    I always would have thought Bradley.

    Honest

    His swarming style and speed would pose the biggest challenge.

    Same here out of those options, but I didn't vote because I didn't know how else to view public polls at the time:patsch. As of right now, I still think Alexander is his biggest threat as Bradley is slow, short, reckless and wide-open.

    It's just interesting to note that for all the criticism Khan gets and the Salita defence aside, he's actually been fighting some of the best in the division anyway. I reckon after he beats Maidana he'll fight Ortiz then the winner of Bradley-Alexander I & II, assuming of course that they don't win a fight apiece and have a trilogy.

    I think his biggest test is against Bradley.

    All the others have flaws - Alexander was countered silly by Kotelnik at times and got a questionable decision..... Maidana is seriously reckless, bad defence and a weak chin.

    I'd make Khan a strong favourite over Ortiz too. Shutting out an old Nate Campbell doesn't convince me he's got it. He might put Khan down once or twice but I think Khan is equally skilled and faster, plus he can stick to a plan much better now.

    The first time Ortiz came up against a guy that wouldn't fall over he basically surrendered, despite being clearly ahead. Khan obviously doesn't have that sort of power, but is much faster and more accurate.

    Usually when old threads are bumped, I have said something in them that was ridiculous and I just cringe :yep

    I'd definitely say Bradley, but I also believe Alexander still poses a dangerous threat to Khan, regardless of their respective efforts against Kotelnik.

    If his chin is as bad as some on here reckon then anyone with decent skill, speed, timing and a KO ratio over 20% would do the job....Maidana fails badly against the first three criteria :thumbsup

    Bradley without a doubt

    He is considered the best in the division and has the tools to cause Khan the most problems.

    In comparison Urango and Maidana would be easier fights stylistically for Khan. The speed and the foot movement should be to much. Bradley would be able to compete in both departments.
