Timothy Bradley has offered a damning evaluation of Amir Khan's talents, saying he "can't adjust" to difficult circumstances in the ring.

Bradley, who holds two of the three major belts at light-welterweight, is looking to take charge of the division by battling Khan later this year.

Both fighters proved their quality in their most recent clashes - Bradley ended Devon Alexander's unbeaten record, while Khan survived a brutal war against hard-hitting Marcos Maidana.

Bradley has suggested that Khan was lucky to come through the Maidana fight, having absorbed a lot of punishment during a dramatic tenth round - and the American is taking heart from his rival's struggles.

"My game plan is to take it to him [Amir Khan], period," Bradley told the On the Ropes radio show. "He's one-dimensional. Amir makes the same mistakes all the time and the thing is, he can't adjust.

"I mean he couldn't even stop Maidana's uppercut and Maidana kept landing it all night long."

Before he can turn his attention to Bradley, Khan must come through a WBA title defence against the unbeaten Ulsterman Paul McCloskey, who he fights on April 16 in Manchester.
