Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley: "Amir Khan, Just Stop Running!"

[AssasinKing]

timothy bradley is the man at 140 to 147lbs, khan is also very good but bradley is better.

Why the hell did you mention 147?

Pacquiao...Mayweather...even mosley > Timmy

Bradley is a very accomplished fighter, and is obviously the number 1 in the JWW division, however, I don't know how people can say he has a superior skill set to Khan?

In his last few performances, Bradley has shown that he can effectively pressure and force his will upon an opponent, still, he is somewhat scrappy, doesn't make very good use of his jab, and can only control fights at close range. His defense and head movement is good, but Alexander, Abregu, and Peterson aren't going to expose any deficiencies in that area anyway.

In Khan's last few fights, he has dominated Kotelnik and Mallignaggi with his jab and punch accuracy, and controlled large parts of the Maidana fight with his jab, movement, range, and punch variation. However his defence was poor when he fought on the inside, and a lot of his movement was wasted.

In my opinion, both fighters are evenly matched, although Bradley is better equipped to fight on the inside, while Khan is better equipped to fight on the outside. I don't believe that either fighter is more rounded than the other, because both fight in completely different styles that can't be compared.

Khan is a model outside fighter who makes use of his accuracy, jab, movement, and reach, while Bradley is a model inside fighter who makes use of his strength, ability to close the distance, and the tenacity and variation of punches he uses when on the inside.

Overall, their very different, but equally skilled fighters. The victor will be the one who can best impose their style upon the other.

Why is that a laughable statement??Bradley has the better resume and imo better skill set..Khan is more talented with more gifts but that alone won't win this fight for him..

The guy said Bradley is the man at 140 and 147....laughable.

IMO Khan's size and speed will be the key factor in enabling him to impose his style on the fight. I am very confident that Amir is going to win this fight.

Agreed,but I would still give a slight edge to Bradley in the skills department just based on his ability to adjust..Bradley can fight on the outside as he showed in both the Peterson and Abregu fights..Overall I do agree with you this is a very even fight in my eyes,but I would have to give a slight edge to Bradley based on the fact he has face more styles in the ring and has shown the ability to adjust..

147lb is laughable,sorry bout that..LOL..I'm a Bradley fan and even I know that does not make sense..

Do you not know that size can be use as against you??Bradley is short and not gonna be right in front of Khan(aka Maidana)and is very hard to hit being he get's low..If/when Bradley get's inside(which he will)what then for Khan??How well his size help him then??Oh yea Bradley is also fast don't sleep..

[AllEyesOpen]

Say what you want, but Bradley has balls of steel to call out Khan, who has a size and power advantage IMO. Bradley is truly a throwback fighter, he fights all comers. I just hope he keeps clearing out the jww division and doesn't fall for the big money trap at 147. I'd much rather see him hold the crown at 140 instead of taking a lose against Pac or May at 147. Although i wouldn't mind a Pac/Bradley fight at 140, but that's just wishful thinking.

It should be a good fight. I actually think Bradley is the more rounded fighter and if they were the same size I would give him the edge but the combo of size and speed is going to make life very difficult for him.
