I remember back when both Khan and Bradley were at 140 lbs. Opinions were split down the middle as to who would win the fight, it was a 50/50.
Bradley did openly duck Khan at 140 during an interview with Leave It In The Ring a few years ago. It's on YouTube, just type in "bradley khan sweepstakes". Since then he fought several times at 147 and some have argued he has lost 3 times but received 3 gift decisions against Pacquiao, Marquez and Provodnikov. Others suggest that he only lost to Pacquiao, while beating the other 2 fighters. And a very small number believe he beat all 3.
So, how do you think a fight between Khan and Bradley plays out if they were to fight next at 147.
Not a realistic match up right now only because of the absurd Top Rank / Golden Boy stalemate but f orget them..
I go with Khan by decision i cant see bradley's style causing too many problems for khan, he already beat malignaggi easy and paulie is a good boxer/mover with low punching power, not too far off bradley if you think about it they're about the same level. Think about the people Paulie lost to, there's a big chance Bradley loses to them too. he lost to Cotto, Khan, Hatton, Broner. I bet Bradley prolly loses to prime versions of all those fighters

Pffft'......:bottle:
Bradley doesnt have the POP to hurt khan... let alone stop him...
If you cant stop khan... HE WILL BEAT YOU. .. Simple as that.
Bradley didn't want any of Khan at 140 after he beat Judah...
It's different now of course...
Bad style match up for bradley with khans speed and reach! Khan takes this. Would I be surprised if bradley clipped khan in an exchange? no. But I favor khan in this fight alot.
Bad Style matchup for Khan too?
Khan can't fight in the inside, all Bradley has to do is smother him the whole fight.
Did Timothy Bradley duck Amir Khan? Your answer to that question will form your opinion of, in my opinion, one of the best fighters to enter the pro-game over the last decade. I personally believe Bradley skipped out on the Khan fight, not because he was afraid of Khan and wanted to avoid him due to physical risks (which constitutes "ducking") but because he wanted the big Pacquiao fight. That for me, is a good enough reason to skip any fighter on the planet, it isn't ducking, it's wanting to fight the best and make the most money.
In terms of the actual bout itself, I will have to use the old adage of "styles make fights" and Khan, for all his difficulties in recent fights is still very quick, hits hard enough and throws great combinations. Bradley does not have the punch or the size to dissuade Khan, I firmly believe this is a fight Khan should have looked for before Mayweather. It's winnable and will catapault him back into the big time.
I voted Bradley wins by KO. Bradley is fighting well these days and Khan keeps getting worse.Bradley is much better than Diaz who gave Khan so much trouble and knocked him down.Bradley was never afraid of Khan.He just passed on the Khan fight to fight a much better, more important, higher ranked Pacquiao for more money.

The Garcia stoppage was premature, Khan was fighting back and recovered, up until them Khan was schooling Danny, go watch the fight again.
Khan beats Bradley.
Khan won the Championship rounds against Peterson, he won't fade.
If Maidana did not hurt Khan, he would not have won a round. If Garcia did not hurt Khan, he would not have won a round. Malignaggi barely won a round, and he's a good pure boxer. Zab Judah didn't win a round, Kotenik got completely outboxed. McCloskey and Molina shut-out.
Only guy who took rounds off Khan was a juiced up Peterson with a favorable ref and he lost 8-4 on my card.
Bradley needs to hurt Khan, and if he doesn't, he isn't winning.
Bradley's KO percentage is 37.5%, just two stoppages since 2007.
But it's a Khan thread, everyone beats him by KO now apparently. Hell I really don't like the guy, but its not funny anymore. Especially when we are now saying Bradley may stop someone
Khan no longer can win the big one. He get tired in the second half of the fight if he isn't iced in the first half. Bradley wouldn't ice him early but he might late.

"Amir Khan your next"
"Amir Khan i'm coming for you"
"Amir Khan you escaped" LOLLLLL
runs away
Khan: "Grow some balls" while Bradley walks in to fight old man casamayor...
Bradley can't call himself an ATG when he didn't want to finish his job at 140 by beating Khan...
Khan is a washed up, glass chinned, mentally wrecked, prima-donna who is barely good enough to sweep Bradley's sidewalk off.
