If they fight who you got?
im on the fence at the minute
good performance against judah for khan but if he fought like he did against maidana or mclousky i reckon bradly could win
dunno
Yeh, I see it as very a tough one to call. I'm leaning towards Khan!Quote:

Aside from his determination, Bradley has nothing that will trouble Khan.
I've always seen Bradley landing one of his roughhouse brawling wingers. But that's his ONLY shot IMO.
Khan is leaving him behind at the moment.
I wrote last night during the fight that Kahn was "fighting with the arrogance of Tommy Hearns." That sort of confidence is a powerful tool and difficult to derail.
Having said that what does it take to create doubt, to erase that arrogance, to trouble a gifted fighter and good frontrunner?
Simply staying there and staying competitive. Bradley has to get, and stay, inside where Kahn is't nearly as good as he is on the outside (at least not yet).
Now can Bradley pull this off? I dunno. But he sure has a shot.
I don't think Bradley would give Khan any trouble at all to be honest. I see it being as one sided as last night.
Bradley doesnt have the power to keep Khan off him.
Easy win for Khan IMO.
I think Bradley wins.
He is more well rounded than Khan is and i think he has enough pop to earn Khan's respect, especially with his quick right hand.
Khan has done the same thing almost every fight i have seen him in since going with Roach.
He fights behind a high guard, uses alot of lateral movement and uses his fast hands to dart in and out and eventually outwork his opponents through 12 rounds.
Bradley is a underated counter puncher and i think he can catch Khan coming in successfully and he can switch it up if he wants and apply pressure on him.
It could certainly go either way though. Khans height, reach, activity and speed will certainly cause Bradley problems.
I just want the fight to happen badly.
Amen Brother! I HATE having to guess. One of the great things about boxing is usually we get to find out :)Quote:

Bradley will struggle with the reach. I see it being competitive but Bradley can't deal with height, length, and handspeed combined.
I agree with what everyone is saying about Bradley having to get inside on Khan to have a shot, and I think that's one of the main reasons Khan would handle him without too much difficulty.
Khan is much faster, has been footwork, better lateral movement, has faster hands, and just possesses a far better skillset in general. I think he'd murder Bradley on the way in. I do think there would be times where Bradley would pin himself to Khan's chest and cause him some difficulties, but I think those moments would be few and far between.
Wow currently 15-4 in favour of Khan. Just over a year ago and you would have all voted 15-4 the other way, nice that Amir is finally forcing his critics to eat their words.
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.Quote:

Power is only way to stop Khan and Bradley not got it. Easy UD win for Khan maybe just maybe even a shutout
The most dangerous fight for Khan is Maidana rematch which we would all love to see. That would be 50-50 for me
I think it's called 'The Roach factor' and that is only going to become more apparent.Quote:

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.
khans performance this weekend was very good
but has he improved that much since maidana and mclousky?
people are saying this the best judah has been for a while but is it really?
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.Quote:

i think maybe people are getting a bit carried away after saturday night
Agreed - still a work in progress for me, but he is winning me round a little more every time I see him.Quote:

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.Quote:
