I favor Khan, he just has the better boxing skills. Amir is faster, has the much better jab, and probably has more power. Bradley is tougher, slips punches better, and has better stamina. However, Amir has WAY more talent than Bradley and shouldn't lose to him to be honest. JMO.
Khan stops him. He's quicker, bigger, stronger, and has a great jab and combos. Khan's body punching is good too.
Khan beats him and becomes no.7 or 8 P4P.
I think if Khan doesn't put some hurt on Timmy early.... it's Bradleys fight. If he can make it a scrap(which he pretty much always does), he'll win. If he doesn't finish Khan off he'll outpoint him. I don't see Khan having the luxury of running away and protecting a lead in the later rounds.
I really just don't see the great fighter others do in Khan. Khan's defence is running. And it's not because he doesn't have heart, he's got plenty of heart with the way he tried to hold on vs Maidana and he even tried to get back up and fight vs Prescott. He just doesn't have good defense because Roach can't teach it. He tries to use ring movement and activity like Pacquiao, but his footwork isn't close too Pac's, and his stamina isn't as good either.
I just don't think he's good enough to beat Bradley going foward. He has a better chance if he lets Bradley come foward, but as the bigger man, he's may to feel obligated to come foward, and if he does, he's going to be scored on and turned all night. Khan can win, but I certainly don't favor him.
i think tim will get inside at times, but he's not bernard hopkins, he will have success on the inside, khan will have more success on the outside.
You could be right. I just think you guys are seeing Khan's awesome physical ability and missing the gaping holes in his actual boxing game. I dont think Tim will make the same mistake.
Unfortunately, Bradley does not bring that kind of power Maidana has.
No, he doesnt. But he has better offensive skills, defense, foot work, head movement, stamina, in ring IQ, experience against world class competition.... see where Im going with this?
Timmy. Timmy just has that special ability to figure people out. Khan doesnt really fight well on the inside and there is no way he keeps Timmy on the outside all night.
Also, Khan kind of fell apart in the Maidana fight. Yeah, he survived, but he was hurt badly and gassed and almost unraveled there. Bradley wont let him off the hook when the fight gets tough.
Timmy by UD in an exciting fight.

I favor Khan. He's just too fast and too good for Bradley. I don't think Bradley has the power to make Khan think twice about throwing punches. If he was able to stand up to Maidana, he should be able to take Bradley's shots.

I favor Timothy Bradley. However, I do agree that Amir Khan is the more talented fighter.
