    I worded that wrong. Bradley isn't as fast but he has great hand speed. Fastest hands that Khan will have ever faced in a real fight. I used to think Khan would beat Bradley but I can't see that anymore. Bradley was rocking a full fledged welterweight in his last fight. Khan on the other hand wants to rock on a super featherweight.

      Would Khan have got up from the shot that Holt laid on Bradley?

        Khan is a better physical talent, but Bradley is clearly the more well rounded and smarter fighter IMO.

        However, that may not be enough for Bradley if they fight.

          Maybe, maybe not. More hypothetical arguments. But Khan was put under more heat than Bradley has ever been in, thats for sure. So I dunno where you get this "if Khan had a 1/4 heart of Bradley" BS from....it just doesnt add up.

            if they ever fight. thats the key word......because i honestly don't think khan will fight bradley if he runs through alexander. i can already see him fighting JMM and then moving up to welterweight. this is the realty that i see....

            but i would pick bradley to beat khan in that one but it's a close fight.....

              I assume the heat you're talking about is Khan running the last 3 rounds in his fight against Maidana. I thought he ran more than he boxed in those last few rounds. Sure, he used the jab and came in for a few seconds to try to steal a round but it was mainly the jab just to deter Maidana, so Khan could keep backing up. If he ever gets in that situation with Bradley, he won't be able to breath. That's why I don't rate the Maidana win highly. Dude is so limited that all Khan had to do was be smart and he would win. Khan let his guard down against Prescott and that was his downfall. A real boxer like Bradley is a whole new beast.

                Bradley is not a finisher. He may be able to knock Khan down with a quick punch, but he doesnt have a killer instinct like Maidana.

                But theres no basis to say Khan doesnt have 1/4 of the heart of Bradley. None at all.

                  Agreed, but I would favor Bradley. Usually I favor a type of fighter like Khan against anyone but he simply isn't polished enough, at least compared to Bradley. Like you said Bradley is just more well rounded than Khan and I think that is Khans downfall. Unlike great fighters that have gifted talents on par with Khan, Khan has sloppy footwork. I don't know what it is but it just seems like he doesn't put himself in the best position to cover up or even take advantage of his opponent on the offense. He has great hand speed but it seems like he doesn't know how to use it properly. He needs more training to beat a hard nose kid like Bradley imo.

                    Khan mostly uses his feet to get away and create space when in trouble and/or under pressure, and when doing so, he's square, causing him to shuffle his feet. That's something that needs to be corrected. I do not see the same great footwork that others see.

                      Khan might win because of height and reach, however I doubt it. Khan can't fight defensively. Doesn't fight well going back and has almost no head movement.

                      Dirk your boy hasn't shown heart. Bradley got off the canvas to win a fight, thats heart. Barely surviving a fight against an exhausted opponent isn't heart............it's just surviving.

                      As for the REAL fight. Bradley by ud. He'll makes adjustments after alexander starts strong.
