People don't get the misconception that Khan will be on the defensive like against Maidana, against Bradly he'll be alot more aggressive, will be a good fight if it happens.
My assessment on Khan VS Bradley, and prediction.

Bradley does NOT have better power or a better offense than Khan
Khan is starting to put shot's together aswell as anyone in the sport
Bradley is tiny, his only chance is to get inside, take away his jab... he hasn't got the power to hurt Khan IMO so he'd have to outwork him
It would have to be an ugly fight for Bradley to win
He'd need to get up close and personal... stray too far away and Khan would rain shots down on him.Comment

Khan has that style to beat Bradley, get out of range and straight shots for sure is his krytonite. Bradley could put on the pressure and outwork him also though.
Sometimes I see Bradleys work as great stuff to watch, but when I analysed him, his work isn't that impressive. He wins on workrate mainly, with some movement and slipping shots, but he's not a slick fighter as everyone thinks.
No way in hell he even troubles Pacquaio, he's not the 'slick African American' people think.
Khan has always had heart bro, we use to argue over him etc... every time he gets hurt, he tries to come back. He used his brains in the 10th and 11th to recover.
Khan is a very exciting fighter, throws a lot, can get hit, vulnerable and chats a lot of ****.
I think that Bradley would beat Maidana without getting as hurt, but tbh his style of going close is also something that makes him get hit, and Vs Holt who is not a great fighter, he got dropped 2 times.
Bradley throws those wide shots kind of in an awkward square position and his balance goes off. I think he could get dropped a few times.
I had Khan up by 4 rounds, but IMo it could have been higher.
I forgot it now, but Maidana won round 10 (10-8), 11, maybe 7 and 8. Khan won rounds 12 and the rest, also had a KD and Point deduction.
I'll need to rewatch it and get a score again, it was 4 AM when I watched the fight so I forgot it.

Holt is a different fight the Maidana,he shoots his shots straight and Miadana loops his you can see them coming is what I'm saying..Bradley would have never been tagged by the shots that hurt Khan..BTW Khan got caught by the big right because he was moving away like he was all night..Bradley moves forward not away much harder to hit him with kind of shot..I don't see Maidana knocking Bradley down at all..Comment

i really think some of u guys on this site have never seen bradley fight. if u did, theres no way u could say he'd be an easy fight for khan. in fact im pretty sure,he'd go into that fight being the favorite.Comment

Why and how? Peterson basically lost to Ortiz IMO and both are still green anwyay, Campbell is shot, Cherry is shot, Witter has been on the slide for ages and never that great, Holt is shot and ****. Abregu I don't even know.
Pain I have to say I believe styles make fights..From what I seen yesterday(not taking anything away from Khan he was great)Holt and Abregu would give Khan some trouble..Comment

@ TS.
Khan is a big puncher, he just rarely sits down on his punches. In this fight he had to constantly be on the move to avoid Maidana's power - he was circling to Maidana's left to avoid his big right hand. Against Bradley, who has vert little power compared to Maidana, Khan can afford to sit down on his punches more. But Bradley is quick and can capitalise, but Khan is slightly quicker.
Anyway, I'd give:
Power: Khan; A. Bradley; C.
Speed: Khan; A+, Bradley; A.
Defense: Khan; B. Bradley; B or B+.
Footwork: Khan; A. Bradley; A.
Heart: Khan; A+. Bradley; A or A+.
Chin: Khan; C. Bradley; B.
Khan also has a 4inch height advantage and a big reach advantage.
Khan wins by UD (7 rounds to 5) or stops Bradley early on (catches Bradley off-guard and punishes him with quick, clean combos and body shots).Comment

LMAO damn have you ever seen Bradley fight..If so then you would know Bradley is far more skilled then Maidana..I have Bradley winning a UD,Khan is fast and look wonderful last night but Maidana is no Bradley..Bradley has very fast feet as well as hands he is gonna be a big problem..Comment

Watch the video, believe me Bradley is not a slick fighter, he slips some shots, but he turns his body and swings 2 or 3 swings, that's his pattern in a lot of his recent fights.
Now Bradley won't be able to take so many shots like what Maidana throws. He boxed pretty well VS Petrson, but still got stuck in aswell.
People acting like Khan lost badly, IMO he lost maybe a few rounds, 3 or 4 plus 1 extra for the 10-8 round, but had 2 up anyway.
It wasn't close on the cards as given for me the more I think of it.
The thing that made it close, he got hurt.
Bradley likes to put on the pressure and throw a lot, this is where he can get hit and he does.Comment
