    Hard to say.

    I think Alexander would beat Khan, Khan would beat Bradley and Bradley would beat Alexander.

    Good post especially coming from a Khan fan. The jury is out until they fight each other.

    This is what's wrong with boxing fans. We think, despite loads and loads of evidence, that we can tell who is better among top tier fighters based on common opponents, and sometimes based on less than that.
    Picking the best based on common opponents never works in any sport, but if there is one sport with volumes of proof that it doesn't work at all, it's boxing.

    Boxing fans need to stop anointing the "greatest" of this or that division, and demand all the top guys fight each other. This attitude is what gives these fighters the excuse not to fight top challengers. As long as everyone just anoints Kahn or anyone else the best, he can just keep fighting guys that are no threat (ala Fraud) look fabulous and never have to face a real challenge because everyone will just be dazzled by how great he looked.

    Stop anointing guys and demand good fights.

    as far as I'm concerned Kotelnik is a better fighter than Devon Alexander and easily showed it last night

    I don't think Khan and Bradley should waste their time with Alexander until he re-establishes himself

    There is no #1 guy at 140 lbs, all these guys need to fight each other instead of coming up with excuses. Bradley can't draw flies to **** yet he won't fight Alexander who is already a bigger draw than him. HBO should cut the BS and DEMAND unification at 140.

    Did Bradley die in a plane crash?

    Khan doesnt make it out of the ring with Maidana alive.

    Maidana beats Khan by demolition

    My guess is the first flush right hand Maidana lands, Khans head explodes.

    Khan would beat Bradley...

    Bradley is just a workrate and stamina guy. He would get boxed pillar to post by Khan.

    Ortiz and Maidana are the only ones left to fulfill my dream of seeing Khan shattered once again......Bradley or Alexander aint doing it. Khans boxing ability is good enough to get him past Bradley or Alexander without much of a problem...

    I can't figure out why so many guys are getting down on Maidana lately. I think the fight last night only enhances his standing consider how he seems to have improved since his fight with Kotelnik.
