    Bradley will beat Devon easily. Did you see how much trouble Kotelnik gave Devon? He beat Devon. In any other ring, Kotelnik would have got the win. Floyd Mayweather himself said that after the fight.

    How do you favor Devon against Bradley when he had such a tough time with Kotelnik?

    I'll take a bet on that one for sure. Get at me.

    By way of comparison, did you see Khan's fight with Kotelnik? Khan won almost every round.

    I think of all of these guys, Devon Alexander's stock has dropped the most. He just got outboxed by Kotelnik and imo lost that fight down the stretch.

    I can't see him living with Khan at all. His only hope will be the knockout, but I'm not sure he is a big puncher really.

    Bradley has too much fight in him to lose to Alexander. I think Devon gets to the bell, but see him wilting seriously down the stretch.

    His performance against Kotelnik was a real disappointment. He needs a massive improvement to beat Bradley.

    Its not only that the guy seems to improve, with every fight and you see something new to his game. Everytime he fights, i mean i thought he was only goodish when i first saw him. Now i think he's the best Jr Welterweight in the world, and a top 10 P4P fighter. He's improved so much in a short time its incredible.

    In the Junior Witter fight you see his underrated power, in the Kendall Holt fight you see his heart to comeback from 2 knockdowns. And in his most recent fight, you see that can he fight against a bigger man. And fight a smart tecnhical fight for 12 rounds. Just like he did vs Lamont Peterson.

    Honestly i think he beats Amir Khan, i haven't see that much improvement in Amir Khan to be honest. Yes it was a brave performance and ETC. But it hasn't changed my mind on his chances vs someone like Timothy Bradley.

    Agreed, Bilbo although Khan vs. Bradley is tough to call right now.

    Bradley is definitely number 1 right now. Like you say he has serious heart and a will to win. Him and Khan is a massive fight, and could well be the best fight of 2011 imo. Both will get tested and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a rematch or even a trilogy.

    For it's a true 50/50 fight. I'm going to go with King Khan though. This kid is going to get better and better. It still baffles me that people dislike him personally. I find him tremendously endearing. Him and Manny are the only fighters who just make me smile when they talk or walk into the ring.

    I never disliked Amir Khan mate, i just wanted to see him step up. He has finally which is good, and lets hope the trend continues because he's exciting all the way.

    Just side not though, he should stay away from that tramp Jordan.

    I agree Jordan is a right tramp,but still I wouldn't turn her away if she turned up at my hotel. I hope Khan nailed the fuck out of her and showed her no respect. Hopefully the pictures he took on his mobile will turn up on the net soon.

    I wanna see him fight Paul McCloskey, euro champ. I think it would make for a good fight style wise, two speedy fighters that can box well. Neither are really heavy punchers I'd say Khan probably hits harder, McCloskey is slicker though.

    The Khan haters would have a field day if he fought McCloskey. He needs to fight bigger names than that.

    I think Judah is a decent fight, then get ready for Bradley and Marquez.

    Khan haters are gonna hate him no matter what, if you look at the division, MCCloskey is ranked pretty high in some organizations. Besides the fight would be big in U.K.. Unless Khan is just trying to ditch the U.K. boxing scene. I also wouldnt mind seeing Ortiz Vs. Khan, that could be entertaining.

    Yeah Khan is in American now on HBO. He's not going to be fighting any unknown Europeans. Judah, Ortiz, Katsidis, Marquez, Alexander and Bradley. Those will be the sort of opponents from now on.

    Mate are you serious? Khan would do McClosky within 4 rounds, the guy went to hell and back with Lauri and beat Barry Morrison in his last fight!! Morrison is just about in the top 8 at 140 in Britain.

    So he fights Maidana and all of a sudden he's above all these other fighters? Khan record isnt that great man I wouldnt jump to conclusions. Maidana fought Ortiz thats about it, for legit wins for him.

    Haha, but it's better than practically every other 24 year olds resume in the sport.

    Criticising Khan's resume for a 24 year old is as ridiculous as the Manny haters demanding to know where are all the undefeated, young fighters in their prime on his record since moving to welterweight. Yes indeed, where are they! I can only think of Berto, and even according to Manny's hater's he would be an easy fight because he's not ready and overated.

    So it seems Manny can be legitimately criticised for failing to fight potential undefeated prime fighters that don't even actually exist at this time.

    Thus it is with Khan, that wins over Barrera, Malignaggi, Kotelnik and Maidana are not good enough and do nothing to detract from the view that his opponents are handpicked.

    It's funny in their eyes he avoids all of the real challenges, but at the same time doesn't deserve a shot at those who they think would beat him...
