    Ali Funeka is probably going to move up in weight after not making weight. He'll likely be stronger at 140 than at 135. How do you see him against the 5 top guys: Alexander, Bradley, Maidana, Khan, Urango?

    Correction: Sorry he did make weight, but got caught for diuretics.

    Perhaps he can beat Maidana, but if I remember correctly, hes been knocked down a few times, a good boxer, perhaps bad chin, and needs to up his work rate. The other guys I don't think he can beat.

    Work rate could be increased at 140, since he doesn't have to drain himself to make 135. He has height and reach on everyone, and has a pretty decent jab. Chin is definitely a problem however, I agree.

    Funeka gets his ass kicked frequently at 140.

    :rofl:lol::rofl:lol::rofl:lol:

    Maidana would hospitalize Funeka.

    Funeka loses to all of them. Yes, even Urango.

    I don't think funeka has got the power at 140 to hurt anybody.

    His Chin could have been affected by draining to make 130
