Tim Bradley "I have the style to beat Khan"
Collapse
-
It's the punches you don't see that hurt the most. Sure, Maidana is a stronger puncher but he is slow and you can see them coming from miles away. So, against a guy like Khan he really isn't going to touch him. If Khan had good footwork and a better defense Maidana would of never got to him and that's why I know Khan isn't elite because Maidana did get to him. If he fixed these things he would beat Bradley but since he hasn't that's why Bradley will be a dangerous puncher against Khan.
Bradley will be faster than Maidana and has the footwork to come in on better angles and touch Khans chin with shots he can't see. He might also make Khan respect the inside game so much so that he will be so focused in on trying to create space that his already leaky defense, leaks even more. Bradley just causes so many more problems to Khan than what Maidana does. Khan might not be kayoed in the fight but I certainly think he will be knocked on his ass. I have no doubt that Bradley is a more dangerous puncher to Khan.Comment

No you don't tim, your lack of power will hurt you in this fight, Khan is not going to be afraid to engage you, and he is going to repeatey stand just outside your range and blast away at you with lightning fast combos, when you attempt to come inside you will be headlocked and bullied by the far larger khan, and the shots that you land won't hurt Khan.Comment

The shot that Maidana hurt Khan with was a looping right thrown on Khan's blindside. He didnt see it.It's the punches you don't see that hurt the most.

Bradley is a quicker puncher and he could score a flash knockdown on Khan but he hasnt got the power to hurt him badly and definitely not to finish him.Comment

Khan was rocked by counter punches from both Maidana and Prescott and Bradley is better at that than them, but obviously is not the same kind of puncher.
Though if Bradley were to hurt Khan it wouldn't surprise me, but I don't think he's good enough of a finisher to take him out.Comment

Bradley is Kotelnik level of power, Khan took quite a lot of Kotelnik shots and wasnt hurt by themKhan was rocked by counter punches from both Maidana and Prescott and Bradley is better at that than them, but obviously is not the same kind of puncher.

Bradley has better power than his record indicates and will set up his right hand so you don't see it coming.
I wouldn't be surprised if Khan was hurt by a right hand that he didn't see, especially when he starts to tire late on.Comment

And if Khan gets rocked the way he did late in the Maidana fight dont expect him to be able to get away from Bradley and survive the round. Maidana was straight up and down and just plodded forward with his hands up, winging wild shots and adjusting his trunks every now and then. Bradley would cut of the ring and put Khan in a corner forcing either the referee or Freddy to stop the fight, or putting Khan down for a ten count.It's the punches you don't see that hurt the most.

If he can get past Khan's jab then Bradley does have the perfect style to beat Khan.
Khan can't fight on the inside to save his life and Bradley is probably the best inside fighter @ 140. This entire fight depends on Khan's jab. If it can't keep Bradley on the outside then I think Bradley wins easily. If it does than Khan might get a KO/TKO.
Would be a great fight if it ever happens, IMO.Comment
