I think this is the fight that should be made for later in the year.
And if it does get made who wins?
For all Bradley's muscle bound physique, he lacks power, he never hurt Pacquiao in the slightest and though Khan does not have the best chin I don't believe Bradley's power will trouble Khan at all.
Bradley throw a lot of wide punches which Khan can answer straight up the middle and with his hand speed he will always beat Bradley to the punch.
Bradley lack head movement which will make it easier for Khan to land his jab and land it often.
Bradley will try to crowd Khan, make the fight ugly, gets some slaps in but when the fight is not on the ropes Khan will dominate.
And at 147lbs Khan may have a significant weight advantage over Bradley and Bradley might not have much success pushing him around.
So who have you got for this fight?
Poll Coming!!!!
Bradley struggled with speed last night and Khan has that in abundance. Would be close but I think Khan has the tools to take it.
Too bad he doesn't have the defense. If Khan wasn't such a sucker for the overhand right, and if he consistently utilized lateral movement instead of moving in straight back, I would favor him. Khan doesn't have the complete skill-set or ring IQ to capitalize on physical advantages that he has over Bradley.
Shhit is funny,after the Khan Peterson fight most said Bradley would win this fight..Now most will believe Khan wins,the fickle minds of Boxing fans...
I like you have stayed consistent throughout.:boxing:

Guessing but his ring weight at 140lbs has been more than 149lbs, which was Bradley's ring weight at 147lbs.
Khan currently puts on around 9 lbs at light-welter, should imagine him putting on around 7 lbs at welter.
He is a big guy for 140lbs
Think he will move to light-middle eventually .
How much does Khan weigh when he is not training??His walk around weight,do you know??I'm very curious,how hard is he working to make 140lb??I know Bradley works very very hard to come down to 140lb..I can't wait for Khan to move up,wanna see how he is going to look...
I never played down Bradley performance last night I've given him credit. I just do not like arum. PAC Vs JMM 3, Rios vs Abril and now PAC Vs Bradley. The sooner he leaves boxing the better
We can agree here..Arum is a d!ck..
True,you know Khans 147lb weight because he fought there before,or are you just guessing??

Bradley's ring weight was 149lbs, not a lot for a welter.
Khan has a bigger frame and at 147lbs his ring weight will be 155lbs +
At 140lbs Bradley and Khan's ring weight will be about the same.
The advantage will give Khan an extra something in clinching and on the inside and well as absorbing the punches better and being more heavy handed.

AK by decision but if Arum is backing the other camp I smell a robbery.
Is this going to be your new excuse??Any Bradley fight won now has to be a robbery??Come on bro,you was picking Khan before the fight,so I would expect you to stick with that..But calm down a bit,Khan is no Pac,and Bradley went toe to toe with Pac..Give the guy a lil credit..
Depends on whether Khan can keep Bradley from smothering his punches. I'd give Amir the edge, but I'm curious as to the TS reasoning behind Khan having the advantage at 147.

I chose Bradley before the Pac fight and I'll choose him after as well. Khan has qualities that would be beneficial to beating Bradley, such as speed/height/range. However, we have all seen what happens when Khan starts to fade a little, and although Bradley doesn't have home-run power, he brings the intensity that'll give Khan trouble. He'll be able to get into Khan's range and fire his overhand right over and over. Bradley tends to do well against taller/rangier fighters for some reason. I think it's a 50-50 fight, but I'll side with Bradley.

WTF...Khan is no Pacquiao...I would still pick Bradley over Khan with no problem...
in fact I would still pick Bradley over most of the top welterweights, that includes Ortiz, Berto and some of those other hyped up AVERAGE FIGHTERS
Bradley is a tough little dude, he got into so exchanges with Pacquiao despite not having the Power, got wobbled a few times but kept fighting and actually figured some things out in the last 3 Rounds and really started to be much more effective
While I thought Pacquiao won, it was far from a "WIPE OUT" like HBO tried to sale it because they want Pacquiao to look impressive so bad so they can scream "PACQUIAO IS BACK" hahaha But in the last 3 Rounds I think Bradley figured out some things he can take within him in the next fight...BOX PACQUIAO...let him come to you and counter him, also thought his jabbed well but just did not have a SNAP TO THEM...also not sure why in the hell Bradley decides to put his hands down like he is Sergio Martinez or Roy Jones :nonono: never seen him do that before, but at the same time he was making Pacquiao miss and was ducking underneath a lot of Pacquiao punches
so despite last night Bradley still beats all contenders at 140 and most contenders at 147 who are not named Pacquiao or Mayweather
he needs to come in leaner in the rematch and drop some of those Muscles
Yeah I seen Khan out boxing him at ranges and hurting Bradley. I imagine Khan will press the action more than Pacquiao and be more reckless.
And though Bradley will land his big punches on Khan, I don't think they will be enough to put Khan down or have him in trouble.
With the weight advantage for Khan, Bradley may get pushed around.
