I'd like Khan to rematch Prescott in Britain before the end of the year.

I don't really think Khan needs a win to get back in contention, as he is one of the biggest names in the division, so I don't think his next opponent has to be hugely credible on the world level.

If Khan was more disciplined then I would favour him to beat Bradley, but if he fought like he did against Peterson and Garcia then I wouldn't give him much chance.

Hmm, you mean Bradley's a one-shot knockout artist with patience & timing, able to counter effectively between his flurries & possessed of a brutal left hook/uppercut?

Well done. Not sure meself if Khan beats Bradley, but really, well done.

meaning - tough, good stamina, mental strength, respectable hitter (garcia, peterson, similar KO stats).

if he's getting outsped at distance he won't be worried about closing the gaps down.

bradley a big favourite over khan. :OhYes:

If you ignore it, then it might just go away. Anyone who feels the need to stick an emoticon at the end of every single post they make is obviously a berk of the highest order.

Bradley's a very clever guy in the ring - he can adjust midfight and change tactics, as elite level fighters do. He can deal with punchers and boxers. He makes opponents pay for any mistakes.

So I would say yes, he is a very bad style for Khan, who has shown no ability to adjust and can only fight one way. If nothing is coming back all night, ala Kotelnik, he looks great. If anything is coming back, ala Maidana, Peterson and Garcia, different story.

Nowhere near elite? He and Marquez form a very small party-of-two, of men who haven't been brutally mangled by Manny Pac in the last seven years. Whilst he was clearly outpunched by Pacman, he underlined the impression beforehand that he was a boxer of some cunning.

Can you imagine what Khan would look like after four rounds with Pacman? Whatever it is, it would not be vertical.
