They're both the same age with Bradley having 4 more professional fights than Khan. Khan having the longer better amateur career.
Khan is 22, Bradley is 25.
Bradley has had 3 fights against genuine world class 140 pounders in Witter, Holt and Campbell. Cherry was a solid win too.
Khan has had 1 fight against a world class opponent in Kotelnik who already lost a close decision to Witter. Khan has been starched by Prescott who isn't world class in a round, he's improved but it's still a flaw.
Bradley has alot more experience at world level, a better chin, hes fast (not as fast as Khan), hits hard ENOUGH to drop Khan (limond had him on ***** street) and a better skillset. Khan has more power and speed and power is a moot point because hes not going to be able to hurt Bradley.
I think it would be an interesting fight, but one that Khan isn't ready for at the moment. Give Khan two more fights against top opposition to hone his skills (let's say Salita and Maidana) and I'd give him a fighting chance. I don't think Bradley has the power to knock Khan out, but has better boxing skills than Khan at the moment.
I wouldn't like to call it if the fight happens some time next year.
