    Khan has heart for days....sometimes. You never know with him, Peterson had him literally running away a good portion of the night. He fights back though when he gets knocked down, doesn't tie up, but when he gets tired and sloppy he tries running. I am not a fan really, but I respect it.

    However, I cannot possibly see how anyone other than team Khan picking him to win against Bradley. Bradley went 12 with Pacman and was competitive, he had a war with one of the best kept secrets in Provodnikov, makes a very good fighter who was way quicker than him(similar handspeed to Khan) quit with Alexander. Khan went life and death with Diaz, lost the 2 before than, got mangled in under a minute by Prescott(who I also think is pretty good though in fairness, until he gasses).

    Bradley is way too much for Khan.

      It will come down to who implements their gameplan the best. Tim is very short and has a 2 inch reach disadvantage. Khan is faster and has more power. Better jab and moves better.
      Tim is a very good basic fighter, with a lot of heart and balls and he's unbeaten. He's good on the inside and that could give Khan some problems. But Tim just isn't that powerful.

      I give the edge to Khan at this moment in time. Though I feel he needs to stick to the in-and-out game plan that he perfected against Judah. That Khan would beat any version of Bradley imo. But is that Khan still there? I'm not so sure.

        I always laugh when I see people rave about Khans jab..Like Alexander he does not use it right,Bradley has a better jab then Khan..Bradley is a better fighter period then Khan..

          Khan has massive flaws and whilst im not as big a fan of Bradley as Mathed or Rome, I do like him and know just how good he really is. Khan vs Bradley would be a hell of a fight and I wouldnt be so quick to write Khan off in this fight like I would be if It was against Matthysse for example.

          I think Khan stands a very good chance against Bradley. I know Bradley is by far the more rounded and better fighter, but Khan with his length and speed would keep Bradley pretty honest I think. I think it would be a real belter of a fight, I really do

            That is how I see it. I see Khan doing potentially well against both Alexander and Bradley. Bradley is short and does not hit hard and although skilled it is short and Khan does well against shorter fighters. Whatever happens in those fights I see him looking better than Matthyse and Garcia fights where I just see him getting KOd.

              Bradley is a much better fighter. I thought Pacquiao beat Bradley but other than that Bradley has been winning good. Khan has been losing bad.

He gets rocked all the time, but I've never seen him quit on his stool. He gets back up and continues to ****. I think it's a ****** move to do that, but he's got some balls. Which is why I'm kind of intrigued by Khan vs Bradley fight. Bradley isn't someone who has power and Khan isn't someone who has chin. But they both have heart. I can actually see this going 12 rounds of war. Not a fan of Khan, nor Bradley but this fight has potential.

                I'll probably give it to Bradley at the end.
                Bradley, no contest...he has the most heart out of almost anyone I've seen in the ring.

                  Khan has a better chance of KOing Bradley than Bradley does of KOing Khan....

                  Khan's chin is bad, but Timothy Bradley? Come on..

                  If you can't KO Khan, itll be a tough fight

                    Sure Khan has been in muddy waters recently. Did you miss the Provodnikov fight though? Where there was a legitimate argument for Bradley losing? I don't think you could argue Diaz won against Khan.

                    All these silly fight comparisons. I dunno who'd win, but it disappoints me that theres posts saying Bradley will KO Khan, and that Bradley has been on some great winning streak recently. Pretty sure there's some sort of prejudice against Khan or love for Bradley that influences such posts

                      Bradley took some shots from Provodnikov that would've decapitated Khan let's be honest. He has a better chin that people are giving him credit for. I'll pick Bradley by close points decision. Hell, even Bradley would probably KO Khan.
