    :lol: Agreed.

    Pacquiao Vs Mayweather
    Haye Vs Klitschko
    Bradley Vs Alexander

    These are three bouts which I expect to take a lot of time to happen, if not, then never.

    gotta have Alexander above Kahn, Alexander beat Witter and Urango, Kahn has Kotelnik and an early KO loss to Prescott at a lower weight.

    I would even have Maidana ahead of Kahn. He has Cayo and Ortiz and a close loss to Kotelnik, very close.

    Kahn easily beat Kotelnik and Malignaggi but for me at least, that early KO loss still looms large.

    This isn't to say that Kahn won't beat Bradley, Alexander and Maidana just that based on performance and resume up until this point I think Alexander and Bradley are clearly ahead and Maidana possibly, its close.

    He's right,Bradley and Alexander are 2 levels ahead of Khan,it would be stupid for them to face each other now.

    the way I see it, Bradley and Alexander need to prove who is the best American JrWW.

    You don't conquer the world when you haven't even conquered your own country.

    Did you read the quote you posted? He wants to beat the other guys and then fight Alexander, according to Shaw. Comprehension skills are at an all time low, it seems :lol:

    Shaw: "Why should two americans fight each other?"

    What the hell do you mean? The top guys are taking three fights a year, and almost exclusively fighting top 10 fighters. They're cleaning out the division.

    I can understand the concern, but I do agree that Shaw just doesn't want Bradley in there with Alexander quite yet. He knows that Alexander isn't a great style matchup for Bradley, and there's more money to be made by fighting other guys first. But I do think they'll fight each other either way. If there's one thing Gary Shaw doesn't tend to do, it's overprotect his fighters. Shaw tends to be much more aggressive with his matchmaking than most of the other major promoters.

    Why give an inferior fighter like Khan the luxury to fight the last man standing at 140.
    Let him fight at least 2 top guys at 140 if he wants to become the lineal champ.

    Why does everything have to revolve around Khan? Bradley is ranked #1, Alexander is ranked #2. #1 and #2 should fight.

    The fact that people don't want Bradley and Alexander to fight each other because there is the potential that it could possibly benefit Khan just shows how much people are more Khan haters than anything else.

    If Khan is an inferior fighter as you said, then he won't beat the loser of Bradley vs Alexander, much less the winner. Its a non-factor.
