    I'm not trying to belittle Bradley, but he hasn't exactly been Ko'ing ATG's
    that's true he hasn't won by TD when his all time great blown up opponent had a massive head wound and they let him fight till the 5th just to give khan the win.

      Lol by Ko'ing ATG's, I wasn't reffering to Khan/Barerra, which doesnt count as an atg lol, i was just saying, Bradley has a solid resume, but P4P material he aint.

      yet.

        But people are acting like he is 100000X better than Khan, and i think at this stage, Bradley is only mildly better, and a little motre proven, there isn't much between them.
        a little more proven? he's beaten 2 of the belt holders at 140. a top prospect in peterson. the best or 2nd best lightweight moving up. hell he even beat miguel vasquez who beat prescott.

        khan beat kotelnik and do we even count that farce against barrera?

          Malinaggi would be the safe fight and biggest money fight.

          Bradley bores me.

            khan's already got his "edner cherry" out of the way with the salitas fight. time to step up and fight someone on par with kendall holt if he wants to live up to bradley's standards

              At this many fights, Bradley fought Edner Cherry.

                Keep the title and fight Maidana in the US on normal non-PPV HBO in April 2010, it'll be PPV in the UK though.

                Then Malignaggi at Madison Square Garden in the Summer on PPV in UK and USA. Will generate quite a few sales and $$ for both fighters.

                Then Ricky Hatton in Manchester in autumn on PPV in UK and US(big money fight).

                Then a mandatory on the undercard of a superfight at MGM Grand e.g. Mayweather/Pacman in late 2010 or early 2011. The PPV sales would be great and it will also tempt more British people to buy the PPV in order to watch Khan fight.

                Unification fight vs. Devon Alexander or Juan Urango on PPV (Spring 2011)

                The Undisputed unification fight vs. Tim Bradley on PPV at Madison Square Garden on PPV in summer 2011. Enormous figt, by then I predict Bradley will be in the top 10 P-4-P and Khan will be close. Fight will be billed as "UNIFICATION" or "BOYS WILL BECOME MEN" (seeing as they are both pretty young) or something like that.

                Khan's resume leading up to it would be very respectable; e.g. (shot) Barrera, dominated Kotelnik, blew away Salita, pwned Maidana, dominated Malignaggi, KO'd Hatton, KO'd Alexander or decisioned Urango.

                Gonna be a big 18 months for Khan!

                  who cares about number of fights? khan has a belt. he fought and beat a "champion." you cant treat his career as if he's an up n coming prospect anymore.
                  when bradley got his belt he fought cherry (who was a more dangerous fighter than salitas), then holt.
                  khan got his belt, fought salitas, now if he wants to follow the line of progression he has to fight someone the caliber of kendall holt.

                    sven ottke won his belt in his 13th fight. if ottke could do that why does khan have to be babysat like an infantile ******?

                      That would be great match up for him, Cant see a better way to prove yourself than that but its not happening.
