Alexander - Top 5 ranked. Current top 5 ranked.

NONE of Bradley's opponents have done a single thing since he beat them. In fact most have REGRESSED. Witter and Campbell have lost to "journeymen," Holt got stopped by Mabuza, Peterson got a "lucky" draw against Ortiz and Alexander has a controversial decision over Matthysse. On a formline through Witter, Alexander is Bradley's best opponent (considering Alexander beat Witter too). However, Alexander has a controversial win over Kotelnik, a man Khan pitched a shutout against.

Khan's form
Kotelnik - Top 10 ranked. Current top 10 ranked.
Malignaggi - Top 10 ranked. Moved divisions.
Maidana - Top 5 ranked. Current top 5 ranked.
McCloskey - Top 10 ranked. Current unranked.
Judah - Top 10 ranked. Current top 10 ranked.

Should Bradley still be no.1? Discuss......
It's close still. Quick question: wasn't Nate Campbell a top 5 or 10 ranked junior welterweight when he fought Bradley? I think it boils down to how highly you ranked Judah. Prior to this fight, I would say Bradley takes it. Now, I would probably say it's a draw or Khan barely edges it. I always thought people were overrating Judah a bit. I thought he'd lose against the top guys in the division, and I thought he lost against Matthysse. But, I think the Maidana win may be the best win of the bunch. Probably Khan edges it.

I hope Khan stays at junior welterweight for a Bradley fight, but I completely understand if he moves on. Truthfully, I think he has the potential to dominate the junior welterweight division and that there are enough other fights for him to make there - Matthysse, Guerrero, win or lose if it is close, Marquez after Pacquiao, Soto if Soto decides to fight a live body. He's young enough to dominate the division for a couple of years and then move up. I guess the enticement of a Mayweather fight is enough to make him think about jumping up.
