        Tim is good on the inside but the jab can be utilised and key without it ever having to land. It will be used as a deterant for Bradley aswell as setting him up for counters and offence.

        As Khan mentioned in the Sky Sports broadcast, a jab, step back and uppercut/right hand could catch Bradley all night if executed perfectly. Bradley tends to dip his head and jump in which could be his downfall against Khan.

        Yes, easier said than done but Khan isnt exactly an amateur himself.

          The jab is the key to beating every good fighter.

              Khan thinks his jab is unstoppable. Slow Maidana eventually 'walked' through it and nearly knocked him out with the ref stepping in to save him. His pitty pat jab aint nothing special against fast guys. Trust me. Paulie was always over-rated so really apart from a win against Maidana, Khan aint ****. He really aint. That is why he don't wanna fight Prescott again. I agree with the 'Khan can't fight on the inside' comments. Yep, he gets hit all the time. I think Katsidis can beat Khan if he's smart about it. No doubt he'll fight a small, old, slow, shot fighter in April though and claim he's fighting a monster. LOL. I also think Holt could beat him, but does he have problems making 140 now?

                i bet he sed sumthing similar for maidana but spent the entire fight in trouble.

                if plodder / telegrapher could land at will then i expect timmy to do so also.... not beating timmy with just a jab... he'll need more than that

                  I actually don't think Khan coming forward would be his best option, he attacks in straight lines and can be turned. He also tends to lunge more.

                  His best bet is to fight the way he did against Maidana and Kotelnik and look to build an early lead IMO.

                    He might not be too clever on twitter but I don't think you'll find a boxer who gets into a fight and only has one punch in his gameplan.

                    He's a combination King with his hands but he's talking about it being a key to the game.

                    Not the only punch he throws.

                      He didn't even throw the jab at Maidana that much actually.

                      Holt? OK whatever.

                      How often do pople dop from jabs? Not often, it is used to control a fight though.
