    Official means more than unofficial. Even though many people didn't think Bradley won the fight, he'll still go down in the record books as having beaten Pacquiao and he'll make way more money from now on too. And Pacquiao brought it on himself by taking breathers the whole time rather than trying to kill Bradley off.

    I'm assuming you were just trolling when you made your poll, but I think Bradley beats Khan anyway. Peterson exposed Khan's lack of toughness and heart, which are two of Bradley's strongest characteristics. Think about it. Let it sink in. It'll make sense.

      Peterson really exposed Khan's non existant in fighting skills. I was shocked at how poor he was when being pressured. That was the main thing I learned from that fight but of course Fix likes the believe in the Team Khan fairy tale about judges,refs and a man in a hat and later the PEDs to excuse everything. The PEDs may explain why Peterson could fight at high tempo but not Khan's shocking performance.

        Exactly.

        And Bradley beat Pacquiao.

          Kahn beats Tim, no question, but doesn't clown him like Manny did.
          I'd be rooting for Bradley against Kahn though.

            Styles make fights khan wins if he keeps it on the outside with his height. Bradley wins if he gets inside and works the body and follows with the overhand right.

            So the answer is I don't know I just hope it gets made.

              Khan's inside skills can be improved but so can many other fighters. He's already known for two severe body shots which were thrown as inside power shots. Maidana in the first round of their fight, and the second which knocked out Zab Judah. If Khan was as bad an inside fighter as you claim, he wouldn't have been able to land those notable power shots to the body.

              Peterson used steroids and was able to spoil much of Khan's work by regularly charging. He could do that because he was using illegal drugs, that's what you keep forgetting. Without Peterson on steroids, Khan's inside work would have looked a lot more like normal in that fight and we wouldn't be having this debate.

              You ignore all the examples of Khan doing good work on the inside and use a single fight (where the fighter openly admitted he was using steroids) to claim Khan doesn't have any inside skills at all. He has inside skills, they could be improved sure, but he already proved he can be effective with them against Maidana and Judah.

                I'm not saying Khan's a better fighter than Pacquiao. It's just a case of styles makes fights. Does Khan have the style to dominate Bradley for the full 12 rounds?

                The one thing that's still uncertain is how Khan will perform at 147. We saw that Bradley proved to be a C or B- class fighter at the weight when he fought both Pac and Abregu.

                There's a chance Khan looks bad too, but I think it's unlikely because of his size, he seems more naturally suited to the weight while Bradley looks like he's unnaturally pumped up. I know Bradley fought at even higher weights before but that was only possible due to putting on unproductive amounts of muscle.

                So there's a good chance Khan will completely outclass Bradley for all 12 rounds in a 147 fight. His style could prevent Bradley from doing hardly anything in the fight. He might make Bradley look like McCloskey, Malignaggi or Judah. And Bradley's lack of punching power means he'll probably pose virtually no threat to Khan in terms of offense.

                I think there's even a chance that the fight could turn out to be a mismatch at this stage. What do you think, is it even a competitive match up anymore?

                I'm taking this thread as some sort of a bait thread but in any case, Bradley roughs Khan up, counters him, out jabs him, blocks all his shots and wins a unanimous decision against him. Khan might even quit on his stool and attempts to have the fight stopped by crying and complaining to the ref in the latter rounds.

                  Khan would do the exact same thing Pac did.
                  Also if you still think Bradley won that fight, you're an idiot.

                      Correction: Peterson on steroids made the fight more difficult for Khan than it normally would have been. Bradley won't be on steroids and won't be able to do what Peterson did. Take a little time to absorb into your mind. It might take a while but with a little bit of effort you'll get there in the end.
