Neither Bradley or Algieri have that Ko power, difference is Algieri is a more cooperative target and wont really outwork you. In the choice between sitting duck and angry goose, Khan chose the one that stylistically made him look better and has been knocked down like 8 times in his last 2 fights.
The strange thing is that although I'm not a fan of Khan and I like Bradley, out of all the top guys Khan could fight, I think it's possible he could beat Bradley. Bradley is great , but for some reason the yanks don't like him, so he fights like an idiot to try to show them how tough and exciting he is. Consequently he takes more punishment than he should. Also although Bradley gets through with some big haymakers, he clearly hasn't got loads of power.
So if Khan could keep his discipline and box and move for 12 rounds, and Bradley loses his discipline and strays from the gameplan, Khan could do him on points.
Bradley is a bigger name on his CV than Alexander,Broner or Algieri and is beatable for him, and let's be fair, if he can't beat him, he shouldn't be linking himself with Floyd and Manny.
Frankie Gavin could get the shot! ;D
I don't get it though. If I understand correctly , the IBF offered an eliminator to Bradley and Khan, Bradley accepted, Khan never. But now, it's almost like Gavin's getting lined up for a shot. What about Bradley and an eliminator?Quote:

Khan wants either easy fights or the biggest names he doesn't deserve for the biggest paydays. A solid payday for a solid oppoent's not for him anymore.

yes it is Urdu my friend.Quote:

What happened to the fearless and exciting Khan when he was with Roach?Quote:
