Steve Bunce: Bradley too good for Amir Khan

By Liam Santiago: Legendry boxing pundit Steve Bunce has said on his weekly William Hill Boxing Podcast that WBO light welterweight king, Timothy Bradley has far too much for King Amir Khan. Bunce believes Khan would lose to Bradley and would advise him to fight the likes of Paulie Malignaggi instead. Bunce said, ”My gut feeling is Bradley is too sharp and too dangerous for Khan”.

Bunce went on to say, ”He (Bradley) is too good a fighter. What you do is, you can step up against someone who is coming up from another weight division who is maybe a faded name like Nate Campbell or Marquez. The idea is you step up without taking a risk, otherwise he would have stayed at lightweight and fought Edwin Valero. The Tim Bradley fight, right now, makes no sense. Khan is not big enough in America. That’s the bottom line. If we were not in a business, Ajose Olusegun would be fighting Amir Khan for the WBA title, Olusegun being the former British champion, who has been waiting for a WBC eliminator for far too long. If we were not in a business then Amir Khan would have had to have fought John Murray for the British lightweight title”.

Better words never said. Khan can not beat Bradley. Bradley is faster than Khan, stronger than Khan, slicker than Khan and he has a much better defence than King Khan. Although I would give Khan huge credit if he takes the fight. However, I very much doubt he will.

    Its official Buncy has finally lost his marbles! Faster then Khan?? Whos he been watching? I think right now the fight doesnt make much sense, Bradley is in his prime wheras Khan needs some world level experience. Nevertheless in a couple of years when khan matures and gets the experience needed e will no doubt destroy Bradley who has a questionable chin himself. Please me Santiago, if Khan and Bradley were to meet and khan win will you go out on a limb like you did with pac-cotto and say you will never write again? Maybe thats the only way us boxing fans can get rid and aviod the complete and utter rubbish you seem to write on a weekly basis. Like seriously why are you still writing, in case you havent noticed the paqman destroyed cotto!!

  • Ateeq says:

    khan has more KO’s than bradely and more bigger and taller, so khan has all the advantages. this writer is talking nonsense. people are saying khan will not fight bradely then why is the most likely nest fight, khan is no push over. under roach and saprring with pacquio, khan is untouchable and a reason why he is a dangerous would champion. bradely would get the salita treatment, and amen to that!

  • angel says:

    bunce is very two faced and would never say that to khans face but it is true, he’s not good enough and and i dont think he ever will be.
    all of you saying ‘give the kid a break, he’s only 23′ are being conned. he hasnt been a kid for some time now and age will only slow him down as the only thing he has going for him is handspeed then he’s not going to improve much.
    his style of frantic punching and running will ruin him in with a real contender. he will be demolished by bradley and maidana.
    if you disagree then lets see him fight them now not in two years time. all talk and no action thats king khant for you.
    if he isnt going to fight them you cant say khan is great or the best because so far all he’s proved is that he is a fraud exposed by prescott who was a nobody and is running scared from maidana

  • SpeedKills says:

    Totally agree with Scoopz, Bradley is in most people’s top 5 pound4pound and khan should have one maybe two more fights and malingaggi, alexander/ maidana who he will have to fight in this tournament are no jokes….

  • SpeedKills says:

    what the…. i post decent inteligent comments and they get removed yet all those gunning amir khan are posted, whats going on

  • Morales says:

    Legendry boxing pundit Steve Bunce thinks Bradley is faster than Khan, I can see why he is legendry, like when he said Barrera is gonna beat Khan, spot on mate. Roach says Khan can take Pacquiaos strongest punches but what does he know, hes not legendry. LOL.

  • Oli says:

    absolutly wont fight bradley next. That would be a guarenteed loss.

    And lets stop all this talk of khans speed! Its okay having speed but if you dont have power and u flurries like a girl then so what

  • Maza says:

    lol
    bradley faster than khan.
    better fighter.okay.
    but faster.
    hahahahah

  • Adam says:

    I’m not saying Khan would win but it is just nonsense to say TB is faster than Khan

  • stephen a says:

    khan 2 win by ko

  • Boxing-Fan says:

    WTF is this about TB being faster then AK?
    like f*k he his…Khan has the upper edge in speed defo..
    Khan would win on points if he fiught TB..

  • mstack says:

    Faster than Khan????
    JOKE!
    Khan is taller than Bradley, has a reach advantage, and has more speed than him (obviously
    That is exactley why Khan would win…

  • Zishan says:

    Kenny, theres no need to be racist here, is there? Bradley is faster but i still think khan would win it on points.

  • Anonymous says:

    Amir Con is a fraud and a coward. He only fights fading boxing legends. Amir Con would never step into the ring with someone young and great because he know that he is just going to get knocked out again. That is why he ducked Marcos Maidana.

  • scoopz says:

    would be a very good fight and a fight that wud make headlines and put one of these two names into the bright lights whcih they desearve i hope it happens although i would like to see amir fight a top quality challenger first maybe juan urango and show he is the real deal before taking on a very talented bradley

  • mark fletcher says:

    Its tough to call but Bradley has fought some names which Khan hasnt and experience can count for alot at world level, but for me the one too watch is Devon Alexander, he has more power than both and I think his workrate would be too much for alot in the division.

  • CS1 says:

    khan will win

  • jamie says:

    i completly agree. bradley has far to much for Khan

  • Eric says:

    Bradley’s slower than Khan, same power, much slicker but noway does he have a better defence. Bunce thought that Barrera would beat Khan, but he didn’t. He is a pundit, not a psychic.

  • Kenny says:

    rossa, shut ur mouth…Khan cant fight on the inside and bradley is 20 times faster than the curry muncher………..

  • rozza says:

    hes not faster than khan!!! khan throws 5 punches a second… no way does bradley… khan would beat him from the outside and maybe score a ko cus bradley is known for going down.. if bradley can get on the inside then he could cause khan lots of troubles. id have it as a close fight though… your talking bollocks!!!!

  • Joe says:

    Its gonna be Malignaggi N Campbell or Marquez 4 sure

    Would be amazed if he fought Bradley
