Who do you think is the best fighter at 140 right now?

heres my top 5
1.Timothy bradley
2.Ortiz
3.Zab Judah
4.Maidana
5.Joan Guzman
I think if Ortiz fights a disciplined fight he can beat Bradley

 

Long-Term Record: Bradley. I think Khan and Alexander both have respectable records for their age as well, though. After Khan beats Maidana, I personally think his record will read better than Bradley's.

Skillset & Physical Assets: Khan. Bradley is all sheer determination and heart (nothing wrong with that, I'll add) and the Kotelnik fight showed us all that Alexander is far from the finished package.

Fanbase & Star Quality: Khan. He is a household name in the UK and is drumming up support across the pond. Alexander has a decent following, but it's obvious that he is still way behind Khan. Bradley can't sell out a 3,000 seater in his back garden. Enough said.

Most underrated fighter at the weight: Kotelnik. Amazing how many after-timers are suddenly giving Khan credit for beating him. Khan's shutout of Kotelnik deserved massive props from day one:deal.

 

khan gets attention over **** hes yet to prove himself

 

Amir Khan is by far the best fighter at 140.

 

where is ortiz?????????????????????????????????????????????

 

Well, I was trying to be as succinct as possible. I'd like to point out that I did vote for Bradley in the poll and in no way was my brief summary a back-handed compliment:good.

What about my other points? Agree or disagree:think?

 

i think ortiz can clean up, ur start to agree with me when he ices kotelnik :toney :good

 

ESB World Rankings at 140lvs

Light-Welterweight (140lbs)
ESB World Champion: (Timothy Bradley vs Devon Alexander for the vacant title January 29th)
1. Timothy Bradley (WBO)
2. Amir Khan (WBA)
3. Devon Alexnader (WBC & IBF)
4. Andreas Kotelnik
5. Marcos Maidana
6. Victor Ortiz
7. Juan Urango
8. Paulie Malagnaggi
9. Zab Judah
10. Kaizer Mabuza
11. Lamont Peterson
12. Paul McCloskey
13. Jo Jo Dan
14. Julio Diaz
15. Lucas Martin Matthysse

 

That fights not happening. Ortiz is fighting Mabuza.

 

On what we have seen , in what i would consider a stacked division where each fighter stylistically poses a serious threat to another fighter anywhere in the top 8 .

For me Alexander

That said we havent seen enough of these fighters actually fighting each other , at the moment we only really have Khan Kotelnik , Ortiz Maidana , Maidana Cayo , Alexander Urango , Alexander Kotelnik , Bradley Peterson and Bradley Abregu (and then there is Maidana's less than flattering outing against Corely who is not relevant top 10) that are relevant fights in trying to establish who's the better fighter out of the current bunch .

Ive got Alexander marginally , we'll know more come next year i suppose .

 

thats a shame

 

I guess thats for the IBF title that Devon is being stripped off.
