    bradley has little power, he won't wobble amir. amir has just as good stamina as bradley, is much more polished, hits much harder, and has more balls. bradley doesn't even know how to fight at long range and on top of that, is much smaller, while khan is a very capable fighter form the outside

    with a bit more experience, i think the dude can even beat mayweather and pacquiao, although he shouldn't be a favorite on any of those fights

      I think the question should be the other way around.

      Khan would use his reach and jab to keep the smaller Bradley at a distance. I can see Bradley getting wild and rushing in only to get caught with quick combos before Khan uses his foot speed to move away. I think it'll be a pattern until the final round, or unless Khan knocks out Bradley. It all depends on how many chances Khan is willing to take.

      Bradley has decent power, but not enough to make Khan uncomfortable like Maidana was able to.

      I really can't see Bradley winning this fight.

        I like Bradley in this matchup. Khan will probably be ahead on points early to mid-fight, but Desert Storm will be all over him every minute of every round and I think at some point midway through the fight Khan will fold mentally and go into survival mode. Bradley wins every round from that point on for the clear UD or maybe a late stoppage which would be not so much a knock out as a wear-out.

          I'm a huge fan of Bradley, but yes, Khan has a very good chance. Khan has the reach and height, but the question is, does he have the intangibles that it would take to beat Tim? I can invision Amir winning the early rounds by throwing a lot of combos and running. But by round 6, I can't imagine him still on his bicycle throwing effective punches. Bradley is a slick enough fighter to avoid most of Amir's heavy arsonal. He is also good at putting constant pressure on his opponent. I see Tim breaking him down slowly by ****ing the body.By round 10, Amir will try to get aggressive and come forward like Peterson did in his fight with Bradley. But in the same manner, it will work to Tim's advantage as he counters Amir with solid 2 and 3 punch combos. I think Tim wins an exciting hard fought split decision.

          Now that in my opinion takes place at 140. I don't think it would be wise for Tim to fight Amir at 147. I think the results would be different.

              Yes,he has height speed and a decent ring I.Q.I give Khan a good shot at beating Bradley...I also won't be surprised if he is favored...

                bradley is not a heavy puncher, Khan will beat Tim by wide margin probabably even by ko/tko ...

                  Looked really good? Based on that performance I would say a prime casa would ud Bradley, he couldnt miss him with the left, and he was in no kind of shape. I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not...I hope so for your sake, or seriously have to question your knowledge on this.

                    Did Tim Bradley suddenly become a young Roberto Duran or Sugar Ray Leonard?

                    Bradley vs. Khan is a good matchup that should've already happened.

                      Bradley/Khan is a pick em fight. If Paulie was able to get off on Khan you better believe Bradley will get his shots in as well. Bradley's only flaw besides his rough house tactics is his lack of KO power but he seems to get stronger in the middle to late stages of his fights which he will definitely need as Khan is a fast starter and can pile up the points early maybe even score a flash knockdown or crushing body shot.
