    I disagree. I think Khan has as much heart as anybody in the game. He reminds me of De La Hoya. Khan also takes on very tough fights. Bradley is just a protected fighter, and I was never sold on Devon being very good as he comes off as another American hypejob who really doesn't come to fight. Now that Bradley has beaten Alexander everybody is jumping on his **** when that win is only as good as his other mediocre wins. Devon Alexander was hyped and now exposed to be nothing more than a quitter who does not come to fight and only his future will hold whether or not he was ever the real deal or not. My guess is NOT.

    Khan on the other hand has taken on Maidana which was a more impressive victory and showcase of skill than Bradley has ever shown.
    I understand your opinion and all, and can respect it but I have to say that Khan has a lot more proving to do. The Prescott loss was ugly and he refuses to make amends. He's scared if you ask me. If the rematch happened, yea I figure Khan wins but he just hasn't shown as much heart as Bradley and certainly his will to win is not as strong. Bradley has never shown a moment of weakness while Khan has.

    Next, ODLH @ 140 was a pure beast and I promise you he starches any version of Khan there was or ever will be.

      • Maidana proved to be exactly what I thought he would be. A one-dimensional slugger.
      Maidana's a little more than that IMO.

      His feet are slow and his balance is off and his defense porous, but his timing is decent, hell, he was able to counter both Ortiz and Khan, guys who are seen as far better than him in terms of skills and talent. His jab actually was decent when used in the Khan fight at times as well. He's a pressure fighter through and through yeah, but he's not totally crude.

        Maidana is a beast and if they think Khan is the best @ 140 then Maidana can't be far off seeing as how he was really close to stopping Khan and outpointing him.

          Khan's jab and reach will keep Timmy at bay.

              Really?

              If a slow footed Maidana could get on the inside of Khan don't you think Bradley could?

              And, we know Bradley is the much better inside fighter.

                  I'm afraid not. Bradley knows how to get inside and will be able to on Khan.
                  I do think Khan has more power so his timing will be key. If he can land on Bradley while coming in but I don't think he can if Alexander couldn't.

                    In pretty much every significant fight he has had.

                      Bradley gets inside and than **** gets real son.

                      Bradley will drive Khan through hell and back.

                      Bradley outworks Khan.
