    Push him past Khan as the best fighter in the division ?? Now I don't believe in Triangle theory but to me Bradley has more skill.set and is overall the best in the division. What do u think about where Khan should be placed in that division 1-5

    He was always the #1 guy in the division. Khan was overrated from the jump.

    Not for me. Fighting once at 140 pounds in two years and then coming back to fight a shot Casamayor, does not do it for me.

    Well let's be fair, he signed to fight Maidana and Maidana backed out the fight due to " injury" which come to find out wasn't true.

    Yeah, there was no injury. Maidana had some messed up Manager's back then who didn't even consult him about the fight, and signed it.

    Styles make fights A winning against B doesnt necessarily mean he beats C who lost to B.

    What, fighting one of the best and losing a disputable decision is better than winning against a shot fighter?

    No.

    There is no number 1 in the division. They have to fight each other to claim that. While Bradley beat some top guys, there are still guys at 140 he hasn't fought also. To be the king of a weightclass, you have to clean out the weight class like Hopkins and Hagler did.

    To be fair, Peterson was massively underrated due to his loss to Bradley. The guy only has 1 loss and is a tough fight for anyone. I think Bradley forfeited his number 1 status when he let someone else have the pleasure of beating Khan. True champions don't act that way. That's like Ali waiting on Foreman to fight Frazier before fighting him and then say "Foreman KOed Frazier so no need of fighting Frazier" robbing us of a trilogy.
