    It's Amir Khan.

    I'm not particularly a fan of his, but I think he's get the edge over his rivals in terms of skillset. He's quicker and stronger than Bradley or Alexander. Who in-turn are light years ahead of Ortiz and Maindana.

    I actually think Ortiz, Maidana, Kotelnik, Khan, Alexander and Bradley are not lightyears apart from any other one in the group as a total package until we see more proof otherwise.

    I disagree.

    I think its really only down to 2 fighters now, Khan and Bradley. Winner is the best at 140lbs.

    I think its Bradley and Alexander on top , then maybe Khan is a little better than Ortiz and Maidana.

    I think its between Khan and Bradley, I never really rated Maidana, yeah he has heart and can knock people out but he was schooled by Kotelnic and his chin isnt that good. Alexander hasn't done anything yet bar beat a shot Witter who was never world class anyway imo and that showed last night when he was schooled also by Kotelnic.

    Theres still time for Alexander too improve and i9 aint writing him off after one bad fight but at this time Khan beats him via shut out.

    Ortiz needs more fights before he fights Khan but i think it would be a good fight but Khan would ultimately win.

    So i reckon a big fight between Khan and Bradley will be set up for next year hopefully. At the min I see a close bout with Khan possibly being a little too fast and winning a split or very close points. I still aint completely convinced Bradleys all he's made up to be but recognise he has the skills to be a top fighter

    Alexander and Bradley are still on top. Khan still has a very suspect chin. The rest should get in line.

    someone like Kotelnik went the distance with khan... so does that mean khan is whatever the **** too?

    I'm sure roach likes what he saw in alexander as a possible opponent for khan.

    in actuality... maidana would get sonned trying to chase someone beating him down in the process.... I'm really not on board with this dude.

    ortiz getting banged around and jumping ship with maidana puts him out of the running too.

    I think Alexander had that style matchup that came very close to him being beat with Kotelnik
    nothing more than that. I expect alexander to tighten his game even more now after warring with someone that gave the much praised Khan a close fight.

    gatekeepers got barely squeeked by tonight.

    Bradley vs. Alexander would be a nice win for Alexander... Bradley don't have that defence tight and makes mistakes and leaves himself exposed for alexander...short arms..but technical and resiliant at times under duress..

    kotelnik was like a glen johnson... beat this gatekeeper...even just make it past him and you're good. after two lackluster performances that didn't really dazzle the fans so much and put much faith in them...it seems like bradley vs. alexander is a must now. The winner of this one rocks the studio.

    Khan is sitting real pretty right now. in the backseat of his toothless dads car... jim?

    I still think the tops dogs are Alexander and Bradley, and I still think Alexander will be the last man standing. Last night was just a slight blip. People are reading too much in to it.

    1. Bradley
    2. Alexander
    3. Khan

    I have to say devon Alexander did not impress.

    the real Alexander "the Great" would have koed kotelnik in the early rounds if he was a boxer.

    but one poor preformance should not be the absolute marker for talent. but its clear that bradley is #1 at 140

    I'm kinda sick and tired of speculating about who is the best of these guys. Let these guys ****ing square off already!
