Bradley calls out Khan on Twitter - winner takes all

Id say it's a bit unfair to at least not recognise that maidana is a top puncher in his division. Who would you have ahead of him?

 

So what was your top 10 lww about 12 months ago - if alexander wasn't in it?

 

Well he might well have been in it as the farce against Bradley hadn't happened.

 

Out of curiosity, who would you rank higher at LWW as a puncher?

I'd probably have Matthysse above him, possibly Holt when he decides to play ball.

 

1. Khan
2. Judah
3. Maidana
4. Malignaggi
5. Peterson
6. Kotelnik
7. McCloskey
8. Prescott
9. Olusegun
10. Salita

It's all IMO. I don't rate the other guys he's fought

 

No Bradley?

 

That’s retrospective and could easily be applied to Khan’s opponents: Malignaggi had lost to every top opponent he faced, Maidana got run close by an old, small Morales, and Judah had lost every time he stepped up in competition. In fact, many felt he lost to Matthysse in the fight before he claimed the IBF belt (which should have been Bradley’s by the way).

You can’t discredit one set of opponents and ignore the flaws of the other set. That’s called bias. I don’t care if it’s your opinion. It’s demonstrably wrong and ill-informed. Only informed opinions are valid.

 

Try naming a realistic top 10 from the time he fought any of them without them in. Obviously other than Casamayor.

 

He won’t and he can’t. To say something as thick as “I don’t rate any of his opponents” pretty much exposes his ignorance and/or his agenda.

 

Nah. I did have him number 1 but because he wouldn't fight Khan he's dropped to 15th on my rankings.

 

Nice save.

If you can't even stop DeMarcus Corley, how can you claim to be a ''devastating'' puncher? Even after his shocking performance against a beyond shot Chop Chop people were still talking about him as the second coming of Julian Jackson. Mathysse made the same effort Maidana did and still dropped him nine times(granted, about 4/5 probably shouldn't have counted)!

Maidana's more of a heavy-handed accumilation puncher for me, a guy like Holt actually knocks guys spark out, as he's demonstrated many a time. Mathysse probably hits harder going off their common opponent, the fact that he can be so pedestrian is his main problem I think, he really should've had both Judah and Alexander out of there but took his foot off the gas. Hell, a somewhat viable case could even be made for Judah too, though that's probably stretching it at this juncture.
