tuff 1....we all know about Khan's chin, but his defense is damn tight, he can throw a sharp 1-2 then bring his hands back to guard his chin in a split second, plus with his speed, footwork, height and reach, if he sticks to the gameplan he'll be very hard for any 140lb'er to beat but with that said, Bradley's a good counterpuncher, he's very good at slipping a jab then throwing an overhand right, and though he ain't a big hitter i think he has enough of a right hand to seriously hurt Khan if not put him away, also Bradley's defense is very good as well, when he gets to rolling it's pretty tough to land on him clean, not to mention his speed and punch out put will be hard for anyone to deal with unless they've got enough power to slow him down so all in all......i have no clue, too many variables here, both fighters seem to be getting better with every fight, and i could see 2 things happening.. 1. Khan using his speed, and reach to outpoint Bradley ..and 2. Bradley connecting with that right hand sooner or later and putting Khan on his knees....tough fight to call, so i wont do it it would make for a very interesting fight though, so i'd love to see it
~ I can see this - the more he learns of Freddie Roach the better he will progress. ~ But there will be a clamour to step up his level of opponents. ~ For his career, I think they should go for a bigger name like Malignaggi or even Zab Judah. ~ But the connoiseur' of boxing won't be happy until he faces Bradley, Alexander , Maidana (and Urango or Ortiz to a lesser extent).
khan he is just too quick for bradley, i think he will just keep it simply, out box him, in and out very quick with the master roach behind him i hope khan goes for bradley next
just because khan koed that clown salita and out-pointed koletnik doesnt mean he,ll beat bradley,even though tim has no power he still would stop khan,remember super featherweights like gomez and limond dropped khan
Bradley stops him ealry. Khan hasn't got the power to stop any elite or even b level opponents. When was the last time he knocked someone out? Bradley can easily outwork him or break him to pieces. No way Khan can win this.
Who has Khan fought? A Barrerra that should have retired? A Prescott....well let's not go there. Bradley beats the **** outta him at this point.
Khan is too fast, too powerfull and too skillfull for Bradley who will get caught long before he gets a chance to breech Khans defences and test his chin. Inside fighting won't even figure in this fight as Khan is too quick and his footwork too good for Bradley to force the issue on the inside. Khan will win this fight, if it happens, inside 6 rounds!
I slightly favor Bradley, but it's pretty much a 50/50 fight for me. A lot of the UK posters are discounting Bradley's versatility though. How he fought against Witter and Holt isn't necessarily how he'll fight against Khan.
I think Bradley wins a convincing UD or mid-late KO. Despite Khan's D, Bradley will land on Khan and hurt him. I think Bradley is just made of tougher stuff and his adaptability will serve him well if this fight happens. He's battle tested against high level opposition and seemingly always manages to come out on top. Same cannot be said for Khan on either count, but he does possess excellent skills and should only get better under Roach.
I cant believe you people think Khan is soooo much faster than Bradley. Bradley is almost as quick, or as quick of hand and foot! And thinking Roach is gonna save him with some master game plan is wishful thinking. In case you havent seen Bradley fight HE is the one getting better and better each time he fights and HE is fighting the best the division has to offer...or at least the ones that have the guts to get in the ring with him. I dont think we can include Khan i that discussion.
I give Bradley a slight edge based on Bradley/Peterson fight. However, I would not bet on this fight, not one cent.
yeah ****, a fight between a British muslim and a black guy Your head must be spinning wondering who to despise more. Does Khan being Muslim and British swing it for you ?
