These guys are both the top in the division and they SHOULD have already fought each other this weekend past instead Bradley didnt fight and we got Khan v Judah instead.
Khan is 24 and Bradley being 3/4 years older at 28, Both have unified the division, Bradley has done so twice, Bradley remains undefeated and Khan has the loss to Prescott on his record. Khan has fought at lightweight, light welterweight and plans to move the welterweight and might end his career as a light middle weight or middleweight, Bradley has already fought at welterweight against Abregu.
In fairness Khan has already earned enough money that he could retire today and never have to fight or be wanting of money, This then begs the question as to why someone who is young and already a multi-millionaire Khan has earned almost $25 million already Bradley has not earned a fraction of that but it might infact work in his favour as the hungrier guy.
Who do you think will go further in the boxing world between these two? Leaving the current "ducking" issue aside down the long term who will do better?
Personally I think Khan will go further because his build is more suited to going up and down weight divisions, He has Freddie Roach and Ariza, Oscar De La Hoya and RIchard Schaefer are trying really hard to promote him in the US and he trains along side Pacquaio and has a fanbase internationally not just in the UK, but also the middle east, Pakistan and to a lesser extent the Philiphines. But boxing is not a popularity contest!
Even if Bradley beats Khan, I still think Khan will be more successful because he's such an attraction. He hangs out with stars like Jay Sean, goes on popular TV shows in both America and UK and has a huge following in both areas. The ladies also love him.
Bradley on the other hand is in really in a bad position. He doesn't have as big of a fan base as he should, his head is really oddly shaped and he doesn't have enough power to knock guys out, so when they quit, his fights tend to be boring. However the few who actually fought back made interesting fights. It must really suck. I can see him ending up like Paul Williams. Beating the most dangerous fighters with no fan base, but then when he finally loses he gets s**ted on.
What popular US show has Khan been on?

Khan, mainly due to him having the frame to move through the divisions
Amir also has those AM medals, which Tim doesn't have
If both of they're careers ended tomorrow they can both be very proud, both unified champions, which is no small feat
