Thx for putting on 2 good quality fights! 140 is absolutely full with talent and it's almost hard to come up with a bad match-up. All four came to win on Saturday night, and the two winners impressed me very much. Malignaggi clearly put his past losses behind and showed the stuff we were impressed back in the day, and Bradley's getting better and better with each fight, and Peterson pushed him to that next level. I doubt it was the last we've seen of Lamont and Juan Diaz. The average age at 140 is very low, and there are so many guys for the few titles that the division will be loaded with quality match-ups, with these kids sharing 10+ wins and losses with each others. All these guys are here to stay, the division is so young: Alexander - 22 Ortiz - 22 Khan - 23 Peterson - 25 Bradley - 26 Maidana - 26 Diaz - 26 Holt - 28 Urango - 29 Alvarado - 29 Malignaggi - 29 You gotta love the light welterweights!
yeah and you also have the older fighters like judah, marquez and hatton hanging around this weight class as well any of these matchups would be great
think 2010 will be the year to remember for this division. Its full of talent, i for one am excited for boxing in 2010, Please make a tournament for 140, it would be a crime not to
Yep, and I think Bradley is the best of the bunch. And he's still developing skills and power, and already looks like he's the total package. In the early rounds when he was so good on the inside I started wondering whether someone from the outside with an excellent jab like Khan could control him and keep at bay, then he started to box from the outside and move beautifully, so much skills and athleticism displayed. He's tough, well conditioned, busy, has pop in his hands, he's damn hard to beat.
I think Hatton Could Beat Bradley at this point in time + I just wish the Pac-Man would move back down after he fights mayweather win or lose. I think Khan would also have to be in the top 5 outa this list for giving people beatdowns but I also think all the guys on that list who could drag him into a war would beat him.
I think Bradley and Alexander are the 2 best young fighters at this weight class. Both are very skilled, both got speed.
My rankings of the Jr. WW division 1. Bradley 2. Khan 3. Maidana 4. Alexander 5. Urango 6. Malignaggi 7. Holt 8. Ortiz 9. Hatton 10. Juan Diaz? or Kotelnik? or Peterson? This is based on the current snap shot in time imo...
Juan Diaz don't belong in the junior welterweight division. Anyone of those fighters at junior welterweight beats him.
