    khan-bradley is a big gamble on the part of Khan. Questions on his knockout loss still hounds him. His fights after that loss were more managed/massaged to boost his market value rather than his fighting value. A safer next fight might be against Paulie Malignaggi, and if he wins convincingly, move on to more "challenging" fights. Then again, he can go for all the marbles and fight Bradley.

      Timothy Bradley is getting a little overrated. He is a very good fighter, but he isn't the unbeatable beast most people are making him out to be.

      Speed - Khan
      Power - Khan
      Movement - Khan
      Defence - Bradley
      Chin - Bradley

      Khan beats Bradely in most attribute and skill categories. Plus Bradley wouldn't be able to knock Khan straight out...he just doesn't have the power. Knock down yes...knock out no.

      It was be a very close fight between two very schooled and evenly matched fighters. However, I believe Khan's superior speed will overcome Bradley. Maybe Bradley wins, but in no shape or form is he "too good for for Amir Khan". In fact, if Khan had a chin, he would be too good for anybody except Pacquiao, and Mayweather.

        Isn't "too good" a little far fetched? I would have thought he had the advanteges in defence and chin, but that's about it. Bardley is hyped a little.

          If Khan can't defeat the Breidis Prescott's of the world he certainly can't contend with the likes of Timothy Bradley, who has fought far better competition than Khan. Aside from getting knocked out in the first round against Prescott, Khan hasn't fought anyone noteworthy. Defeating a bum like Salita, who built up his record by beating bums, means nothing. Until Khan can show and prove, he's all hype.

            That's why Roach wants Bradley to spar with Manny because he knows over rated over hyped sorry ass Khan wont be enough to get Manny ready for Floyd plus that gives Roach a great chance to look at Bradley to see if Khan can beat him. I hope Bradley don't fall for that bull****. Bradley will knockout Khan

                Khan expressed that he wants to make a splash in the USA. Take the fight and roll the dice. No shame if he losses to a good fighter. My prediction Khan will get KOed again by another unknown, Freddie likes to match his fighters with other fighters that technically fits. If Khan beats Tim the sky is the limit for him.

                    bradley is too much for khan right now and hes not ready yet,give it a few years and the fight could be absolutely massive

                      khan can't afford to lose by KO again, when his only loss is still fresh in everyone's memory. A sure loss will set him back even more, to the point that he will become in the eyes of the boxing world, a journeyman. So he has to be more careful in his selections. But being too careful is also bad, it will pad his records, but will not do him much good. Bradley is still around 2 fights away for Khan.
