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.
