    I mean it seems to be a given that Bradley would still be #1, but If Khan wins that means he has beaten

    Maidana
    Mcloskey
    Judah

    in the same time period as bradley eat only one fighter, alexander.

    Imo Khan should be ranked #1 IF he wins in good style

    It's a tough 1. Bradley hadn't really done anything bad to be replaced as number 1. He dominated the number 3 in the division in Devon (even if he wasn't that good). Khan would have the better resume mind.

    So, I really don't no! How about 1A) Bradley 1B) Khan

    I'm no real Khan fan but I think he wins this by KO and yeah, I think he'll deserve to be #1. Bradley will be #2 but that's what you get for lack of activity. Hopefully it'll force Bradley's hand and make the fight happen (ignoring Khan's 'plans' of course).

    Bradley is the best fighter at 140lb. Sadly though it's unlikely we'll see him in the ring this year.

    Yes, after Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Maidana and Judah on his record then Khan would be the best 140 pounder in the world and should be looking to establish an all time legacy at that weight should he wish.

    His situation will be similar to that of Froch’s with Ward.

    He may have a better resume, but he’s not the better fighter. Until he faces and beats Bradley in the ring, I don’t think he can claim to be the number one LWW with full approval from everyone.

    Yes Khan deserves to be number 1 if he beats Judah. I just hope he doesn't fight Morales next.

    Khan would be number 1 for definites, especially after the way Bradley ducked him.

    No, beating Judah would not be enough to dislodge the current number 1, Bradley IMHO.

    Khan has the better resume if he beats Zab without a doubt. Wether he is better then Bradley is another question

    Not for me, that said if he boxes brilliantly and finishes impressively I might look at it differently.

    I like to see fighters beat the top guy to become the top guy.

    You could say the same about Bradley, he won't be number one with full approval from everyone until he beats Khan.
