Khan Ranked No.1 at 140 NOT Bradley. Fact.

[Fenster]

Is Bradley's form superior to Khan's?

Bradley form
Witter - Top 5 ranked (when Bradley beat him). Currently unranked.
Holt - Top 10 ranked. Currently unranked.
Campbell - Unranked. Currently unranked.
Peterson - Top 10 ranked. Current top 10 ranked.
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......

Fellow mods. I'm going to ban Fenster.

Khan should be ranked no.1 at 140, no doubt about it. Bradley is right after him at two. The thing is i can't call any of them 'CHAMPION'. Bradley's best win is Alexander (the man who likes to jab in the air and gloves while screaming was previously beaten by Kotelnik and then lost to Mathyse). Khan should give Maidana a rematch cuz that fight was very close and Amir was almost stopped.

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.

I agree, Bradley is inactive and I dont think he has the power to bother Khan. I think Khan beats him up to win a UD or late TKO.

Khan No.1 at 140. FACT!

[marbleheadmaui]

I just checked Ring to make sure something hadn't changed over the weekend. Be interesting to see their view this week.

Wouldn't be at all suprising to see Kahn move to #1 based, as much as anything, on Bradley's inactivity.

[Fenster]

Shut it missy. Khan and Pac are the only two fighers to ever beat the real living shit out of the legenfd Barrera. Fact.

Poor Marco put up a good fight though/; Not so gpood agaisnt Khan.

[Spicoli]

Zab's been passed around more than a warm bottle of cheap dime store wine in back of a soup kitchen. I would have still liked to see what happened if he actually landed a punch on Khan though

shame khan has to keep cheating his way to victory by headbutting them

Bradley could hurt Khan, he hits hard enough to have earned better beards' respect. I am not sure he can stop Khan with his power, but you don't need to stop someone to beat them. Winky Wright and Floyd Mayweather didn't stop guys, but you didn't see guys walking through their punches.

[Kev]

I think any ranking between them is splitting hairs really. They are clearly the two best fighters in the division, I'd have them both equal first with Maidana third.

No doubt Khan has done more lately though.

[armyash]

Khan needs to forget Mayweather for now, there are still fights at 140 that need to happen. Mayweather would school him at this moment in time. The only risk for Mayweather is getting old and rusty because of inactivity.

The Bradley fight must happen and also i believe he has to fight the winner of Guerrero v Maidana.

[Ant Live]

This is what should happen . . .

Zab vs Bradley on the undercard of Pacman vs JMM 3
or
on the same card of
Khan vs Brook or Morales

BTW, Khan is #1

I'm so glad Khan said Bradley is not on the list as the next opponent. Forcing Bradley to go get a fight.
Soto or Alexander.

Interesting. I wasn't aware Bradley had ruined that many fighters.

[Master]

Bradley should be classed as number 1 because he has earned the right by fighting the best and taking on all comers. He has stalled a bit because of contractual issues and certainly wants a shot at Manny Pacquia. Amir needs to defeat Bradley to be considered the best at the weight but how long should he wait and how can he force the man to enter the ring with him, if Bradley does not want it, before it is recognised that Amir should be the rightly number 1? Both fighters should forget about Manny and Floyd and fight one another. Bradley is certainly using Khan as a backup should he fail against Pacquia.
