I actually think it's a very hard fight. If Khan's chin was solid I'd think it was probably an 80-20 fight in his favour but Bradley's toughness versus Khan's vulnurabilities shortens the odds considerably. Thing is, I can't actually see Bradley stopping Khan. Only 11 ko's in his career I just don't think he has the power. He's more like Juan Diaz when he was at his best, overpowering guys with sheer pressure rather than punch power.

I think Khan sweeps the early rounds and holds on down the stretch to win a fairly comfortabe decision but with acouple scary moments.

Kahn isn't forcing critics to eat their words. He is improving dramatically and therefore changing the equation. A year ago a far lesser Kahn would likely have been eaten up by Bradley in my view. He would also have been eaten up by the Kahn who fought this weekend. He's a LOT better than the guy who beat Malignaggi.

I think it's called 'The Roach factor' and that is only going to become more apparent.

Kahn would win wide.Sheer lack of physicality.

Maybe Bradley could be crafty in defence and make Khan look bad and exploit Khans sometimes over eagerness, over reaching and lack of subtlety to punish him. But even so, I doubt that Bradley could maintain anything as consistent as what Khan could.

Judah was sh1t, but maybe that's to Khan's credit, maybe Judah just couldn't figure out a way to win. I don't think any version of Judah would beat Khan right now.

Agreed - still a work in progress for me, but he is winning me round a little more every time I see him.

Re: Khan v Bradley - who would win?

Judah hasn't looked all that great in a good while now and has lost most of his big fights and now suddenly Khan gets to stop an even older version of Judah who seemed to fake a low blow to get out? Bradley is young, fast, mentally strong and undefeated, this Judah win tells us nothing of how that will play out and yet suddenly everyone is on the Khan gravy train.

I totally disagree. Bradley has all the smarts to cause Khan fits.

Yup. But we gotta give the kid credit too. He is showing an impressive willingness and ability to learn.
