    If Bradley catches Khan with counter shot hes going to get rocked.

    I see khan getting hurt 3 or 4 times.

      How so when he's been on top pretty much every step of the way in every fight he's had? I've never noticed a moment of mental weakness. Can you point out an instance as an example?

        And, we know Bradley is the much better inside fighter.
        So you think you have a guy like Freddie Roach in your corner and you have a fight like Khan had against Maidana and you're not gonna learn anything?

        Thats one advantage Khan has over Bradley, not simply Freddie Roach in his corner but he has not been in the game as long as Bradley.

        He has more to learn and so what he brings to the showdown will be a much larger range of tools than he took into the ring with Maidana, in short he will have learned much more than what Bradley learned from dominating Alexander.

        And he's proved he can learn.

          You said weakness, not "mental weakness". Bradley is mentally tough, I'll give him that. But as a fighter, hes extremeley flawed. He hasnt exactly stormed to victory in any of his fights.

            Well he hasn't learned it yet as far as we know right?

            I mean even the great Manny Pacquiao inside game is not good at all.

            And, if a slow Maidana could get on the inside, there is no doubt in my mind that Bradley can.

            And, is not if but when he does Khan will be in trouble.

              Bradley is mentally tough and can adjust in a fight. Khan has speed and a great jab. I see more weakness with Khan as a fighter than Bradley. Khan at times at the Maidana fight would back up into the ropes and get hit with uppercuts. Khan showed toughness but I think he is like Fernando Vargas that he is to tough for his chin.

                Of course I was talking about mental strength. Go back and read my posts to whom I was originally talking to when u butted yourself in.

                Every fighter has lapses in physical fortitude, it's just inevitable in this game.
                Hence, Calzaghe getting dropped by Hopkins and Jones both yet still winning and never wavering mentally.

                That's what I'm talking about.

                  Elaborate, it is clear that Khan is extremely flawed.

                    You simply said weakness in your post.

                    I dont recall Khan showing mental weakness. You have to be mentally strong to survive the onslaught Maidana put on him.

                      Khan just needs to get his footwork down fast, fluid and solid, get his defence tightened up and Timmy will be in the bag.

                      I'm not saying thats 100%, again its my opinion. Its just something about Bradley makes me think he won't finish the job. He comes in stops and starts. Little spurts here and there. Switches styles too often. Seems unsure of himself. I'm not convinced.

                      He might prove me wrong but the height the reach and a real defence is all Khan needs.
