    by the way if Tim Bradley wins the WBC title become vacant, and if Ajose wins it will be Ajose vs McCloksey for the vacant title.

    As Bradley/ Alexander? What odds they award the winner the WBC belt if Bradley wins?

    Bradley 'insulted' the WBC by vacating their title and keeping the WBO :nut

    So is he expecting fees for this fight but not letting him be champion if he wins?

    I know it'll never happen but it would be **** funny if Bradley won and got a fight with Pacquiao or something.

    Wonder what Jose would do then :think

    So Bradley shouldn't get any credit if he beats Alexander because you felt Devon lost to Kotelnik in a close fight, yet you want Khan to be rated #1 in the division since he beat Maidana, a guy that did lose to Kotelnik in a close fight.

    Have I got that right?

    You then bring Maidana's win over Ortiz into it like it was some great achievement while ignoring the fact that Ortiz drew a few weeks back against someone that Bradley completely schooled from start to finish 12 months earlier.

    The rankings dont really matter as long as Khan fights the Alexander-Bradley winner, we will hopefully know come June/July 2011 who is the real No.1 at 140.

    The winner of Desert Storm Bradley versus Alexander the Great will deserve to be ranked as the number 1 fighter at 140 pounds until they meet their nemesis in the shape of the WBC number 1 contender the magnificent Ajose Olusegun.

    Watch the fight on youtube. Maidana won the Kotelnik fight.

    I think Khan should currently stand #1 since his win against Maidana. His victory against Kotelnik has gone up in stock since Kotelnik beat Alexander also. If Bradley beat Alexander, he will be top dog again.

    I admire your consistency. But there's no way that Bradley or Alexander will face Ajose. Sad, but true.

    Once Ajose wins the WBC final eliminator he moves from WBC number 1 contender to become mandatory contender which means the champion is forced to fight him or relinquish the belt. Either way Ajose fights for the title. The WBC title is always a prize worth having unlike the WBO trinket. I agree that they may not want to because frankly if I had a top fighte Ajose would be the last guy I would want him to face because of the 3 strikes being good, being southpaw and black. Same problem Marvin Hagler had who was the best middleweight in the world many years before he won the title.
