potato potato - you dont hear PBF saying im not fighting Pac because i could loose. When have you ever heard a champion mention not fighting someone because they could loose? With the exception of chris eubank after he retired.

Semantics make a difference in this case. If Bradley doesn't think that he can win then he is internally acknowledging Khan's superiority, which makes it more plausible that he is afraid of Khan. If Bradley thinks that he can beat Khan, but also recognizes that there is a realistic possibility that Khan beats him, then it's more likely the case that Bradley is not afraid but playing probabilities so as to maximize his earnings; he may well like his chances of beating Khan, but he doesn't want to blow an opportunity that is more lucrative.

Bradley has fought lots of top opponents and is now chasing a fight with an all-time great, so I would be surprised if he fears Khan.

Barry Mcguigan says that a lot of people could beat Khan............................I don't agree !!

Khan will always be susceptibel to big punchers like Maidana et al and in that fight it was more luck than judgement that he made it throught that 10th round, but the tactics that he adopted in that fight were not his usual, which we all know is a kind of elegant and effectively constructed hit and run routine. Since the prescott fight Khan has only been troubled by Maidana and whilst he hasn't faced anyone of Bradley's talent, i believe that Khan will beat most fighter because of his sheer speed of punch. Khan normally has that high gurard, he jabs well, moves in and out, throws good combinations, head to body, is accurate and carries some power aswell. That is a very tricky set of attributes to fight against and whilst some may obviously disagree, i ddon't see anyone vbeating him apart from Pacquaio or Mayweather. Morales wouldn't beat him, Bradley would be a good fight, but he would be too slick for Bradley, a re-match with Maidane would be interesting and then you are talking about moving up to 147lbs. I think he has too much speed and style for Ortiz and Berto likewise. I think on Pacquaio's showing the other week, Khan has a decent chance of an upset and it would be a close fight, so that leaves Mayweather who i think has all what Khan has and more, so would beat Khan, but he only has maybe 18 months left at his current Skill level. Marquez is 38 and in decline despite what happenned against Pacqauio and i think he to wouldn't get anywhere near Khan to be of any real threat.

Khan is in a good place right now and i don't see anyone stopping him and anticipate a Mayweather fight in London towards the end of 2012. Am i crazy ? I don't think so !! Who feels the same ?

Khan looks like he could move up easily and probably hence why he wants Mayweather soon. Bradley looks like he should drop down to lightweight.

Maybe I'm just not seeing it.

Looked to me as though Khan made eye contact briefly before breaking away, then someone said 'go on amir', something along those lines, to which he sheepishly muttered 'grow some balls', he wasn't even looking at him when he said it.

Looked like a throwaway moment, Bradley didn't look scared, he just looked like he had somewhere to be.
