khan v bradley

You know what I'm starting to like Khan, but that's because there is many boxers I dislike in the JWW division, mainly Bradley and Alexander. I just hope Khan leanrs how to be tough and his chin improves. Khan is a nice dude, easy to root for, I hope he becomes the #1 JWW one day. But right now Pacquiao is the #1 guy and I now Khan doesn't stand a chance against the Pac-Man, but how would he fare against Bradley..........

Bradley is a class act and I think he is better than Hatton but he would take Khan apart and win on points.

Bradley has got very under-rated skills and a great boxing brain.

Bradleys natural style is perfect to beat Khans fast flurries.

Bradley is several steps above Khan. Can you picture Gomez or Limond dropping him?

Bradley is too strong and seasoned for Amir. A knockout within the first half.

i went for Bradley on points but Bradley in the first half is completely conceivable, whereas I think Bradley would be to clever/ dangerous for Khan to put away with those flurries which have accounted for so many, without actually even putting them over.

I like Khan, fck what some people say on here. I posted a detailed response to a DG post a few days ago on the (British) Light Welters but it bloody disappeared but basically I think Witter would have done Hatton....he certainly would be likely to now I think (although with Junior it's completely possible he'd box a negative boring fight, or just not turn up at all)........I think Khan Witter would be a great fight and I couldn't pick a winner.....(although that was last wee, after this weekend maybe the chinks are starting to show in Witter)....and I think that Ricky Hatton should just, and probably will, retire...Khan would have him for breakfast at this stage. Khan is going to continue getting better with each fight, not to mention more powerful.....pretty soon he's going to be a nightmare.....I think he could surpass even Ricky's career in time, and that would be some achievement.
I just hope it's in Manchester and not London and Walsh free!

If Bradley hit Khan with the same shot that he dropped Witter with, it's goodnight.

I think khan needs a bit more experience before going in with somebody of Bradley's caliber.

Depends how much Bradley goes in with the headbutts. He's pretty go forward like Kotelnik but with more workrate.

his headwork being a very good reason Khan may be steered away from him iMO

If Khan boxed like he did against Kotelnik and Bradley as he did against Witter, I'd go for Khan on points.

Bradley seems to be good but very orthodox, if you get my drift. Witter was terrible against Bradley and it was still pretty close on the cards.

Then again, perhaps I just haven't seen enough of Bradley. I remember seeing Zinedine Zidane play a couple of times and thinking 'What's all the fuss about?' :lol:

I've gone for Khan on points, think he would be too quick for Bradley, though Bradley by TKO would be worth a few quid down the bookies if it ever happened.

i'd favour bradley on his strength.

just has a bit more substance than khan.

wouldn't totally rule khan out though.

he has got good skills. :box:

bradley is obviously so much better than kotelnik but i still think a vastly improving kahn would win a points decision.Bradley just does not have the style to cope too good with kahns speed.
i personally still reckon kahns gonna drop back to lightweight if a htton fight cant be made

Bradley would pressure him and when Khan has a lapse in concentration by putting his hands down Bradley will catch him with that right hand and then it would be good night Amir imo

actually i'm not sure of that. in what way is he so much better? are any of his wins etter than kotelnik's win over maidana?

they're both pressure fighters without a punch. kotelnik more technical, bradley more aggressive. the only way i can see bradley being better is that he's a bit more willing to gamble, to rip into the opponent.

i agree though, khan's mobility will be difficult for bradley. bradley isn't particularly strong and isn't particularly fast. some of his opponents looked as if they didn't want to be there in the first place and this is making ppl think that he's some monster pressure fighter.

Put Gomez or Limmond in with Khan now and they wouldnt stand a chance of landing a punch if anything, the khan that got dropped of limmond and gomez would have got beat from kotelnck. Khans a different fighter now very hard to beat,
