Whilst acknowledging Amir's talent at every turn, I have been scathing in my praise.

However, if he faces and defeats Bradley then "props" will have to be finally given - without reservation.

Dont see him beating Bradley myself. Good fight, and good for his rep just to take that fight, but I reckon he loses it.

fair play to khan if he takes on bradley next I'd lean towards a bradley points win

[MrBoxingUK2]

it will be an excellent fight. i would tip khan to win a close decision. khan will have to fight to his best ability if he is to win! bradley is a top fighter

[skelp]

Khan will finally meet a top operator, although I would prefer to see him fight Junior Witter; a good clash of styles. And big for British Boxing.

Aye, but Bradley being the man who beat Witter, and a belt-holder, by rights a two-belt champion, its still a great fight for Khan should it happen

[overhand_right]

Why would you prefer Khan to fight stinky used up losing run Witter? Don't you want the best fights.

This is a very young, dangerous, credible world class opponent - hence why I don't believe Amir will fight him.

Its a brave pick because Bradley looks more and more impressive. Having said that, Khan will argue that he has not as yet fought anyone with his incredible hand speed...and Bradley will reply that nor has he fought anyone with that glass chin!

[Finch]

Agree with the general consensus here.

Bradley may not have a worrying KO %age but he is a genuine world champion with a few decent names on his record.

I've always wanted Khan to rematch Prescott since his KO last year but said after last week i think he's surpassed doing that. If this comes off respect to both fighters. A very good match up.

[tonyevs]

I`d be very surprised if Warren allowed Khan near Timothy Bradley

Bradley is very under-rated. And his size would give Khan alot of problems .. nightmares even. And he more than hits hard enough to starch the fragile Khan.

Is fWank just putting Bradleys name out there in an attemp to take attention of the Maidana mandatory .. then claim Bradley is/was hiding from Khan .. then bring in Eric Morales

[Poncey]

Think Khan will school him at range.

Good fight though.

[Phenomenal-Nutrition]

This would be a truly great fight, Bradley is rightfully no1 in the division who won the WBC and unified the WBO, who now has Campbell, Petterson, Witter, Holt on his ledger all tricky opponents, Khan is the WBA champ. This should be for the Ring Title but I doubt it

Its a fascinating fight between 2 young guns in their prime, Khan is another tricky style for Bradley, we know Bradley isnt a banger and Khan is very hard to outbox.

[Autobarn]

makes sense. fitting in with rumours that khan doesn't want to fight puncher maidana. dump the WBA belt, line up a fight with a world champion. just about all the champs will come to the UK as they are no names. no one will really complain, because bradley is more proven than maidana. good fight, and a calculated gamble. if there were more salitas in the WBA ratings, then i don't believe moves would be made for khan-bradley.

[Phenomenal-Nutrition]

Rumours of a Mallignaggi fight now though

[glahn]

I think Khan has the style to beat Bradley, who is not a massive puncher. Khan would dominate Malignaggi for me.

[whiskey]

Malignaggi is crap, wheras Bradley is legit.

I expect it to be the feather-fisted 'Tragic Man'

[tonyevs]

Bradley is the only fight that could justify not facing Maidana next.

If it is Malignaggi .. :(

[Max Molyneux]

Depends on if Bradley can headbutt him.

[jamesmcdonnell]

bradley is a very tough man, if khan doesnt manage to dent him early and sting him, then i think bradley will stop him late, he's not going to just accept defeat like kotelnik, hell want to win at all costs.

[sendo]

Khan to knick a close UD, if he's fighting at home then the ref will have been picked to clamp down on any attempted rough stuff from Bradley. Bradley done very well but not convinced he's much of a boxer.

[Old bones Ian]

Bradley looks so strong , but has been dropped a couple of times by Holt.
One thing i've noticed about him, is he doesn't lose many rounds in a fight. So that shows he works for the entire 12 rounds.

[crusader]

Bradley may not be a puncher but he is not feather fisted by any means and his overhand right could knock Amir senseless. A guy with no power doesn't put Witter down for the first time in his career, floor Cherry and Peterson, and have Campbell and Holt covering up and afraid to throw punches.

Bradley does everything better than Kotelnik, so it's very surprising to see that some people are predicting Khan to win in a similar fashion as he did against the Ukrainian. Bradley has beaten the better competition and he has left no doubt in all his wins, not to mention he was battering Campbell. He is not limited by any means, as is Kotelnik.

Khan has never faced anyone who is as aggressive, well conditioned, fast, rough, or consistent, Bradley is working as hard in the first as he is in the twelfth. Likewise Bradley has never fought anyone as fast as Khan.

If Khan were to win then no one could doubt him anymore unless they were a true hater. If Bradley were to win then it would be another good name on his record and solidy his spot as the number one 140 pounder in the world.

[GazMan85]

I personally think Khan handles Bradley. Think he will outbox him and win a UD
