Timothy Bradley vs Amir Khan official poll.

You just assume Khan's just gonna stand there and defend, Khan had to be really cautious against Maidana (a bit over the top imo) but he won't have to be as much against Bradly. He'll fight alot different to how he fought Maidana.Comment

Bradley has the footwork, speed and endurance to get inside on khan alnight...
khan has to have room to be effective... tim will be in his chest all night and khan will be punching over him or or hitting shoulders. Timmy will be putting him on the ropes and precision punching that kidney and liver and chopping sneaky right hands that khan will not see.Comment

Maidana and Bradley are different style of fighters. Maidana is taller, rangier, has a lot more power, puts on more persistent pressure, better chin.Does Maidana have the same hand speed or footwork as Bradley does? Maidanas punches are very telegraphed and pretty loopy. Bradley is fast and his punches are type of punches you don't see. You're barking up the wrong tree if you think that Maidana not being able to drop Khan is the reason why Tim can't. Besides Maidana almost got to him anyways. After last night I certainly wouldn't be too confident in Khans chin.
Does Bradley have the foot and hand speed of Khan?
Does he have way more power than Khan?
Is he taller, rangier, and possessing a much better chin?
No/no not particularly.
As we look back at recent fights I personally don't think the answers are particularly positive for a Bradley win.
In terms of chin, I think Bradley would have to land a hell of a lot more varying shots landing by surprise. Would he really be able to get that close, past the jab, that often to do that and test Khan's chin like Maidana did?Last edited by Kris Silver; 12-12-2010, 04:12 PM.Comment

Agreed on this good post.one thing i want answered is where did this notion that khan has power like that come from??? khan doesnt have power that will overwhelm bradley. if u think so, ur fooling yourself.
another thing is the infighting. if bradley gets in on khan and smothers his punches, what is khan gonna do??? he doesnt know hot to fight going backwards, he doesnt look tremendously skilled in infighting, what makes u guys think bradley is ganna fight khan's fight??? im almost certain he'll open him up on the inside, because thats how bradley fights.Comment

I think Khan has faster hands. But so did Holt.
Holt and Peterson were taller and rangier than Bradley. In fact Thier both Rangier than Khan.
Bradley has a better chin.
I favor Bradley, but the facts make up a very even fight.Comment

Agreed. I'm not saying Bradley is a shoo in to win or anything. It's a matchup between two very good fighters and either man can win. What I disagree with is with people that are saying Bradley can't hurt Khan because Khan didn't go down against Maidana. Maidana may have the lofty kayo numbers but Tim has sneaky power and can certainly hurt anyone in the division, especially a guy that has a major question mark regarding his chin.Maidana and Bradley are different style of fighters. Maidana is taller, rangier, has a lot more power, puts on more persistent pressure, better chin.
