    IMO, he's both - while Khan is both the clear #2 and the second best. :conf

    I wouldn't argue with however Khan and Bradley get ranked. It's pretty clear they're the top two guys so it really boils down to personal preference as a good case can be made for either of them.

    Bradley has the better resume and right now should be ranked no.1 for who he has beat however I think Kahn is better than Bradley and will beat him.

    Provided that it doesn't come against McCloskey :)lol:) Khan's second loss - probably his first on points - will come at Bradley's hands. :good

    Bradley is easily the man at 140. Beating Marcos Maidana doesn't change that.

    Bradley has a better resume, and due to his experience, I think he’s a better all-round fighter too. But if this was to happen in 1-2 years time when Khan has had more time to enhance his skills, I’d pick Khan all day, every day.

    I dunno man.... that's really hard to call.

    Maidana does look like some kind of badass gang member though.

    Nobody can go head to head with Bradley! He's like a ****ing Rhino with that thing!

    Maidana is hilarious. Always looks like he just doesn't care about appearances or decorum. The first few seconds of the Khan/Maidana match were telling -- Khan extends his arm to touch gloves, Maidana looks at him and swings at his head. :lol:

    Khan looks so much taller in the picture with Maidana.

    I'm pretty sure he had height enhancer's in his shoes. I was next to Maidana and he was a lot shorter than Khan, and then you see the weigh-in and the final conference and their both level height. Weird.

    Bradley has beaten the best opponents, but I think Khan whoops him from pillar to post.

    Bradley is #1 right now. We'll see if Khan can take it from him later on this year.

    Based on their career so far? Bradley.

    Based on their last fight? Khan.
