So IS Bradley the Man at 140?

Bradley is 'no 1' but only for the time being. Bradley still ducked Khan and will only solidify his spot by beating him. Peterson is No. 2 pending a rematch with Khan. And Khan is number 3. I still think Khan has a chance to beat Bradley and can beat Peterson so he could eventualy become no1 at 140. imo Peterson will never beat Bradley and so will never be highr than no. 2 as long as Bradley and he are in the same division.

 

Bradleys undefeated and has unified twice, he is also a current champion. Holds a win over another unified champ in his division. No one at 140 has near the credentials as that, ducker or not Tim is the man.

 

He's the best fighter in the division, that's all that matters.

 

Yes.

Who else could be?

Peterson? :think

 

Yes

 

Sure looks like it ATM

 

He's #1, yes.

 

Bradley didn't clean out the division, and he stopped fighting the top guys in his division instead seeking "star" status. His early run to get to the top was good though, Witter, Cherry, Holt, Peterson... then a gap, and Alexander. All he really needed to do was beat Khan.

 

Yes he is.

 

For now. If he moves up to 147 next then no.

 

I don't think anyone is. Used to be Khan but no one has done anything to claim it yet. It's there for the taking.

 

You don't get to number 1 by previously beating the person that beat number 1. I think Bradley was the man at 140 while Khan was quickly closing the gap, but Peterson now has probably the best single win on any of their records. I consider him the man at 140 for having the best single win, not Bradley for having beaten him before. The same logic applies to JMM-Pac-Floyd for those that think Marquez beat Pacquiao; Floyd shouldn't get credit as number 1 when Marquez has the best recent win between the 3 just for having lost previously.

 

Yes he is...

 

This.
