Boxing: Bradley/ Khan...who would win?

A) Who would you have said would win 2 years ago?

B) Who would you say would win now?

C) If your opinion changed, why has it?

It's hard to tell who would have won two years ago, seeing Khan today after two unexpected losses. Still, a loss doesn't mean that you can't win other fights. Just look at ALI, Frazier, Norton and Foreman.

.

Two years ago, Khan did all he could do to get Bradley in the ring. This was before there was any hint that Bradley would get a fight with Pacquiao. At that time, I would have picked Khan to win, based on Bradley's punching power, or lack of, and on Khan's reach and speed. However, knowing what we know today, it's a tough fight to call.

.

Today, I'd give a clear edge to Bradley. He lacks Khan's power but he's resourceful enough to survive Khan's power and outwork him. Bradley certainly takes a better punch and that's what it boils down to. I think Bradley wins today and it's very possible that he would have won two years ago as well, given what we know know of Khan.

.

The Provodnikov fight is what makes me believe that Bradley might have won two years ago, where I would have picked Khan. Khan has the tools and abilities and should be able to outbox Bradley. However, he is also more likely to be taken out of his game. There we would see Bradley survive Khan's best.

.

It boils down to a few facts. Bradley takes a better punch. He adjusts to changes better. Khan abandons his fight plan and, therefore, his advantage.

A. Amir Khan

B. Amir Khan

C. No.

Bradley Ducked Khan back in 2011. Bradley is bothered against speed fighters. I feel if you can't hurt Khan you won't out box him. Bradley is feather fisted. He can't punch period. He relies on dirty tactics, a lot of clinching, a lot of moving, throws soft touches.

He's not an agressor.

Bradley can't beat Khan that way. Khan would win by UD. The only people who say otherwise are black or they're some extreme American bias fans.

A- Bradley 115-113

B- Bradley 116-112

A) Khan

B) Bradley

C) the fact Bradley has taken 2 huge scalps (his pacquiao fights was very close and wasn't a robbery, I scored it Pac by 1, but that's not a robbery, just a close fight) whilst Khan has lost to lesser opposition than Bradley has beaten. I never rated Bradley before but he has actually earned a lot of credit now and can box. Would much rather see mayweather Bradley than mayweather Khan.

a. I think Bradley ducked Khan two years ago because he thought he would lose and that would derail his bid for a match versus either Mayweather or Pacquiao. I believe Khan was the better fighter up to that point.

b. Bradley, by close decision in a competitive fight.

c. Bradley has improved with the increased level of opposition he has fought at welterweights ( Pacquiao, Provodnikov, Marquez ) while Khan has declined since his losses to Peterson and Garcia. It showed in his fights versus Molina and Julio Diaz.

A) Khan

B) Khan

C) Hasn't changed. Khan is faster than Bradley and Bradley doesn't have the power to KO Khan, so I'd give Khan the edge.

A) Khan

B) Bradley

C) Bradley vs Provodnikov and Khan vs Garcia

A) Bradley

B) Bradley

C) Khan has turned out to be worse than I thought he was.

Khan

Khan

Toss up

Because Khan looked like sh*t against Julio Diaz.
