    They're pretty much where Alexander was before the Witter fight, untested but talented.

Bradley has done a good job of cleaning out the division and Pacquiao aside, he'd beat anybody at Light Welterweight. The hate for Khan is getting a bit silly on this board, if Ortiz or Devon Alexander fought Bradley, everyone would say they're brave young fighters, but with Khan it's a different story.
      People just dont tend to easily forget KOs like the one Khan took. He'll be label as glass chined and known by that until he does something to make us forget. It dosent help he has since then fought fighter who lack punching power.

            Yeah, true say people don't forget KO's. But a lot of great boxers have been on the end of devastating KO's. I reckon that we should give Khan his props for wanting to fight the best and giving us exciting fights. Also knowing that he can get KO'd with any punch is what makes his fights worth watching, kind of like how so many people tune in to watch a Mayweather fight, just in hope that he'll lose.

              Yeah I agree, at this point in time Bradley dominates Khan. Bradley is almost as quick, has more power and a more rounded boxer with more experience. Maybe after a few mandatories and a fight against guys like Alexander and Maidana he'll be able to test himself against Bradley.

                    Close fight, IMHO. Bradley has yet to do anything to suggest he can 'dominate' Khan.. or certainly that he has "more power" (he doesn't). He is top dog in the division (bar Pacquiao, obviously, if he chooses to fight in it at any point), but got there with his only notable wins being Witter and Holt, and the first of those now has less currency than it did. I assume nobody gives him any more credit for 'beating' Campbell than they did Khan beating Barrera.

                    Bradley would be favourite, sure, and he certainly has a better record than Khan, but it wouldn't surprise me particularly if Khan won either by KO or decision. If I was Warren it's Maidana I'd be avoiding, not Bradley.

                      all really valid points but you gotta look at the fighters...from what ive seen khan takes NO risks in the ring he applies pressure when he feels its comfortable...where as bradley takes chances when he's fightin...especially against Witter that overhand right that dropped witter was awesome so I still got Bradley by late KO or TKO
