    Kahn honestly, is not more skilled. He still has defensive holes and has feasted on sub-par competition for a LONG time. Up until recently, he was mostly fighting guys who were coming up from featherweight and in some instances, getting dropped by them. Bradley has taken on nothing but good competition in holt, campbell, witter and now peterson and dominated. Until kahn gets in there with a real champion or a true contender who can **** right along with him (maidana) you cant really make that claim.

    I seriously dont understand this logic at all, all of the sudden a guy who has beaten about 2 solid fighters his whole career is more skilled and will easily beat a guy who has survived the best in the division? come on.

      I actually think this is a very tough fight to call, I'd lean towards Bradley but Khan would have a pretty good shot at winning.

        yea its very strange indeed. khan is better cause he has fast hands and more power? isn't it about how you use your tools more than anything? otherwise zab judah would be the best fighter around. if khan is so skilled how come he was letting tuneup opponents drop him all the time? do people even watch the fights? hype is a wonderful thing.

              Khan is clearly very talented, but he's not as skilled as Bradley. Maybe in the future he will be, but he's not there yet.

              Bradley also has a far better resume, which is important because it's seen him face a variety of styles against world class opposition, and I think he will have learn a lot from facing the likes of Holt, Witter, Nate Campbell etc.

              Also (and this shouldn't need to be pointed out) working with Roach is no guarantee of anything. Yes, he's done a great job with Pacquiao and is probably the best trainer in the sport at the moment, but he doesn't have a magic wand and there are plenty of boxers he's worked with who haven't had great success.

                  Sir, you just said it all. to me Brad' is one of the most complete fighters right now, Khan is on his way there but not yet. I'm not saying that Brad' is going 2 roll over him 'cause K is a great fighter but Brad' got more ring than him at this moment, let's c in a couple fights from now.......

                    I was very impressed with Bradley in his last fight, Khan is a skilled fighter but i might lean towards Bradley he has beat much better fighters than Khan.
