    Ok devon Alexander and Tim Bradley are good fighters. In any other era or time they would be contenders and not champions. Maidana although exciting to watch and all heart and power lacks skill. Khan, has good hand speed but I am just not convinced by him.


    Ortiz seems to have a lack of heart with his fight with Maidana.

    This division is more hype than the talent they are claiming it to be.

    Those two just made Khan/Maidana look like fight of the century :patsch

    Horrible fight considering what was expected.

    That was a fight between the number 1 and number 3 of the division...It was poor.

    Agree. I noticed that neither fighter has good punching power. Sry but Pacman would destroy either fighter that night.

    I've said for a year that 140 is way overrated. The best fighter at 140 by far is Bradley's skull.

    yeah, a prime tszyu, chavez, mosely, pbf, duran, pryor, dlh, etc. would kill these guys.

    don't hate on devon, though. he had to fight through a vicious headbutt cut from the third round on. with a contested and evenly matched fight such as this, that means everything and there are few warriors such as cotto that will persevere and only a few pussies such as Clottey that won't capitalize.

    that being said, even without the cut, bradley wins.

    This whole division is overrated. Bunch of B class fighters except Bradley who's A-.

    i agree bradley and alexander cannot hang with pac or may at all. amir khan cant either but i think he is the most talented skill wise. i thought bradley had alot of potential before tonight but i just wasnt that impressed, still bradley could possibly beat khan but no way is he ready for pac or may.

    Bradley is good. Decent technique. Good heart and determination. He is not an A class fighter. He is not P4P material. I don't think he beats any great 140 lb'er in a past era.

    Pac can make 140, he should go back down and beat the lineal champ and get some unified belts when its ready, whoever that may be. Im guessing its Khan so doubt it will happen.

    I think after the Alexander win and based on overall resume, he has to break top 10 p4p atleast.

    IMO the division is stacked with B level fighters. Bradley is B+ and Khan is A-.

    Pac is the lineal champ at 140. He beat hatton who was the lineal champ at 140 and then he didn't fight in that division. They even said it in the telecast.

    Bradley maybe int he 11-15 but not the 10 P4P which I was referring to. Khan is not A class either. Not by getting KO'ed in 1 round by a journey man and almost getting knocked out by Maidana in that fight. I think he is a good fighter but an A fightet at this point in time; I dont think so.
