    When Khan beat Kitelnik, he was not as highly regarded as Devon Alexander was when Kotelnik 'lost' to him (still proving his worth as a fighter)

    In turn, that elevates Khans win from decent to very good. Whilst the choice of opponent in Paulie was amongst the most blatantly calculated 'name on the resume' fights I've seen in ages.

    The fact all these fighters have performed at different levels against all the best in their division (accumlatively) none has really cemented their dominance over their division. At the moment I think Bradley is the stand out. In terms of skillset I think he appears the most well-rounded within his application, he's beaten some good top 10 fighters and his wins over Witter and Holt were very impressive at the time, and still prove Bradley as a formidable fighter.

    But the fact it's so hard for me to try and figure out how to rank them at tw present time is an indicator of a few things: the divisions hot, there's a lot of good fighters in it, and MORE FIGHTS BETWEEN THE TOP 6 NEED TO BE MADE :deal

    Probably would be a good idea for Rees and Murray to stay at Lightweight :yep

    He looked really good in beating the underrated Ben Murphy on points earlier this year and followed it up by beating the over-matched Ben Lawler. He had promotional problems with Hayemaker after Setanta collapsed, but Maloney signed him up and now he is boxing more regularly again.

    As for Murray vs Rees, I think Murray wins a close but clear decision.

    Rees vs. Nigel Wright would be a great scrap, Murray should focus on his Euro defence

    It was a case of walk out or be forced into retirement.

    i think kotelnik vs murray would be a tear up, from the fights iv seen of kotelnik no 1 has ever worked his body and murray is a good inside fighter would be a interesting match

    a very good fight, both have good points that could lead to victory over the other, though at this time neither of them should fight the top 3 contenders, or i feel they would come up short of whats needed to win.

    Rees doesn't have the poke to deter Murray
    A Murray TKO late on

    He was out worked and outtoughed by an ice cream man so I think Rees would have more than enough poke.

    Just out of intrest, why do you look at my profile every couple of days? I see on my profile every couple of days it says you have just visited my profile? I don't mind the odd time but when you check up on me every couple of days I kind of find it strange. I don't wish to sound rude but please stop it. You need to adress your obsession with me, it's very unhealthy. You must have a very boring life if you spend so much of your time stalking someone who you had a disagreement with on an internet forum. And you don't even have anything to say. You just seem to enjoy following me. Very strange.:blood
