The Bradley - Alexander bout was a bit disappointing - not because of the result, but for a championship bout, at how poor the basic boxing skills seemed to be.
Bradley showed heart, but he seems to be lacking in a few area. He doesn't seem to generate leverage in his punches. And when he throws combinations, he looks like he is slapping his punches. Although he was able to get inside on Alexander, I think a better boxer can do a better job of keeping him out.
Khan, and Maidana are being mentioned as possible opponents, and he even called out Manny. So, let's compare Bradley with some of his potential competitors.
bradley is way over his head with khan he needs to keep his mouth shut because he needs to work on his punching mechanics (which i voted for) and tommy hearns was telling him to turn over his punches. even so i dont think he can hurt khan but i can see him making an adjustment that makes the fight close.
Pacman, Khan, Maidana all stop Bradley. Bradley is very good but Khan and Pacman are faster and stronger. Maidana's pressure, power, chin and heart would be too much for Timmy too.

I'm not sure about that,matter of fact,I think it's the opposite.People expected a war ,but Bradley basically took Alexander to school.He was never a power puncher but he showed really good boxing skill that night.
As far as Khan,Maidana go,Bradley has found a way to beat power punchers & good boxers alike.It's like brother Nazim said,when a fighter hasn't lost,they don't know how to.That's what I see when I see Bradley fight.His conditioning is on par with Pacman & Floyd.I think he beats Khan in a good fight,thoroughly outclasses Maidana & gives Pacman the fight of his life,(simply because Pacman has been praying on old,punch-worn fighters on the decline),Bradley is farrrrr from that.
