We now know he has the chin, but does he have the skill to beat bradley/alexander?

    So you must of made a lot of money over the years. I only ever put money on Klitchko to KO Chambers and Klitchko did it even though he left it late.

    Hmm Im not sure, the only other time he's fought a similar..ish fighter I think was Gomez, and while it was highly entertaining, not the greatest performance again. But job done. Khan finds it more difficult against busy pressure fighters.

    And I forgot to mention, in against the most heavy handed opponent to date, a fighter with a reputation as having a poor chin. How could that possibly the 'easiest' stylistic matchup?

    Khan has a great jab just ask Paulie, Khan beat him up with the jab on its own thats how good it is, i havent got the number but Khan landed more jabs then Paulie total punches landed.

    Why didnt Khan jab Maidana more because he kept moving forward and did not really let Khan plant his feet or give him time, plus Maidana ant a type of fighter to be put off by a jab he will keep coming.

    Bradley will have big problems with Khan's long iron jab.

    He's a good kid but as soon as he takes a few he seems to go off track. I have my doubts if it can be fixed.

    Maidana didn't, he was walking through them. Bradley's never ever look discouraged. And he can slip the jab, step around, fire over, jab with, and hook underneath. Khan doesn't have those moves open to him because, even now, his balance is poor. He falls over himself to punch.

    And Paulie? Paulie's always been a sucker for the jab. He's as straight up as they come, relies entirely on his feet. Cotto had the jab in his face all night, so did Hatton.

    :lol: mate Khan's jab is unbelievable. Bradley's gonna get out boxed because he's 5'6 :patsch...it's like preaching to a brick wall. He views Khan on next level to anyone else including Laz.

    As long as people realize that their prediction is an educated guess, thats fine. However when they sound like they are dealing in fact, I take heed.
    Apart from "if", I also usually add " think" to show that its only an opinion I am offering.

    Maybe, I'm not objective on Bradley. Its not as though I think Khan is unbeatable, its just that I am not sold on Tim. I've seen him plenty but just can't see anything that makes him elite level.

    He is certainly talented but I think Kotelnik would be the end of him. The dude has an iron jaw and will catch Ortiz all night long.

    Boy the way you guys talking about Bradley ducking this sliping that, i have watched his last 3 or 4 fights, not very impressed, and havent seen thing Khan will have sleepless nights over, he is a good solid fighter.

    Khan vs short fighters is game because he can use his reach to good effect, adding that Bradley is not a big puncher so Khan go in time to time and hit this at reach and get out.

    Bradley best wins are vs Witter(Good win) and Peterson(who got a gift vs Ortiz last night)

    In my view bring on Alexander or Bradley they going to get their butts beaten simple.

    Khan 5'10 Bradley 5'6 these facts you cant change, i feel Khan does great in using his reach vs smaller fighters, i see Khan beating Bradley No Problem, your view is your view think or say what you want.

    I don't get what your issues are with acknowledging that...a.) Khan does have a very good jab! and b.) He would need to utilise that very good jab if he wants to beat Bradley!
