im i the only one that sees khan for what he really is?

[Easy-E]

thats fair, but Khan has fantastic handspeed and solid pop. Even if he is not a complete fighter, his physical attributes make up for it. Just look what he did to Zab.

Can Bradley beat him? Outside of May and Pac Amir is favorite against anyone from 140-147.

that is true, but its not really warranted. its more to do with his hype and the exciting style he fights in. there are plenty of dangerous fights out there for him, if u think bradley is an easy win for him then ull be really disappointed.

Same old crap.

I thought he would be found out against a power puncher with speed like Judah?

What happened to that theory?

before it was a pressure fighter woth power in Maidana ?

Now its a guy his height, with pressure and power and speed thats counters ?

There are no guys out there like that.

Khan smokes Ortiz easily.

I don't think Bradley is an easy fight, nor is Ortiz. That said, I think pre-fight, Khan is the favorite.

i dont think so. to me, ortiz is the worst matchup stylistically for khan. hes just as good of a boxer, hes proly stronger, not as fast, but bigger and he hits harder. i would love to see that fight but i doubt it happens until after a potential floyd showdown.

Nowhere near. All he does is lunging punches - he doesn't use a jab or head movement to get within range - and he loves dropping his guard when he's in front of you throwing wildly.

You'll see when he loses every minute of every round against Floyd.

He mixes in some jabs in there, and he hooks off the jab extremely well. In fact I think a lot of those 1's you guys are talking about are really 3's. He just throws the punch really fast.

As pathetic as Judah's performance was, Judah and McCloskey did make Khan miss a lot. And Malignaggi of all people, bruised up Khan. I bring this up because these guys are good to average fighters, Prescott is also an average fighter. Maidana is a good fighter too, and that fight was close even with the point deduction. But Khan did dominate Malignaggi and Khan offensively.

I would say Khan is a very good fighter, he can beat the good-average fighters out there pretty easily with his offense. He has really fast hands and good power. I think he's being a bit underrated in this thread, but if he can dominate guys like Maidana, Bradley, Peterson, then I think he should get the credit he deserves. As of now the guys he has dominated don't really shout "great" fighter, but we'll see who he fights at the end of this year. A fight with Morales would really get him bashed, just like Maidana was bashed.

I think Bradley beat Khan and if Khan goes up to 147 to fight Ortiz, Ortiz beats him, probably by knock out.

[_original_]

I would honestly pick Maidana to smash Khan's face in a rematch, maybe even Lucas Matty (just bad style match ups for Khan, but he does have the skills and heart to pull off the victory). Bradley is a 50-50 fight IMO

At 147, it's hard to say how he looks and a little unfair. But I would definitely go with Ortiz, Pacquiao, and Floyd to beat him, maybe even Berto at this point.
