      I'm definitely not a fan of Khan but really how is this argument still going about Bradley's power? Having some 'pop' is not the same as knockout power, and Bradley simply doesn't have pure knockout power, his record will tell you as much. Bradley can definitely outbox Khan and this would be his best way to win the fight. The boxers who beat Khan by stoppage have far superior power to Bradley, and others like Maidana also went the full 12 with Khan, albeit when Khan was a lot better.

      There can't really be an argument, Bradley is the superior boxer and athlete IMO and this would win him the fight, he is not a power puncher and from a neutral point of view it would be hugely surprising if Khan was stopped by him.

          He cherry-picked three undefeated fighters in a row. Peterson, Alexander, and Abregu were TOTAL cherry-picks!

            I can't rule out a KO..The punches that turned Khans lights out both times were shots he did not see coming..Bradley has a good chance of landing that kinda shot..Hurting and dropping Khan..Don't know about stopping Khan..He does have heart..Dropping him and getting a TKO is not out of the question imo tho..

                i know bradley beat abregu at 147, but thats aint serious enough to warrant a fite with pac if thats the standard (one fite) and also he went back to 140 and the reason why Bradley's duck is shameful is cuz at the time there was an unofficial 4 man 140lbs tourney: khan vs maid, brad vs dev and winner is the real man at 140lbs all was going well until.....

                victor ortiz never had a fite at ww yet was blessed with a wbc title shot vs berto is an example fiters with star power getting ahead of the queue whether you/me like it or not as merit isnt everything in pro boxing.

                Khan can sell and Canelo has the most pathetic resume (behind chavez jr) considering the hype he gets yet he had one win over Trout and was handed Mayweather shot. Why? $$$. Garcia and maidana's fanbase combined aint big as khan. How? social media is a fair assessment with Khan 1 million fans on twitter n f.b. Even if 300 k ppl are buying just for khan thats not bad. Point being its not as bad as ppl are crying and making it out to be.

                You mentioned 3 losses for Khan. Next time a fiter losses to a roided fiter im assuming you will not complain about it?

                  It's definitely not beyond the realms of possibility for Bradley to drop him, knowing Khan's chin...but stopping him, I just don't see it, for sure 1 shot can catch you when you don't see it and be a flash knockdown, but Bradley is simply not hammer fisted and I don't see him closing the show. Bradley UD.

                    Numbers don't validate a title shot. Just a big pay day....
