It's a good fight for Khan. Bradley will bring the aggression, so Khan will have to deal with pressure, probably over a long period. It will be a test of stamina, of toughness. If fights like these can be made with minimum of fuss, I'll be really impressed. If it's going to be a case of, talk up Bradley and eg fight bums, then this will be disappointing.

Let's get one thing straight. Bradley is not a puncher, and as pressure fighters go he isn't that strong. How many stoppages does he have at world level, again? He's like a poor man's Juan Diaz, in that he has been bullying fighters who looked like they didn't want to be there. This is not a 140 pound combination of Mike Tyson and Dwight Muhammad Qawi.

'A Poor Mans Diaz'? Well Bradley has more speed, strength, power, defense and technical ability than Diaz so I'm not sure how that makes him 'a poor mans'. He's managed to out-counter Witter, and impose his will on Campbell and Holt. Bradley isn't too great in any 1 area but neither was Marvin Hagler. And I think Bradley could be very good, he's already beat 3 very good champions

If Khan takes this he will be facing the fastest opponent hes faced, the strongest, the best technically and the biggest puncher hes faced. Khan's big advantage is his rangyness and his movement, which someone as short as Bradley may struggle with, he had problems with the similarly lanky Holt.

Its a quality fight if it comes off and if iPacquaio moves to WW maybe it should be for the Ring Belt

I can't see this happening for a long while but I would say that Khan would have his hands full. Bradley is really under-rated as said, very busy and smart, totally different from Kotelnik. I can see the case for both winning so it's 50/50 for me. But just because FW hints at it doesn't mean we are anywhere near it happening.

to be honest I don't think his strength or technical ability are as good as Juan Diaz's. They're similar in that they pressured some guys that never really were interested, they bullied, but do they like it when someone won't budge?

Diaz - did it to Freitas, did it to Julio Diaz, fell apart v Nate Campbell and Marquez.

Bradley - Witter really stopped competing midway, Holt did piss all despite scoring knockdowns, Campbell "tried to pull a fast one" accoridng to BoxRec. What's going to happen when someone goes in there desperate to win? How about the Peterson bro who competes at 140, I doubt he'd hesistate. Bradley's alright, he's just one of the many slight, humble champs in boxing that don't mean too much.

It's a good fight for Khan to perhaps go a rough 12 rounds, and it's world class both sides, but hardly an epic and I doubt worthy of a Ring mag title (provided Pac vacates) who only recognise a few champs in the whole of boxing.

this fight won't happen, too risky for Khan when he can get someone like Salita for a cheap defence...Bradley got too much heat for Khan, he's a clever boxer, more nouse than people give him credit for...don't get me wrong, i want khan to do well, but even against Kotelnik he worried me when Kotelnik stepped it up a few times, he does not look comfortable when his opponent fires back...i dont think that is something his trainer can change, i think it's in his make up..

I cannot believe this. I don't think there is any chance of this fight happening, but even if it does - ALREADY people are critical of Bradley now!!!

I predict even if this fight happend and Khan won, people would still be clammouring for Murray vs Khan!

Bradley is a very worthy champion and if Khan were to beat him then it would be a very good win indeed.

agreed, but i think khan will win.

Bradley is an excellent pressure fighter with good ring generalship and can make people fight his way I think Khan will win the early rounds and then Bradley will come on strong and KO him late
