    Would Bradley stand any chance against Khan?

    We know Bradley openly ducked Khan already at 140 because he said (and I quote) "what if I lose the fight to Khan, i'm out of the Pacquiao/Mayweather sweepstakes". He was already outwardly fearful of losing to Khan in the lower division. Would he have any chance of beating Khan at 147, would it be a close fight that could go either way, or would Khan destroy Bradley like Bradley himself predicted?

    Khan's speed and Bradley's lack of punching power - those two factors combined could result in a dominant performance by Khan. Bradley is a decent boxer but he's arguably lost twice now - to Pacquiao and Ruslan. The one intangible at this stage is how Khan would perform at 147 but assuming he adapts to the weight effectively, he'd probably be very difficult for Bradley to compete against.

      I think the question is ''Would Khan stand any chance against Bradley?'' & the answer to that question is probably not.

        I think Khan matches up better against Bradley then people might want to admit or think.
        Khan has his flaws, but I've always liked his chances against Tim, I'm not saying he would definitely win, but he's long, fast but not as well rounded as Tim, but i'm not sure Tim can hurt him that much. Khan is in trouble when he gets stunned by a hard shot, he doesnt recover too well, Im not sure Bradley is that guy. He could be, but I would take my chances and think Khan could rebound really well against Tim.

        Bradley didn't want the fight and was happy to swerve it, he didn't fancy his chances, but he might now...who knows? All i know is Top Rank and GBP won't match them, so it's stuck in the fantasy fight section

            Why would Bradley waste his time with Khan when he got offered a fight with Cassamayor for around a million dollars and a guaranteed shot at Pac providing he beat Cassa?

            Khan didn't even have a belt at that time, he was coming off a loss to Peterson.

              Of course he would stand a chance against Khan and it would probably be a close fight.

              I don't think Bradley has the pop to trouble Khan, but may be able to maul his way to a decision.

              However, I think Khan would be the slight favourite in this match-up. He has the right amount of speed, power, and movement to cause Bradley a lot of problems.

              It's a close fight like it's always been!

                I don't agree here. Now while I do believe khan loses to Bradley 10 out of 10 times, he did call him out & went elsewhere. IMHO I also think that Bradley signed with arum at the worse possible time & even though he did get to fight Pacman & the payday that comes along, his career has suffered overall.

                    I usually defend Bradley, but I'm not so sure he'd win against Khan.

                    Speed would trouble him, he has a better inside game than Khan, but less of a pop.

                    It'd be an interesting fight, 50/50 in my opinion.
