    Bradley should look to stay at 140 for as long as possible. The division is **** hot atm.

    Joshua Clottey - what a *****! He was offered a keep busy fight on a smaller Top Rank card but turned it down cos he's a 'HBO fighter' :lol::patsch

    Urango as well. These are guys who are built for 140. All the better for it IMO, it's always good to see dominating figures at one weight class IMO, going through a Generations worth of contenders is as good for ones resume as going through weights and sometimes skipping decent challenges in the weight class you were in for rabbing a bauble four lbs North.

    One of my hopes for next year is to see ever titleholder at 140 face another. Apparently Alexander vs Urango is in the works? Good stuff.

    Hopefully Khan vs Bradley after Khan's next fight. Will it be on the undercard of Paulie vs Pac? Maybe Khan vs Bradley to help sell it?!?!?!??

    Wishful thinking.

    Loads of great fights at 140. Hopefully the'll get made because none of the guys is a massive name in America so hopefully they'll all need to fight each other to make the really big money.

    Dzinziruk is still with Universum so that Angulo fight looks unlikely :-(

    I disagree, Bradley can do well at any weight. He's no one trick pony.

    I await his Crusierweight title bid with great interest.

    34? Blimey. For some reason I was under the impression that he was closer to 24 than 34. Probably won't go as far as I was expecting then, unfortunately

    That was close to being made at one time I believe.

    I agree. Would be a very interesting fight. My money would be on Alexander, but it'd be a close one.

    Bradley should stay at 140 there's some nice fights and a legacy to be built over 2010 then move up after beating the rest of the champions and challengers that 140 brings in 2010. He will be very small at welterweight but he looks to me to have the right camp and team to be able to move to most weights with ease and take on the best at welter. He's a superb tactician and has talent that's progressing with each camp.

    I don't think I've seen enough of Alexander, its hard to judge how good is his on the back of beating a 34 year old Witter. He looked a tidy enough boxer with good fundamentals in that fight but can he execute them with Urango trying to walk him down for 12 rounds?

    Shemuenov Vs Campillo on friday as well as Lara Vs Brewer
