Who rates higher now: Bradley or Khan?

[Freedom2013]

I see ESPN and many others have Bradley ahead of Khan on their P4P and welterweight lists.

It appeared last night that Khan is now clearly better than Bradley.

What do you think?

[BAD INTENTIONS]

Clearly ...

[ponch]

Great statement from Khan this weekend.

Bradley's resume is better by miles but momentum / form may favour Khan right now. (However I haven't seen the Bradley fight and it sounds like he won it fairly clearly.) EDIT: not saying Khan wins head to head, but a while back I wouldn't have given him any shot at all. I think it's an interesting matchup

Khan's pretty up and down though, really hard to know what to expect from his future in the sport. Great in his last two fights. The two fights before that I though he looked quite poor. Two fights before that he got back to back losses far worse than Bradley's loss(es) to Pac.

Bradley got robbed. Khan would be stopped by Pacquiao and also likely by Chaves' head butts like ones he did to Bradley. ESPN ratings in general are stupid.

I think that even though Peyton Manning says that Pappa Johns shitty pizza is better than Dominos shitty pizza, that, they are both shitty pizza's...

First time I've agreed with you on anything.

Does'nt matter who's in front of who with the skills and ability to win ,, Khan just by being the dumb facker he is , has managed to get people interested in him and thats what sells tickets and buys PPV , so in them terms Khan is ahead .

What do drawing abilities have to do with p4p standings ? I still have Bradley above both by resumes and who beats who.

You're new here ... this has been going on for about 6 years after every Khan fight. Even after the losses he is still spoken of as better than everyone. After year two, i began to genuinely dislike Khan because of his fan's delusional statements ... then I started hearing/reading Khan's statements, and quickly realized he's just as delusional as his fans.

Khan did his thing last night, and I don't want to take any credit away from his win. But, Khan beat a solid Devon Alexander ... who lost to Bradley, Porter, and maybe Kotelynik and Mattysse.

He didn't beat Floyd, Manny, JMM, Thurman, Brook, Bradley, Porter, Maidana, Guerrero(?), Chavez (?), Garcia, Mattysse, Peterson, Broner, Provodnikov(?) ...

That's a long list of guys who are at 140/147 who might be/are better than Devon ... but after each win, Amir magically jumps to the front of the line.

Ooops ,, Sorry i thought you meant in drawing power , who rates higher ,, Who in p4p .. Don't know really , Khan has proved he can be bowled , but he also proved he can come back , , I think at the higher weight Khan is going to be a lot more succesful its a flip of the coin for me . another good fight on the horizen . But you would have to say Bradley is the better boxer .

Khan though is p4p the most confident , with without having anything to base it on .. I shake my head everytime he opens his mouth , because he actually believes he's the best .

[Rodian]

why dont they fight and see whos better in the ring

[Jpreisser]

How Khan is picked by most so far seems to make little sense. Bradley should have been given that fight and his resume is clearly superior to Khan's.

[Rodian]

Bradley would be able to handle Khan easily I think, i dont care who "rates" higher. its obvious with anyone with a brain that winning 5 rounds against Pacquiao is better than anything Khan has accomplished in an actual win. Also beating an old Marquez is better than beating Alexander at any age or a scrub like Judah or Malignantni

[ClivePatrickLyons]

I believe Khan would win a clear dec.

[Lackeos]

I have Bradley as the #4 WW after Pacquiao, Mayweather, and Marquez. Not sure if Khan is even #5, or if Brook is, or maybe even someone else. Bradley beat Marquez, and has not lost to anyone less than Pacquiao. Khan's best wins are Alexander, Maidana, and Kotelnik, while he has lost recently to Garcia and a roided Peterson. In other words, Bradley has better wins and Khan has worse recent losses. So I think you pretty much 100% have to put Bradley above Khan right now.

[pinetreeltd]

Bradley. He fought Pacquiao twice.

[victor-romeo]

Bradley way better fighter, that 17 people here say otherwise makes me worry about peoples judgement DD . Khan can not take a punch , and Bradley would find Khans chin repeatedly.

[thunderfromdownunder]

Bradley is still quite a ways better than Kahn, jeebus Kahn beat an decent, but not great fighter in Alexander, (who Bradley beat when he was undefeated) ands it turns pit isn't very good without his hometown judges. Devons best win was against maidana on arguably the worst night of Marcos' career.
Christ not too long ago Bradley beat MARQUEZ!

Sometimes you have to look at the manner of the victory, as well as who the opponent is. Alexander has notoriously been a tricky customer, but Khan dominated the whole fight. I agree that he shouldn't now jump to the front of the line, as it is a division blessed with a lot of talent, but the line that we are talking about isn't for a World title shot, it is for a shot at Mayweather. I know he has World titles, but the prize is his 0...not his gold. At that point, lets look at your list again:

Manny - Front of the queue for a fight with Floyd.
JMM - Landslide loss to him in 2009.
Thurman - Not big enough a name yet, hasn't beaten a World class opponent.
Brook - Is a World champ, but doesn't have the biggest reputation.
Bradley - Lost to Pac Man (twice really).
Maidana - Beaten twice by Money.
Guerrero - Beaten in 2013.
Chavez - Lost to Thurman, shouldn't have got a split against Bradley.
Garcia - Content at Light Welter.
Matthysee - Beaten by Garcia and Alexander.
Peterson - Mauled by Matthysee, who has lost to Alexander and Garcia.
Broner - Baby brother.
Provodnikov - Beaten by Algieri, who in turn was destroyed by Pac Man.

From this list, I would then say that Pac Man and Garcia are the two that stand out. However, I think Garcia would be grossly outclassed by Mayweather, and would look utterly one dimensional. This, finally, leaves Pacquiao. There are a lot of power guys in this list, but if you aren't quick enough to detonate it, then it doesn't matter if you hit as hard as a mule or a mouse. Khan represents a viable alternative because his main skill, speed, is a factor that many of the others cannot bring to the table. With Mayweather now being 37, there is a chance that this speed may make him look old.

khan. bradley is rather a boxer than a puncher and
i very much doubt he can outbox the hand speed of
amir.

actually think this would be a remarkably easy fight
for khan.

If Bradley fights Khan the way he fought Pacquiao in the rematch, he'll lose rounds but have a good chance of hurting Khan if he hits him with the same punch he caught Pacquiao with early in the fight. Stylewise, Amir should be better but Bradley is that much tougher than Khan.
