    No way should Alexander be above Khan. Urango was not a better fighter than Malignaggi and Kotelnik is leagues ahead of an old Witter. There is absolutely no way you can say Alexander should be ahead of Khan, based on who they've beaten.

    Uhmmm...don't you have to add to that the fact that he got knocked out in 51 seconds by a B-level fighter? Isn't that a consideration? :D

    Probably Bradley as top dog with Alexander and Khan coming after that.

    NOT EVEN A DEBATE IMO...

    1 Bradley
    2 Alexander
    3 Khan

    Bradley is the most proven of the 3 fighters...

    I rank Bradley and Alexander a cut above the rest, including the much ballyhooed Brit. I'm not sure Con can survive Hatton. If Marquez begins campaigning at 140 I fancy him over a lot of the other guys listed.

    There's no clear order, imo. I however voted for: Alexander - Bradley - Khan.

    How do you claim that one?

    Paulie had just gone 1-1 with a LW in Diaz, and didn't look that impressive.

    Urango had just 2 fight before taken Welterweight champion Berto the distance, gave Hatton a much better fight, had never been stopped, and was a legit champion going into the fight.

    It's not relevant.

    Khan wasn't even a good boxer then. He made a lot of mistakes and got by on his speed. It was waiting to happen but Khan is a much improved fighter since then. It also looks like Khan's chin has improved, so it's pretty unlikely he will be knocked out like that again. He's a better boxer, tougher and smarter.

    Not letting that disaster go, is like using Bowe's first win over Holyfield, as a reason why he can still reign at the top.

    Two different fighters, so it should be let go.
