the undisputed no. 1 at 140lbs.......

    Too many ifs, buts, what ifs & flying pigs for liking :D

    They need to fight each other Khan and Bradley, then we will know. There wasn't much difference but i give Bradley the edge as he won his fights easier (Lamont and Devon fights). Khan was in trouble against Maidana and Lamont beat him.

    Oh, and I guess the Alexander-Maidana fight will play a part, too. If Alexander handles Maidana, then Bradley will edge further away from Khan.

    Nothing more apart from what you've mentioned before.

    It's basically pre-camp. Conditioning work and pad work. JG will just give him some advice and tips from what he knows.

    Good ****. Even though there'll only be a limited (if anything) amount Khan will take away in two weeks, it's better than nothing, I suppose.

    After all the engagement bull**** and public appearances, he should have got in contact with Gallagher sooner. A flawed fighter like him needs to spend as much time as possible in gym working on his game.

    Yeah, but with Khan, he has the mind frame that a camp should only be 8 weeks otherwise he'll over-train. :lol:

    Instead, he's driving down to Bradford every day with his mates. Like now, on his Twitter, he says it's a quiet day when he could be down at the friggin' gym and work. He hasn't got the correct mind-frame and probably never will.

    Bradley was always number 1. He damaged that reputation by avoiding the Kon fight and and a result many started to believe that Kon could have beaten Bradley. In light of Peterson this has been shown to be a mistake.

    I bet Bradley regrets not taking the Kon fight after all. It's safe to say he would have beaten Kon handily

    Chill Rico, I wasn't talking about you at all, (no one thinks youre a nuthugger) its the likes of Laz/Lex and Darni/Go Getta and kingkhan2011 that I was referring to...and to be fair they are pure unadulterated nuthuggers!

    Some 'neutrals' may well have had khan in front of Bradley (when it looked like Bradley was ducking khan to fight Pacman) but post Petersongate, the numbers thinking that way, have dwindled dramatically.
