Bradley's crisp and accurate punches against Manny's defence at least places him in the fight.Pacquiao has not fought a guy under 30 since Cotto.His last fight was a decision over 38 year old Juan Manuel Marquez,Bradley being 28 the ring damage is not yet done so he may just give him some trouble.If he can stick and move and wear down the body it could be a good fight.If Bradley were to win,or even test Pacquiao i can see debate on his skills starting to decline

Anyone see the Donaire fight on Saturday - in what world was that a split decision?

I'll be honest, I think Bradley will be overwhelmed by the volume of punches and stopped in the mid-rounds. He's an unknown quantity at 147

Tell me about it - I think the one judge was impressed because no one's ever put a mark on Donaire's face before, and that guy managed to give him a shiner? Still baffling, he pretty much dominated the dude, though he DID eat more shots than I've seen in the past...

[binnie]

True. But it was no way a SD.

Donaire is a remarkable talent. But the higher up in weight he goes, the harder it's gonna get.

19th may khan vs Peterson re match .. Las Vegas venue .. Khan
Just tweeted

[binnie]

Khan will win the rematch (although part of me would like Peterson to knock the whinny bitch out). He'll move more - jab and move, jab and move. Until the mid rounds, when Peterson is drained.

I will second that.I would love to see Peterson land a lucky shot right on the button and leave Mr glass jaw seeing stars though.I hate that little prick,Still think he is all hype

[binnie]

I think he has some remarkable assets. He learns well, he's incredibly fast, has a good workrate, and will fight pretty much anybody.

What Peterson - who is by no means top flight - exposed, however, were some fundamental defensive flaws. Can Khan rectify those? We'll see...

fundamental defensive flaws are my problem with him.He is fast and will fight most anyone and i respect that,But i still see him as a pro puncher not a pro boxer

[binnie]

That's a nice distinction.

It's a shame that the Bradley fight never came off for him, though. If he'd beaten Bradley, and then redeemed himself with Peterson, that would make him the man at 140. That's quite impressive (I'm assuming here that Juan Manuel Marquez is no longer at 140).

I think khan will really bring it to this one.As we have established he is willing to work and does have some really good tools.Could be like Roy Jones knocking out Montell Griffin in one round after he got the DQ.I still hope he gets beat though

[vandeleur]

I think khan will do a job on peterson , i think he learnt his lesson last time and will drop the bomb early
I rate khan tho i got to admit he got on my tits abit moaning and whinging over the last fight ...
I think he could be a top fighter , i dont think he has a glass jaw as such .. the prescott fight was a total mismatch rubio his trainer lost his job over it khan was still learning his trade and he put him in with a much bigger knock out merchant .
I do concede he is easy to hit but he took a couple of decent punches against maidana.
The thing is he was a good champion but apart from not seeing the peterson result i didnt know were he would go after that , the problem was/is he was bulking up and would have ended up at147 and the air is to rich up there for him IMHO

Note: if you ever compare Amir Khan to Roy Jones again you will be able to hear me scream 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...' from the other side of the globe.

Yeah, Khan is no Roy Jones, that's for sure...
