Timothy Bradley is currently THE MAN at 140. Which current 140 boxer gives him the most trouble?

each of these guys gives bradley different problems for different reasons.

khan has height and reach advantage over bradley, and his jab is probably the best jab at 140 lbs. you might have to give khan a slight edge in hand speed. Stylistically I see this fight as Boxer (khan) vs. Swarmer (bradley).

alexander has the best skill set of any of these guys, otherwise both are evenly matched with alexander having better power, but bradley having more versatility. Stylistically I see this fight as Boxer vs. Boxer.

maidana has aggression and power, but bradley just beat a 147 lbs version of him already. if bradley doesn't get clipped, he should win a comfortable UD. Stylistically this fight is Boxer vs Puncher.

Ortiz, despite being a quitter, has size, speed, and power on bradley. not sure if bradley is gonna wanna **** it out with ortiz cause he'd come out on the losing end of that brawl. not sure if bradley can beat ortiz on the outside convincing either given ortiz's speed, power and that fact that he's a runner now. more than likely this fight goes to a decision for either guy. Stylistically this fight is Boxer vs Boxer.

one guy you forgot is Zab Judah. Zab imho is a dangerous fight for bradley. first he's gotta get past the first 4-5 rounds where Zab is at his most dangerous. The problem with Zab is that if you aren't impressed with his speed or power, then he gives up mentally. Bradley has the conditioning to recover from Zab's powershots, but I don't think bradley has the power to make Zab wilt under pressure. Bradley could throw a zillion punches at Zab, but that just gives Zab opportunities to land big punches. Stylistically, I see this fight as Boxer (Zab) vs Swarmer (Bradley).

Honestly, I hate to say it, but Khan gives bradley the most trouble because of the height, reach, and speed advantage. That makes Khan's jab very dangerous for bradley, as bradley will have a lot of trouble trying to get inside on Khan and Khan will dominate the fight on the outside with his jab. Bradley just doesn't have the power to really hurt Khan when Khan makes mistakes. Despite the style match up in favor of bradley (swarmer beats boxer), I gotta go with the age old boxing wisdom of "the big good boxer beats the small good boxer."

u basically said it all there

Khan gives the most trouble i think because of the height and reach and more than that speed and bradley isn't a great puncher either

what u said bout zab is true also

[steptwome]

What about Judah?

[infamous larryx]

pullcounter basically summed it up

[Amazinger]

Pull counter basically answered TS already,Good post and analysis PC.

[eli porter]

I think he's an underdog against all of them, including zab judah. who beats him up the worst? maybe khan, probably maidana.

[Lorily]

I don't think Kahns height and reach will affect Bradley that much, but his movement will be the hardest thing for him through the first few rounds. Eventually though, I think he catches up with Kahn and makes him fight, getting the best of him then.
I see Ortiz being more dangerous for Bradley... a guy with all around skills, speed and power. He's more of a risk for Bradley because Ortiz will stand in there and fight with him and that's when Bradley gets wild sometimes, and Victor has good enough reflexes to make Tim pay for his mistakes. In Bradley/Abregu fight, you could see Timmy and his trainer working really hard on trying to control him getting wild, so that's something Bradley is working to improve (which is his biggest flaw IMO). Both Victor and Tim are still learning and getting better. Toughest fight for Bradley IMO, but I think Bradley would eventually wear Ortiz down (if he doesn't get wild and get caught.)

No one you silly little ****.

Bradley isnt really "the man". Hes got just about the best resume but he needs to beat the guys mentioned to get that title. I think Khan beats him comfortably
