    If he dominates Bradley, then yes. But I don't see him doing that to be honest.

    IMO, Amir needs to change his mentality. Take Bradley's mentality for example. That guy always goes in to fights like he is the challenger. Always. He is down to earth and acknowledges his own weaknesses and strengths.

    Amir still doesn't fully acknowledge his weaknesses (Punch resistance, inability to adjust, versatility)

      Beating Bradley will not make Amir a superfighter. To become a superfighter you usually have to be great in multiple divisions and beat great fighters in multiple divisions. Khan has quite a ways to become a really special fighter.

        Then if he moves up and wins titles at 147 he will be seen as a top 10 P4P fighter unquestionably.
        Amir will be locked in the top 10 P4P if he beats Bradley alone. I would even rank him top 5. But that's me, .

          Beat Bradley. Then he's undisputed/lineal JWW King. The world would be his oyster.

            Pacquiao also had a lot of raw talent, bro. Basically what Freddie did over all these years is to change him in a two-handed fighter and use his footwork to get out of situations.

              If Amir puts on a show and dominates Bradley, he will.

                winning in one weight class is not enuff to become a superfighter. khan has a long wayys to go b4 hes in that category imo. the guys that are in the list now, absolutely dominate opponents they fight. khan has yet to show that level of dominance over a long span like these guys.

                  Khan has the ability, sure, he now needs to fight (and defeat) a string of top guys and one or two of these 'superfighters'.

                    Very rarely is a fighter considered a Superfighter by being the best in one division. On top of that it isn't like Khan demolished some of the talent at 140. Yes, he beat Maidana but he didn't destroy him. Khan would have to destroy Bradley and move up to 147 and beat some great fighters to be in the same breath as a Mayweather or Pacquaio. Other than the Heavyweights very rarely do people rank ATG fights that only were great in one division.

                      But in terms of the Max Kellermans of the world I think he may have to do more.
