it does prove that many were premature hailing khan as the top light welter.

that said, bradley-khan would have been a pain in ther arse, a possible liability, with bradley's overuse of the noggin and khan's rush tactics which also cause head clashes (barrera)

lot of ways that fight could have gone wrong, let us down, etc.

140 a division of good, not great fighters.

khan doesn't like the big, strong guys - peterson, and also maidana, whom i had drawing with khan.

amir can come back & win more titles - the promoters will always make things happen for him. but as for superfights, ala mayweather - don't kid yourselves. rebound, try to unify and then...still a big if.

Khan was poor on Saturday. He didn't use the ring well enough and found himself trapped by Peterson far too easily. His punches weren't accurate enough (although I appreciate Peterson's defence looked good) and he didn't have enough snap on them most of the time to deter Peterson. Sure he has some of the fastest hands in boxing but his footwork still needs improving and he doesn't lead off the jab enough. Would prefer him to be more compact, more economical with his wild hooks and less flashy. Just looks a bit all over the place and bambi like at times.

On that performance, Khan's best bet against Bradley is that he is thrown out for use of the head.

I think it was just tactical naievity .... he believed the hype to much. Ih he'd have been negative ala the Kotelnik fight he'd have prob walked it.

I did,but not now, i could see bradley coming in with his head down and roughing Khan up and cutting him on the way to a stoppage win

If they had fought on Saturday night Bradley would have cleaned his clock, but let’s be honest about it Khan couldn’t have fought any worse then he did against Peterson, I suspect he will come back a more disciplined fighter (his performance on Saturday stank of immaturity), a disciplined Khan is too much for Bradley.

Bradley at Khan's ankles all night, head boring in firing continually, that sounds like hell to Saturday night's Khan

GOOD THREAD. I ALMOST DIDNT SPOT IT BUT THANKS TO THE CAPITALS I NOTICED IT SO WELL DONE.

I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT BRADLEY WOULD HAVE BEATEN KHAN

khan is like virgil hill somewhat, hill being roach's first major fighter. he boxes well, is successful and athletic, but he runs miles each fight and punches more like an amateur, rather than pro, boxer.

interesting that hill - a light heavyweight, a much bigger man - seemed to have more energy.
